    Hello from WI-

    My father recently passed and the good out of it is I inherited his '32 Ford. He bought it shortly out of high school in 1962 for $250. Was in rough shape and embarrassed to drive it home he always told me. He has chipped away on it over the years, and I did gain good knowledge working with him (rebuilt carb and added a fuel pressure regulator recently), but work and raising a family filled much of my time over the years. I have a lot of questions so I am happy this site exists! :)

    Welcome from Colorado
    I have my dad’s Corvette every time I drive it I can feel him in the passenger seat.
    I’m sure you will feel it also with your pops.

    Welcome to the H.A.M.B. UNIVERSE from Dennis in Seattle.
    That is a great looking hot rod, and the Clay Smith woodpecker, (Mr. Horsepower) looks right at home where your dad placed it!

    I love your '34 Ford. That's the one model that my dad and I always said we'd trade the '32 for.
