I took this pic of another guys 40 coupe. Is this contour and gap at the front of the rear fender good?

Thanks for the info Tech Guy on my phone call to you Friday afternoon. I have posted pics of 40 rear quarters, that have not been replaced. I will take some pics of my 39 this Sunday and post for Monday.

Thank you, I will get some pics and try to post them. That has been a big help....

Looking for pictures of 37 through 40 coupes showing the gap between the running board and the bottom of the door / quarter panel. Need to know what is acceptable, as I am installing the quarter panels at this time. Thank you......

I am installing new rear quarter panels on my 39 standard coupe. They were purchased from EMS. They don't fit too bad but there seems to be a gap of about 1-1/2 in. from the bottom of the panel to the top of the running board, right in the corner, where the leading edge of the fender, the...

Very nice!!!!!!! It's amazing what comes up when you least expect it!!

Need to hear from those who have replaced their inner rockers/sub rails. Especially those who bought the short ones from EMS or Mac's, then fabricated the rest, from the b pillar back to the rear wheel. I would prefer to talk to someone on this, as mine are shot and am deciding which way to go...

WOW a blast from the past!! There is some else who remembers this film! I watched it as a kid, and I believe they end up putting dynamite or nitro glycerin in a hot rod and driving it into the monster. Wasn't there was another movie about that time called The Tarantula?????

Thanks everyone, Sorry, I was not specific from the start. Lets rephrase. I have a 8" Ford rear end and a 51 Ford trans, with the open line. Now, if, at some time I would use that rear end I would want to put parallel leaf springs on it. I know putting leaf springs with a torque is a bad...

I'm new to this forum and posted a question regarding replacing a rear end and putting parallel leaf spring in my STOCK 39 Standard. I too want to keep my car correct, but with a few subtle changes, like a "hopped up" 49 8rt, and F1 juice brakes up front. Now I do respect the Ford Barn and it's...

Thanks George, could you please clarify the "Granda" is that how much you have into it, or is that with Granada springs and rear end. :) You are spot on as far as your comments regarding the fine line between those restore down to the nut and those who stay within the "boundary's"

Thanks Mart, I was looking to PERHAPS put a Ford rear end that I have along with the leaf springs. I was looking for some one who put springs on their car that came off another type of vehicle. I still have my 39 trans as well as the torque tube with a 8rt leading the way.

Need some advice. I would like to change out the transverse spring on my 39 standard and put in parallel springs. What parallel springs can I use on my 39 standard to replace the transverse spring. Besides buying from a catalog. Thanks
