congrats on getting your shoebox, i'm in the middle of putting a 49 coupe back together.

there isnt anyplace better for ford flathead info than the ford barn. i just finished putting my first flathead together with the help of this site, a few books, and my dad.

for questions specific to your car, register with http://www.shoeboxford.com/ and checkout the discussion forum. lots of great info on 49 - 51 fords there.

and i'd recommend buying a green bible:

http://www.amazon.com/1949-1950-Serv.../dp/B0007IN9LW

the book covers everything from engine and transmission problems to installing a new windshield.

good luck, don't forget to post some pictures to!
