Northern Classic trucks is gone, and along with their retirement they destroyed their COE tooling, has someone stepped in to fill the void?

Searched through the barn and didn't see anything on what to use to seal the bolt/nut-clip area. "nut-clip...?" It appeared on my parts car that Ford used some sort of "tar" like stuff applied to the fasteners on the inside of the car... is that a correct assumption? Did they put the stuff...

...maybe better said as what SHOULD be behind the seat... My coupe seems like an odd duck when trying to find other coupes with the same behind the seat orientation... This basket-case has been a challenge, I couldn't have gotten this far without barn help. This is where I started: I've...

It seems that most '40 firewalls have a plug for the big hole in the center of the firewall, is that what I'm missing? Neither of the '40s I've had (such as they were) had anything there.. My '38 Plymouth (first pic) had the coil stuffed in a hole in a very similar location...

It looks like you have to unbolt the regulators, hook the new glass onto them and install as a unit? OR... pivot the regulators on one of the six bolts (which one?), Suggestions?! ...the regulators on 39s are big and have a removable center pivot point. Bought the glass from Bob's Classic Glass...

Pics of my '40 painted in my garage yesterday. Ordered Folkestone gray from TCP... why does it look like Sahara Tan... are my old eyes playing tricks on me? Got some serious orange peel (but that's a different story....) grabbed this pic off the web:

Pair of 40-41 Pick-up front fenders got these before I knew what the differences were between these and car fenders. They were actually sold to me by a guy who stated they were car fenders, lesson learned... again! the fenders have the usual cracks and dents and some lower rust issues but they...

Ok I bought these fenders several years ago from the attic of a garage in Mass. Holding them up to my coupe they simply don't fit in the cowl areas. Now I know these fenders aren't the best... BUT! After searching the web it seems I have truck fenders, the rear flange is squared off and on the...

Doors on or off? I can see benefits and drawbacks to either. I will be painting the deck-lid and fenders off the body. I keep changing my mind about whether to put the doors back on... I have taken them off to epoxy prime them and do the body work, they will be finished soon. I've painted...

I was able to find one for the '38 Plymouth I had done several years ago (see picture)... sooo... I'm thinking that finding one for a '40 Ford coupe should be easy! ...wrong!! Sure... you can find complete $1500 lids, but no repair panels? The lower edge is a compound curve and difficult to...

Does anyone sell a complete body kit for a '40 coupe? ..or do you have to buy one piece at a time...ka-ching !!!!$$$$

...putting qtr panel patch panels on my coupe. The panels appear to be too short, and if the panels are short it would change the location of the rear fenders, in turn affecting the running boards, in turn affecting the front sheet metal. Can anyone provide this measurement from an original...

There seems to be two types of shackles available for a 40 ford, the original style and the rubber or poly types... Which is better? When removing the old shackles do you also remove the bushings? (bushings = what is left after the spring bolts are driven out...)

Need the rear side trim, both sides, for a '40 coupe... doesn't have to be perfect... If you've got only one, I'll be halfway there! Thanks

Reassembling my coupe body, I had to remove the roof to fix the drip rails (there were only a few spot welds holding it on), I never trusted the dimensions of the body since it was in such terrible shape, and using the roof to determine the width seems iffy at best since the roof flexes so much...

But what is it! Model a frame and wheels? Model T roadster body and tank? I'd love to build one !

I've got two sets of pedals, each was sold to me as being absolutely positively for a '40. Well neither of them fit. They appear to be '46 - 48 pedals. The first set was bought at Hershey, he was POSITIVE they were for a 40; cuz "the tag says so", the second set was bought from ebay where the...

I bought a badly rusted basket case 40 a few years ago... and with it came axles (year unknown so far...) & '46 front hubs/brakes and only backing plates on the rear... these rear hubs have me stumped! there is no brake drum and the bolt pattern is 5 x 4 3/4 (or 4 1/2?), They seem to fit the...

Putting a s10 4x4 t5 in my '40 using adapters, this allows me to use the factory rear axle and torque tube, and be able to run highway speeds. BUT #1! I have to remove the bottom plate that ties the x-frame together so the trans can be removed if necessary in the future, BUT #2, the wishbone...

As everyone knows, many ford frames are double walled because of the way the x-members also become innerframes front and back. Is there a way to get a rust prventaive between the two layers of frame, meaning the side rails and where they connect to the x-member... or is it nothing to be...
