Re: 1942 Ford deluxe coupe project
Tom, I just bought a 1944 parts book, which I think was a good investment. Some of the part numbers changed from then until the "Green Bible" was issued in 1950. It also covers Mercury. Very time-consuming process making the package tray. On the 42 as I recall the vinyl came over the portion closest to the seat. I elected to leave the wood uncovered there. Thought it looked better and a conversation starter that wood was still being used. I was surprised by a number of comments at the Auburn Early V8 meet that the 42 should be in the "Rouge" class. It doesn't meet the criteria unfortunately which I was aware of. BTW I also have a 1949 8N tractor. Mine is stock but if I saw a Funk conversion one, I might own another one!
