Topic: Sun visors

  I bought a 1939 delux sedan had the headliner installed but not the visors. Can anyone send me a picture that shows where they are located? I cannot find any backing under the headliner. Thanks

  Good afternoon, Scruffy--

Here is a photo of my 40 Deluxe Sedan, showing the sun visors. There should be a raised boss or attachment point for the visor brackets underneath the headliner, just as the top corners of the windshield garnish moldings start to curve toward the center. See if you can feel these areas through the headliner in those approximate areas of the roof interior. You may have to loosen the front edge of the headliner and look above the headliner to locate them.

If any of my fellow Club members have photos of an actual sun visor installation in a 39 Sedan, rather than a 40, I'm sure they will share with you.

You might look at the blue section of your screen, click on Online Store, and follow the link to Ford Books. The Club puts out an excellent 38-39 Book - well worth the cost. If you restore your Sedan, I know you will need it.

Good luck.

Tom

  Use pipes smaller than 1 3/4" to allow the pipe to go through the frame on the left side. The smaller pipes will allow the pipe to go through the frame and not interfere with the operation of the clutch. An added benefit is that the smaller pipes reduce the "drone" of Smittys.

  Once again, my all-knowing, experienced Club members have stepped up to the plate with great info for you.

My 40 is a totally stock restoration, so I couldn't help you with the duals.

Thanks, Paul and Tom, for your assistance.

Tom
