Manufactured by Mr.40's, our TRUNKLIFT KITS replace all manor of stay-up poles and worn-out stock hardware. TRUNKLIFTS will raise most trunklids after the latch is released, and then hold it in the highest possible position until you are ready to close it. Most kits are engineered to use the available stock holes with very little installation time required. All TRUNKLIFTS contain extension force gas struts designed to fit each application, custom made brackets, stainless steel Allen-Head hardware, ballstuds with nylocks and illustrated instructions. Some kits contain AVK industrial nutserts with stainless steel hardware for one-side surface mounting. CHEVY / GM / WILLYS TRUNKLIFT APPLICATIONS Other custom kits available, call for details.

Our 18 gauge aluminum, steel or stainless steel over-the-grill shrouds perform double duty on 1940 Fords and '39 Deluxe Fords by hiding the clutter, plus help direct incoming air through the radiator and not over it. Grille shrouds help your '40 run cooler, and make your engine compartment look a whole lot better with the hood up. Comes undrilled so mounting method can be of your choice. Available with hole cut out for stock latch assembly or solid for mounting an aftermarket latch or as a pass-thru piece. Aluminum, steel, or stainless steel for either Standard or Deluxe Grill Models.

We made 'em look cool... and that's the job they do by allowing the engine heat to exit and your ride to run cooler. Functional 3" Louvers are arranged so they actually scavenge the hot air out past the fender wells. Laser-cut out of heavy 16 gauge steel these panels will put strength back in your Fords front clip. These flat-style panels have all the right curves as well as oval-shaped mounting holes to make hanging and adjusting your front clip a little easier. Sale price is for pairs only. Mr.40's logo is laser-cut in each panel for copyright reasons.

Fender Panel Mounting Bracket Kits
Removing the stock front yoke on your Ford means stabalizing the front clip in other ways. These 1/8" thick steel bracket kits allow you to mount fender panels to adjacent frame rail for added front support and vibration reduction. All kits come with USA made stainless steel button head Allen bolts and Nylocks.

Eliminate those ugly stock bolt sets with these USA made stainless steel button head allen bolts and nylock nut kits. Our kits attach the 40 Ford front fenders/grill/inner panels together, with separate kits for running boards and rear fenders.

Finally a battery location that is out-of-sight, close to the motor and easily accessible. The unused space tucked into the right side fender is perfect for our newest battery boxes. We know they work on '35 to '48 Ford frames cause we've run 'em there for years. They'll probably work in lots of other fat fendered cars too!

This kit is designed to allow use of your cowl vent when the handle space has been consumed by A/C, stereo & other underdash intrusions. Designed to bolt-in to most any cowl, the kit comes with firewall mounting bracket attached, (2) cowl vent control brackets, 12 volt US made motor, gear drive, stainless steel hardware, wiring, momentary pushbutton switch and illustrated instructions. Motor stops at any desired height and closes to seal as tight as originally set-up. Do yourself a "FRESH-AIR-FAVOR."

We don't have a clue what Henry called them...we do know most everybody with our V-Butted windshields needs to cover the gap in the garnish molding where it comes together in the center above the dash. We tooled up and reproduced the part that came originally on '40 pickups at the top of the windshield. Removing the center divider bar leaves a big ugly hole and now you can cover it up.
