Old cars always play a huge role at the SEMA Show (http://www.autoblog.com/sema/) each year, and fans of the iconic 1940 Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) Coupe should pay extra attention. The car that needs only be referred to as the '40 Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/1940%20ford/) will be offered in a complete steel body shell from Ford Restoration Parts (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ford%20restoration%20parts/) using the latest welding and rustproofing technologies.
Pricing for the complete body shell will start at $11,990, and it comes with a choice of firewall options for those building a car with an original flathead V8 or more of a custom build with a bigger, more modern engine that requires a modified firewall. Of course individual body parts can also be purchased, but all of the new parts are sold exclusively through Dennis Carpenter Ford Restoration Parts. To show off this new body, Ford will have a customized '40 Ford at SEMA with a 5.0-liter V8 under the hood, a chopped roof and we're assuming quite a few other modifications.
Ford Restoration Parts just recently expanded its body-in-white offerings to include 1965 through 1967 Mustang Convertibles (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/16/ford-wants-you-to-give-the-gift-of-some-assembly-required-for/), but it also offers full bodies for the 1965 to 1970 Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang/) coupe, the first-generation Bronco (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ford%20bronco/) and more than 9,000 other officially licensed reproduction parts (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/07/ford-now-offering-over-9-000-official-reproduction-parts-for-res/).
