Dick,
I too had a '40 Ford coupe back in the fifties . The first thing I did
was paint it Chevy Sierra Gold. I put on a set of Canadian Ford aluminum
heads that I had milled at the local machine shop. Then went for the
dropped front axle and the raised rear end. It was the coolest. I kept
that car for quite a while eventually putting three deuces on it along
with a '39 floor shift and a Columbia 2 speed rear end. Then I got a '34
three window.
Memories.
