I drove my ‘39 Tudor into the shop with intentions of replacing the saggy baggy headliner. Two weeks later I haven’t touched the headliner. I’ve carpeted the trunk including making cards for the wheel well area using Vetter CAD. I’ve torn into the dash to get the vertices chrome pieces from...

What’s the fuzzy stuff in the inside of the window garnish molding on my ‘39 standard called and where can I get it? https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=5888&pictureid=46866

I have some new (to me) tools that maybe someone might recognize. You can look at the in my tools album user cp photos. Or if someone more IT savvy could attach them to this post.

Ford script 94 carburetor. Functioned as designed when removed. I did the 2 Jet conversion. Photos in my album. $300 Free shipping to the lower 48. Thanks, Jim

The tool tray covers that came with my ‘39 Tudor standard are made of something like a high density card board. Smooth on the bottom and an impressed wood grain on the top. I’m thinking these might be the original or correct replacements. I’ll post some photos in my album. Are they original...

I took my ‘39 out today for the first ride of ‘23. Over the winter I converted it to a Rochester 2gc from the Ford 8RT. I think the ‘51 Merc flathead in the old beast runs a lot better. It will pull cleanly from 25 mph in third and the carb is quiet. The old carb sounded like it was sucking...

I am in the process of a 2gc carb conversion for my ‘51 Merc engine. I have the manifold and carb and I have some questions. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=5694&pictureid=45262 https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=5694&pictureid=45258...

I’m going to install an electric fuel pump to aid in starting after dormant periods. The installation instructions show using an positive oil pressure switch to prevent the fuel pump from continuing to run in case of an accident. I understand but how long will I have to crank do generate...

I replaced the original gauges in my ‘39 Standard with NVU Woodward. And I have a three hole panel for 2 1/16 gauges residing in the butchered radio space. I’m thinking of a vacuum gauge and a tach but wondering about the third position. Clock, not really watching the time and have a phone...

https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/album.php?albumid=5565&pictureid=44428 I’m looking for sources of switch gear labels for my dash. I haven’t found anything that I like so far . Some of my ideas are a chrome switch bezel that I could modify and attach above the switch. Or what I really like is a...

Happy Holidays to all. Just wanted to express my gratitude for all the help I have gotten from this forum. Information from members of this forum has given me the knowledge and resources needed to do the following to my 1939 Tudor Standard. Remove the engine and fix the oil pan leak, replace...

In my previous vacuum guage thread I closed with “off to the next adventure” I will add also the the motor runs great even though I suspect it’s a little tired but I don’t want to check the compression and open that can of worms, something’s are better left unknown for the present. My next...

I got a vacuum guage and plugged it into the 51 Merc in my ‘39 Ford. I had the carbs set pretty close by ear. Set the timing by the gauge and ooo did that change the sound of the old beast. Most importantly it pulls a nice healthy 20 inches and very steady. Happy

I was thinking about adding a somewhat high mounted center stop light above the license plate on my 39 standard. I like the looks of the ‘32 light with “STOP” on the upper half. Has anyone else done this? What did you use for mounting the light? Ya, I know I’m crazy, my wife keeps me well...

I going to look at a pile of flathead engines and transmissions. Pretty much ignorant of values and the guy won’t start the conversation. Do I just value them as cast iron at the recyclers. Or can someone give me a going price per engine per transmission or what you would pay. Thanks, Jim

Is there a way to give my ‘39 Tudor’s front end a little altitude. Like about 2” of lift. Spacers between the spring leaves? Addition of coil over shocks? All the spring sets I see are standard or drops of 1 1/2 or 2”. I just like to get it level or a little nose high. The current spring...

I performed an enginectomy this afternoon so I could fix the leaky oil pan. I removed the ‘53 Merc from my 1939 Tudor standard with no drama. Now I am looking for and tips or information on things to do while I am at this stage. The motor ran smoothly and didn’t smoke. It had good oil...

Hi, The parking brake on my ‘39 standard will not catch when pulled out. Would someone post a photo of the top side of the handle. Mine has a small plate with a flat spring attached with a hose clamp and it works, remove the hose clamp and the spring and it won’t catch. I have photos but...

Sorry I didn’t catch names, I was totally blown out of the water! Monday morning last following up on a lead for a gear for my windshield roll out regulator I called Chevi-Shop. I got the answering machine which was kinda garbled but left a message anyway even though I was not sure I got the...
