Fortunately, my car was quite original when it was bought in 1959 so I could pretty much follow its pattern. Other very helpful sources are the Early Ford V8 Club books about each model year that details much, and, particularly, their concourse judging standards. They are very detailed.

One more thing. You've got to get yourself the "Green Bible." It's the 800 page parts book that lists every part for every Ford from 1928 thru 1948. If you wonder whether your car had a part or which part is right for your car, it will tell you and often show you with a diagram. There are several for sale right now on ebay for about $70.00 or you can get it on CD for about $30.00 here:
