    Well, I was supposed to buy a running, driving hot rod since I already have 2 projects. What is wrong with me? Then I ran across this beauty and couldn't resist. Bought it from a very nice man on the HAMB. Anyway here are some pics as found, then at Bobby's place, then in my garage. Now, I need to get my ass in gear. I am very happy and blessed. 20240311_143311.jpg 20240311_143703.jpg 20240210_152956.jpg 20240406_204851.jpg

    I would like to put a 327 in it. Haven't decided on a transmission yet. I do have all the fenders and will use them. And louvers, of course.

    That is sweet! Hope to come across one like that someday. Like the 327 idea.

    I can't believe no one has offered you help you out with this current problem.

    I'm not much of an old Ford guy, but I can see how much stress this is causing you. I'll take it off your hands so you won't have to carry the burden of having 3 projects.

    The price you paid that put you into this dangerous position is the cost of tuition you have to pay for this learning experience.

    I have to make arrangements to relieve you of this circumstance so I can house it here properly. When should I expect its arrival?

    With two projects I would say you are a little under average for this place. Lol

    Half the time when you buy a running and driving car they end up like that any way. Might as well just cut to the chase

  23. I’ve only been to Gilbert Arizona once, but I don’t remember that many trees, did that car come from away?
