His and Hers 40 Fords

[m3fan]

With all this time on my hands I thought I’d submit some pics. I hope you enjoy!

First is the 40 p/u. Idea was to get low in the weeds so used a Art Morrison chassis from the wagon rod. Had to lengthen a small amount but other than that it drops right in.Replaced the bed floor with wooden coffee sticks 

Paint is my version of a candy apple red. Silver base, mica red, clear red then clear.

Second is the coupe built box stock but with the Kelsey Hayes from the 32 sedan.

color for this is a Jeep color called rescue green. Hard to photograph but a cool color.

comment and critiques welcome

Nice pair of ´40s! Both colors look great!

[Limeyglue]

Really cool builds

Cool looking pair .

[cobraman]

Couple of very cool Fords.

[Dragonhawk1066]

Outstanding pair!! I really like both colors!

[Gramps46]

Oh yes, a couple of really neat '40s.  I particularly like the wire wheels on the coupe.  A very novel idea.

[m3fan]

thanks for everyones interest! Like I said I don't normally do this so its nice to hear comments.

Great looking pair. I like how you did the bed on the pickup especially the chrome trim. The color on the coupe isn't something I'd think of until seeing this and it looks perfect here. I like the Flathead engine here also.

Agreed- both kits look great. I've admired Rescue Green on Jeep JKs, and never imagined it on a '40...that works extremely well.

They candy red is hot!

Very nice pair. I can't help but think how good that green would look on the PU too.

Cate to share any pics of the WagonRod chassis under that truck? Could be the picture angle, but both tires look a little too far back in the fenders. 

I saw a 40 PU last summer that I want to build and the WagonRod chassis was my first thought.

Hi Jason yes you are right no matter how much you measure twice and cut once! Here is an underside shot didn’t think too many would see it so it’s a bit untidy?

Beautiful Ford’s! IMO the ‘40 Fords make the coolest hot rods. Great work on both ?? and that green on the coupe is fantastic!

[RAMBENNA]

That WagonRod frame sure does look like it fits very well.

Thanks for sharing.

WoW !   Those are beautiful builds ! I love the classic lines of the 40. Some people prefer the 32, some the 33-4, some the 36, but not me. 40 is where it's at.

[stavanzer]

That Coupe Rocks! Colour, Stance and Wheels, are all spot on!

[Bainford]

What a gorgeous pair of old Fords. I love the style on both of them, and nice colours too. Very cool!

[slusher]

Absolutely stunning pair of Fords!!

[Cpt Tuttle]

Two great builds, but I especially like the pickup where everything is so spot on, colour, stance, wheels, everything.

[ewetwo]

They look awesome.
