    Educate me on this 41 Ford grill

    What's the story with the 41 Ford grills that look like this. They are different than all the factory ones I have and have seen. This isn't the first time I've seen a set that looks like this. Thank you.

    Does anyone have a diagram or picture of how the electric convertible top motor/lifts mount to the floor? My service bulletin book doesn’t show mounting details. Not sure if I’m missing any brackets or if I have them where they go. Any direction would greatly be appreciated.

Going to start assembling some items to see what all I have and was going to start with the seats and steering column but not sure how the rear seat bolts in.

    1941 Ford Door Hinge Issues

    Both doors on my ‘41 Coupe are sagging and my builder said he doesn’t think oversized pins will fix the issue. Rather he thinks I need new or better lower hinges. Does this sound correct?
