Re: Custom 1939 Ford -- Really!
Initially I would be wondering if it had a 1939 Ford chassis. If so, was it a deluxe set up or a standard. Since it doesn't have either then it's not got much 39 Ford in it. The flathead is kind of heavy but some of the custom bodied sports cars had Ford Motors back in the day. The Allard cars had them and there were others too both before and after the war. The 1936 Jensen-Ford was a nice one.

I can appreciate the work that went into it and I would love to take it to a V-8 Club meet.

Re: Custom 1939 Ford -- Really!
It is really awesome. Like if ford made a MG or Triumph. Maybe its a 39 ford, I guess.
Lot of talented builders lately. |

Re: Custom 1939 Ford -- Really!
V8COOPMAN Quote '57 MG doors, windshield, trunk lid, rear fenders! And the bulbous '39 fenders glued-onto the front....that thing ain't nothin but plain, hurtin', UGLY! And that front I-beam is all bent to hell with the excessive negative camber on the passenger side. I AIN'T impressed! I gotta wonder how many gallons of Bondo might be schmoozin' those front fender fillets? DD
=============================================== DD, here are a couple pictures of the right wheels/tires centered in the wheel openings, and the left wheels/tires centered in the wheel openings. There is quite a difference, wonder if it drives straight Click on pictures to Enlarge

Re: Custom 1939 Ford -- Really!
Well the last point I have about this thread is the guy followed through. Like it or hate it it's built and not some chopped up car destine to be scrape. Or a ratrod junk.
You would just need a few fenders really, not mess up a whole car. If you bought a nice 39 and just ripped the fenders and motor... well. . Last edited by Tinker; 05-14-2021 at 10:54 PM. |

Re: Custom 1939 Ford -- Really!
WOW....what an obvious mess! I see now that it has some sort of Corvette IFS and a 'coil-over-mounted' S-10 rear axle. I'd bet a hunnert buck$ that it would scare the bejesus out of ya looking underneath that thing. Denny can try it out and let us know how it drives. He LIKES it! DD

Spacemonkey. It's okay to have a little fear. I don't know how it was built. Do you

I still like it. And I bet I can fix that, too.

Re: Custom 1939 Ford -- Really!
I don't mind it and have seen way worse like the two 51 Mercury-ct posted. However it doesn't look like the hood is closed on the car that is the subject of this thread.

Re: Custom 1939 Ford -- Really!
Things like that can be burned into your mind, never to be erased. In the '60's, there was a guy from Kenosha, WI, that had a '36 5 window that was nicely done. It was featured in a couple of magazines, and since I was a '36 guy then, I took immediate notice. A couple of years later there was another feature article about the car, with all the "improvements" he had made. Said "improvements" included a garish scalloped paint job, a bunch of kitchen drawer pulls on the grille, and a big stuffed dog he used as a display at shows (along with spotlights, mirrors, and angel-hair). I was so appalled by the way he spoiled a decent car that I will never be able to forget it. I remember his name and the name of his car but will not post it here on the chance he may still be among us.
