    Hot Wheels '40

    I saw on a Ch**y truck forum how to use Microsoft Copilot to make yourself a Hot Wheels car. I tried it with my '40 but it looks more like a Volkswagen than a Ford. I have had the pleasure owning of this Tudor for the last 57 years. https://www.fordbarn.com/attachments/566124/

    TV Stars and Fords

    My wife and I went to the Greensboro Classic Car Auction in Greensboro, NC today. Ted Vernon from South Beach Classic was there with a film crew. We had seen him from a distance (we were in the back and he was up front at the auction podium). My wife said she would like to have her picture...

    What is this bracket?

    I did not want to hijack dixiedeluxe's thread about a Mercury in a '40, but I do have a question about 19fordy's photo in his reply to dixiedeluxe. I have a 1940 that has had a 8ba installed since I got the car in 1968. I do not have the bracket that is circled in the photo from 19fordy that...

    Calibrate Speedometer

    On my 1930 ccpu the speedometer runs about 4 miles per hour faster than the truck is going; it registers 45 but the gps says it is going 41. I took off the turtle this afternoon and it has 9 34 and then under that 19 cast into the turtle housing. I understand that to be 19 teeth, 3.78 rear...

    Electrical Help--6v. NEGATIVE Ground

    I just discovered today that my new to me 1930 ccpu has the 6 volt battery with the pos. going to the starter and the neg. going to ground. Everything works, the ammeter shows a positive charge when running. Should I just leave it alone? Or, should I change back to pos. ground? If I should...

    1940 Transmission Question

    Will the side plate cover on a 1940 car transmission come off while the transmission is in the car? Prior to 1968, a previous owner welded the shift levers to the shafts. Of course, it leaks gear oil and there is no easy way to undo the welds to get the seals replaced. I will probably have to...
