DJack, start with taking pictures with a digital camera of the car and all of the parts. Next, register on Photobucket.com and upload your pictures there. Now you can decide which parts need restoring and which parts can be used as is. Organize the parts that are to be used as is into labeled boxes or envelopes under major categories such as chassis, drive train, body and interior. Next organize the parts that are going to be restored in the same manner. Post a couple of photos of the car on this site, so that we can get an idea of the amount and type of work needed. Then we can give you some ideas of where to start. You should also consider joining the Early Ford V-8 Club and a regional group, buying the 38-39 book available in the online store of this site or on the Early Ford V-8 Foundation site. http://www.fordv8foundation.org/catalog.html Tom

Dennis, is this car that you have a 39 convertible coupe, or a convertible sedan? I am asking this question because if it is in fact a convertble coupe, I might be able to help you with some information on this car. I performed a complete restoration on my 39 convertible coupe about five years ago. No doubt there are others who can offer you some helpful info also. Tom Byrd

Dennis, you need to give us a link to your photos. See the instructions in the third topic in this Forum for instructions. The 38-39 Book is a good reference for originality.

Dennis,the items that you have mentioned are the only ones that should be woodgrained. You do need to buy the 38/39 Ford manual from the Early Ford V8 Club. It covers a great deal of the questions that you might have. That is a nice looking 39! Tom
