40 Ford convertible Top Frame
I have a 40 convertible rolling shell. Last year I was looking around for info and I ran across either a parts book or web site that sells the whole convertible frame with all the wood for $2,000. Now I cant locate it anymore.
Does anyone have info on this? I would appreciate any help. I plan on starting work this spring so I want to get all my info in order. I'm sure Ill have many questions. I plan on keeping the exterior fully stock except paint color. All the rest completely custom. Please Help, Thanks, Frank |

I don't know about a source for stock configured framing but Wescott has a street rod frame the has 2" lower headroom bows. See page K-142 of this link:

Wescotts Auto Restyling in oregon has 40 conv top bows and mechanisms. Oak Bows in Chambersburg Pa. makes new front and rear wood bows for these. They are really nice quality.Fran

Re: 40 Ford convertible Top Frame
There's one on the jalopyjournal.com then click on the HAMB and look in the classifieds. Under parts on page 17. It looks like it's missing the iron bow that runs side to side over the front seat.

Did you contact Wescott's to see if they also have original shape irons or is it just the lowered street rod type? Last edited by glennpm; 03-01-2017 at 03:56 PM. |

Re: 40 Ford convertible Top Frame
The top specialist is on vacation but the first thing she said is for their bodies only. I'll call back at another time in a couple of weeks.. But they do sell the wood header and bow. Header is $450 rear bow is $275. So maybe I'll start there because I do have the frame. But again I saw the whole frame complete for $2,000 somewhere.
Thanks for the info. |

Re: 40 Ford convertible Top Frame
You're welcome.
Too bad its only for their bodies but at least you can get those two parts. I'm curious too as to where you saw the frames for sale. Owning a 40, I like to keep track of such offerings. Glenn |
