Interesting, Kube. My 39 Convertible Coupe has the separate feet as in the lower set. Could being body #19 of the convertible coupes be the reason? Just curious.

I’m sure @kube can answer your question.

Nice score Michael. That thing looks great. Add me to the camp of leaving it unrestored and just making it mechanically sound. With your track record of impeccable restorations, it’s not like you have to prove you are capable. Lol. I’m looking forward to see what you decide to do with it, and...

Thanks for the reply Kube.

Hahaa. Never mind. I see how the innards come out now. I still need to tig up the lower edge of the opening and straighten that up, but I should be able to do that with the housing still in place.

Will the guts come out without removing the whole assembly?

They are worn out.

As the title states, I need to remove the dovetail assemblies in the b pillar on my 39 Conv. I know I’ll have to drill the rivets out, but I don’t see a way to get it out of the b pillar once it’s loose. The b pillar is totally enclosed on all sides.

Thank you sir. As long as you’re getting it done, that’s all that really matters.

I had to weld up the rear mount area on the tailhousing and re drill and tap it, so I could narrow it enough to where it would slide backwards into the open area to clear the clutch. Of course that means extending the trans cover rearward so the trans can come out.

Here’s how I modified my 39 with the body off of course. I wanted to be able to easily pull the trans if I had to from the top side.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, sir. That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure.

As the title says, I'm needing to know what the diameter of the stock front anti-roll bar on a 40 pass. car. Thanks, Ron

I just cut the old floor out of my 39 Convertible coupe this afternoon. None of the floor had ever been touched and it only had two thicknesses present, the floor pan and the rocker panel over the top of it. No “sub rail” as has been mentioned. It is a very early body, #19, so maybe that is why...

I second that on the Whirly Jig. A little costlier than some, but I've been well pleased with mine. I have had it since 2006.

Thanks for the info guys. I appreciate the feedback. I will pass this info on to my friend. Thanks again, Ron.

A friend of mine brought these by today trying to find out something about them. They are new still in what’s left of the box. Has anyone ever seen a set of these?

I would suggest some 45* fittings in the housing so you can mount it vertically. Less mess when you’re changing the oil. Then add a stone shield as you had planned and you should be good to go.

I’m needing one 37 pass car hubcap with a nice or repairable stainless cap on it. Thanks, Ron
