    Yes, the barn had a cement floor. I think the car had only been in that barn about 10 years or so with the amount of dust that had accumulated on it.

    Yes. And spread out all the pieces that came with it for a group shot.
    If you need inspiration for a build, check out Jim Jacob's yellow 3 window.

    If you go closer to the car, you can take detail shots!

    That's what we want!

    Close ups!

    Don't worry, there are no plans to chop this one. Keep the body stock with a hopped up flathead is what I have in mind.

    Yep, too many right now, so I think the chopped one will have to go out the door soon.

    Some more photos showing the fenders, hood, grille, running boards, bench seat. gas tank cover and bumpers. All of these parts were off the car and store separately when I got them. Most of it is in decent shape, the fenders need some work, but they all do....

    This is a rumble seat model, but I will turn it into a trunk and sell the rumble seat stuff to a restorer...

    I am green with envy.

    I don't know why Henry Ford ever made another body style after he made the 33-34 3 window coupe. Every bit about these cars does it for me...they are perfect...full fendered or fenderless...but always unchopped. Congrats on the score.

    I can't tell you how excited I am for ya!!! Seeing this thing's details makes me super stoked that everything is there and in great shape!!! I love it!!!

    I have a rumble seat in my 35 and every time I think it's a pain in the ass I think about my kids eventually going for a spin back there. My 33 has a truck so I guess we're gonna have to squeeze in tight in that one haha!!!

    The front part of the floor had been cut out at some point, should be an easy fix ....
