Yes, me too.. thanks guys. Just what I was looking for!

So, just pry them off with a screw driver?

Thanks, does it require a special tool to remove the clips?

No show car here either, question is how do you remove them?

I need to remove and replace the windshield chrome trim and I'm not sure how to remove them (39 deluxe). Any suggestions?

I use brakelighter. Works great. https://www.brakelighter.com/

Looking for a source for a car cover for my 39 tudor deluxe.

Great looking Hudson.. gotta love twin H Power!

Had some weeping between head & block. Changed 16# radiator cap to a 6# and 6 oz Bar's Leaks Radiator Stop Leak. Leak stopped.

I double clutch when I downshift in any gear. Still working on 2nd to 1st.. It's the heel & toe (gas & brake) that take practice. Was easy when I was kid..

OK, so now you got me looking at the 3.25 again.. I've been bouncing between that & the 3.54.. Maybe by the time I'm ready (any time now) I'll be able to make up my mind. Going over the rpm/mph chart for both, I think 3.25 would be just right. Thanks.

Yes and that's what my car was designed for.. the 1939 suspension, steering, etc is most comfortable at speeds under 55 mph, and so am I (in this car). The 3 speed & stock rear end is all I want. I bought the car more for nostalgia than anything else. My first car was a 40 Merc (1958-60) and...

Actually, changing gear ratios is my only option. I want to keep it simple and keep the stock rear end and xmission. Have pretty much decided on the 3.54 as most of my driving is on back roads and surface streets (except for some interstate driving to get off this mountain).

Finally 'got 'r done', well almost. Have to run the green (a/c override) wire through a switch to 12v, and finish adjusting the set point down to 180/160. First test, fan came on at 220 off at 200 and I have it down to 200/180 now. Then clean up the mess I made of the wiring & call it a day...
