Not sure who the board admin is, but I'm not able to access the board via Tapatalk anymore. I get 'Network error, please try again later. (get_config)'. Uninstalled/reinstalled Tapatalk, but it appears to be an issue with the forum rather than Tapatalk in this case.

Hey all, does anywhere sell a correct longer 1940 Ford negative battery cable for a proper terminal 5v battery so the cable goes around the hot air tubes to the solenoid? I realized the one I have from CWMoss (their only 1940 neg battery cable) is too short. This sort one probably works for a...

Fyi, after what seems like forever being out of stock, Bob Drake finally found a new supplier for the 1940 Bumper Guards! Price went up a bit, but great to finally have a set. Still way cheaper than getting originals re-chromed. I'm seeing several online stores start to carry them as well...

Hey all, been a bit! Still working on the 1940 Ford battery 3D printed case, but life has been quite busy. It's about 65% done at this point. Anyway, a few detail questions beyond Kube's book. 1) When it comes to the driver's door armrest in the Fordor Deluxe, in Kube's book, it's said to be...

It didn't even click there's a Model T section on FordBarn, I'm normally in the Early V8 section due to my 1940 Ford. But I've been posting on several forums/Facebook groups as I'm on the hunt for my Grandfather's 1916 Model T Touring Car. Maybe someone will know something here... Original...

I realize I put this in the wrong section of the forum... please remove!

Hey all! I'm still working through some other projects before I can get back to the 1940 Ford Battery case I'm 3D printing, and I still owe you all the video of my 1940 Zenith radio with mini-computer inside and how it works soon! My original 1940 Ford Deluxe Fordor TRICO wiper motor is in...

Hey all! Okay, so this might have to be a multi-part post as I'm not sure how long/how many photos I can post in one single post. So, bear with me as I showcase this really fun project I did a few months ago. I thought I'd share what I did here to inspire others to, perhaps, do something...

Looking to purchase a replacement 1940 Deluxe Grille for my Fordor, as the grille I have now is too pitted and the chrome worn down that it'd cost way, way more to get it rechromed (which is no guarantee it'll even clean up). So, going for a repro grille. There are three grilles that I see...

Hey all, question on the dome lights for the 1940 Ford. I guess I didn't document my disassembly as well as I should have with these lights, but they were missing the gaskets. So there's five parts, the metal housing with the bulb, the plastic light diffuser that's white, a paper gasket, a metal...

Hey all! After being frustrated with the lack of anyone making the 1940 Ford battery case anymore for the Red top Optima, and the Battery Central Mall 1940 Ford battery being SO expensive and a half year lead time... I decided to design and print the case myself. It's going to be a difficult...

Hey all, I'm trying to make the oil filter that came with my 1940 Ford more accurate. I'm in search of the two clips that secure the inlet and outlet lines to the engine. The inlet clip attaches to the spark plug wire conduit, and the outlet clip attaches to one of the head studs. I might be...

Hey all, I'm looking for the ceramic two terminal post top to the 1940 Ford hot air switch. The ceramic broke on mine. It's still usable, but if someone has a switch that's missing the ivory and is just the base that I can use and swap the ceramic/resistor top with the terminals, that would be...

Hey all. Restoring my 1940 Ford hot air blower. The original wires are so faded and were cut so short that I can't tell what was power and what was ground. Testing them out... Weirdly, no matter how I wire the two wires, the motor turns the same counter clockwise direction (which is the...

I've got several various Ford Wheels in various styles and sizes that I don't need that came with my 1940 Ford. All of them are Ford-marked, some still have tires on them. I'd prefer local pickup (especially for the ones with the tires), but I can ship at least the smaller wheels at your...

Hey everyone, restoration is progressing slowly on my '40 Fordor Deluxe. But getting there bit by bit, much more difficult than my 1944 Ford GPW Jeep, that's for sure! I have some questions on a few things. B Pillar Rubber? On the either inside sides of both B Pillars, there's a playable...

1940 Ford Deluxe Fordor - Looking for any door panels with cloth upholstery (or just the upholstery), the B pillar upholstery, and possibly the front seat upholstery. With the major upholstery companies now out of business, perhaps someone has a repro kit sitting that they didn't end up using...

Hey all, on the hunt to complete the heater system in my 1940 Ford Deluxe Fordor Sedan. I have everything now except for the shroud that attaches to the rear of the radiator for the heater. I jut got the flexible tube, but I'm not only missing that shroud. It should have two clips that clip onto...

Hey everyone, looking to see if anyone has a 1940 Ford Zenith radio that doesn't work at all and they want to part with it for a good deal. Guts can be removed or missing altogether, I need it mostly as a shell. It would be nice if it had the speaker, but I can get a modern one if not.
