As I work on restoring my own '39 Deluxe Tudor, I'm wondering whether there is someone on the front range of Colorado (Colorado Springs/Denver) who has a correctly restored '39 Deluxe Tudor they would be willing to let me come and look at, photograph, etc.? Mike

You have a very nice car that looks like it may require very little work to show on the Concourse. The best source for a correct restoration would be the Club's 1938-1939 Book available from the Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum and from the online store on this site. http://www.fordv8foundation.org/store.html You could also contact the Colorado Regional Group to get some contacts and the Roster will have more contacts for you. http://hicountryv8.org/ Tom This message was edited by TomO on 4-26-21 @ 8:20 AM

Thank You Tom. I have the Ford book and have been working under the hood for the past 11 months. It's not as pretty under the hood as it is on the exterior. Because so much has been changed under the hood, I don't know what bolts, nuts, etc. are correct, their correct installation, etc., so I'm hoping to see a car that's correctly restored that I can inspect & photograph. (Wrong voltage regulator, starter solenoid, horn relay; Repro fuel pump, distributor & coil; distributor cap boots missing, etc.) The Ford book, service manual, etc. cover most things, but don't help me with the literal nuts & bolts sorts of details, and I feel like Mike Kubarth is going to get tired of hearing from me about every correct nut & bolt. For example: This is an Early 1939 (September 1938) with the scr*w*d on rather than riveted on cowl cross bar. Of the 4 screws, washers, and nuts, holding it on, 3 sets are the same, one is different. Maybe some of them are original, maybe not. I want to attempt to find the best/most correct information. Consulting the EFV-8 Club Roster is a great idea, especially since a new one just came out. Thanks again, Mike
