There is no car that looks better than a forty ford . In my humble opinion especially black and the front end with the beautiful styling begs flames sir you own the quintessential hot rod thanks for sharing this beauty.
I had a 40 coup for my first car. Soon the block cracked, and I put in a brand new 64 283 high performance. Immediately the transmission blew and I installed a Muncie and Chev real end. I loved it. I stiffened up the suspension and it was a great flat tracker. Later on I installed ram induction with 2 fours. Then wrecked it. lol. Should have kept it. Only the rear end was squashed due to a 180 crash into a mountain side from a dead end road in the fog.
Fine looking Ford, these were always my favorite pre war cars. I have a 40 pickup that is stalled out in mid restoration, just never seem to have the time or energy to get it put back together.
My father has a 1940 Ford coupe deluxe hes trying to sell with 2000hp and nitrous. It had original frame that was extended 3in. Dale Earnhardt drove my father's car once. It was built by hendrix motorsports and a couple other big name companies. It's an absolute weapon.
Sir Chuck !! Nice restore of the hot rod ,,but would have liked to see the ''ol''flat head with triduce carbs on it to make the''Little Duce Coupe '' Anyhows,,did you get any hits on ''OL''RED ????? Would like to see it when its restored !!! KEEP IT SAFE !!! OPPPS !! Wrong video as ""OL""Red was on ''Spokemotors "" SORRY !!!

Very nice car, with a really classic look of "hot rod". Thanks for taking us along, Chuck.
It looks that good in person. Trust me. Beautiful.
A man who really enjoys his car! Not afraid to take it out of the garage.
Very nice car, sure wish it was a flathead V8. Like what you did with valve covers!

Looks as good as Gene Sonnens 40 which is my fav 40 of all time! Beautifully done, congratulations!
Beautiful, simply beautiful.
He screwed it up when he took the Flathead out of it!
at least its not a chevy
Beautiful 40 Coupe, however I prefer Ford engines in them.
Hello: I love that car. It made me think of my friends completely original 37 Ford 2 door in a grey color.
Very nice.
YOU RIGHT HOT ROD HAS TO HAVE THREE PEDELS
Beauty! Hi John!
Love your "40!
Great flames!

2000hp would really be a weapon!
very cool version
It's also a very nice driver.
John your car is to die for. T O'Connor
Hopefully not....
Love it ! ESP the 4 speed
It is a great ride.
Me podrías decir la medida de las llantas por favor?
Looks good, but why in the world would you put a Chev V8 in a Ford V8?
cheaper than a ford
The flames look very nice and not at all gaudy.

@@KB-gs8zi Thanks.
Resemble AMT model 40 Ford 3 in 1 box.
I had one of those models. If I remember correctly it could have been built as a 1939 or a 1940.

Right, nothing and about that.
This is a 70s style custom. That's when small block chevys and flames dominated the scene. By then, people were too lazy to keep running flatheads.
"Lazy?"
Wow Great looking Car I would Pull that motor out and give A Ford 390 !
nice car..to bad its ruined with a small block chevy
Nice car too bad for the sb chev !
always a chevy. ruins a nice car
I would have put a small block ford in it, or a flathead or Ardun, but to each his own.
Same old hot rod. Same parts same set ups as every other dude.
