I have the glove box door, lock, and hinge, so I don't really want to buy a full kit just for the striker. Would anyone have one? Thanks! Paul

Hi all - I have the Passenger side one, but need the driver's side (see pic attached. This is the small trim that has the hole at one end.) Thanks for the help! Paul

Quick update - I found one , thanks for all your help Ford Barn - and thank you John! Paul

Hello all - I'm trying to track down the history of my vehicle (1940 Ford Convertible Coupe). I live in Austin, Texas, bought the car in San Antonio. I sent the state a records request, but all I received was a copy of my transaction, and the title the previous owner signed over to me, dated...

Hello all, I'm looking for the following pictured part (driver's side) -- not sure what this is called, but it's near the top of the window where the curve is. This is for a 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible Coupe. Pic 1 is the good one on the passenger side, pic 2 is the damaged one on the...

Thanks everyone - found what I'm looking for. Paul

Oh, I should note, my hood is off and upside down , so this picture is of the bracket upside down. And, just in case there is a difference, I have a Ford Deluxe car.

I was trying to see if Drake / Dennis Carpenter, etc sold this, but so far, I haven't found anyone that makes them. Does anyone have one perhaps? (pic attached) This is the bracket that attaches the hood support arm to the hood itself. I have the passenger side one, but not the driver's side...

Hi gang - in looking at pictures of other '40s , I've realized that I'm missing a small bow on my convertible top. I've got the previous owner looking for it, but I'm doubtful I'll find it. Does anyone either have an old partial set, know someone who does, or know of anyone who could manufacture...

Has anyone used one of these "car bubbles?" They're supposed to be great for keeping out moisture, critters and dust... I've seen one at the local Classic car dealer here in Texas, and at one gentleman's house in Houston where I went to see a car for sale. Seems like a great solution...

I received the vehicle with very little of the interior parts and no door handles or mechanisms. I have the new latches mounted on the doors ,but have no idea how the original mechanism ran to the inside door handle - can anyone help with pictures so I know what I need to find/order...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for these for both sides of my vehicle. I was sorting through the things I was given by the previous owner and it looks like these are missing. Any help would be appreciated! Sincerely, Paul PS: Doesnt' look like anyone is manufacturing them currently :(

Rotorwench - that sounds like it exactly. I guess it's just missing the 18, which actually seems to be a common thing when they register these vehicles. I actually just bought this vehicle in San Antonio this week and trailered it home! I just ordered a serial number / patent plate, I'll mount...

I suppose it's possible, but I doubt it. The vehicle has been on the road and owned by this older gentleman for many years, was taken off the road and updated twice by him, until this time he decided to change out the frame and go more restomod, then lost interest/time. The last time it was...

Hello everyone, I'm a new member to the board from Austin, TX. I've been in the hobby for a couple of years now, but have never taken on a project of quite this level. I just picked up a 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible and am doing a restomod type restoration (picking up the pieces where the...
