In 2021 we finally wrapped up all of the major work on the 1939 Ford Tudor that we rescued from a local junk yard. The car last on the road in 1958 and we pulled it from the junkyard in Mid 2019. Thanks for everyone that followed along with the build, Old Yankee Speed and Macs for donating parts, and all of our friends that helped get this back on the road!!!

Every time I get the urge to rebuild some car I watch one of these videos and come to my senses.

After WWII my parents got married and went to Niagra Falls on their honeymoon. The starter on my dad's 1939 Ford did not work and every time they starter out my mom had to get out and push. I can just picture my dad yelling, "Push harder Violet".

I could totally see myself six years ago when I decided to build my 38 Stovebolt chev pickup. It is nearly done and houses a 6.2, 495 hp LS3 with a Tremec 6 speed tranny. I made it myself and there is no more satisfaction on earth than building something like that in your own garage. Good luck with your future builds. Wonderful vid, thanks. A fellow Motor Head

Like other comments, I appreciate seeing the car remain mostly original. One of the things I do when I see an old car is to listen to the old engines. Nice little shop you all got for replacing the rusted-out tin parts. I would love to have that specific car. The 40 Fords and their long nose and entire design is so appealing to me.

It's great how you guys love and respect these cars enough to get them up and running without destroying their soul. To see a car like this in mechanically sound condition, with most of it's original design intact, (except for the engine) and still showing most of the wear, but cleaned up nicely is a treat. There's so many people out there who have way more money than brains who will dump a quarter million into a car and just alter it to the point where the only thing left is the sheet metal, and probably precious little of that! This is so much better to "take what you have and make what you need", and then the end result is a really cool old car that you can actually drive and not have to haul around on a trailer because you're worried about burning all the chrome off of the engine. You can actually have fun with something like this. There are lots and lots of folks who get it, and their hearts skip a beat and do a back flip when a car like this goes by. Well done, gentlemen!

Used an "Honest Charlie" adapter to original transmission but kept the 6 volt system. No problems with starting even in R.I. Mine was "Folkstone Gray" but with a cherry one owner body. Sure wish I had it back (or yours). Great shows/series for us flathead fans. They sure were fun.

This brings back many memories. Around 1966, my older brother bought a 1940 Ford Deluxe, in excellent condition, with a flathead V8. He later put in a 283 ci Chevy V8 with an adapter plate mating it to the top shifter, just as you have in this 1939 model. He passed it on to me and along the way it received a Mercury rear axle and open drive shaft connected to a Chevy 3-speed. It was fun but so uncomfortable. We foolish youngsters wanted a hot rod, but it should have been restored with the original flathead (although originally it had three on the tree -- someone had put in the top shifter later.) It's good to see these old cars still in existence and I hate it when antiques are destroyed just for a movie scene.
