    Arizona was did a number on mine......but the Ontario humidity seems to have done more in the past few years than 30 + years in the baking sun ! I think I'll leave it like this for a while, don't matter if you get bugs on it ! :D

    Me and my brother found this '32 roadster body as is, in excellent shape with some old paint on it. The paint looked too cool to mess around with so we rubbed it out a little to try and get some of the shine back and built the rest of the car to match the body...

    Here's a couple of more pictures. We just took the car apart to give it a once over before we sold it. The winter's coming and I need to clear up some space so I can get started on my coupe. I'll take some more pictures for you guys after I have it all together.

    I'd like to see more pics of this, resembles my 37 slantback, but reminds me of a earlier vicky in the rear.
     
  28. I only have these two pics of the Matford. It has a Ford V860. Try google for more info.
