Just got back from M***. picked up my wifes new car. 51 Ford, flatty powered, 3 speed. Sorry for the ****ty pics, its ****ty and pouring out, so, better pics tomorrow...
Nice shoebox! What did yer wife do to deserve that? Uh...nevermind. Looks like most of the work is already done. You plan on doing anything else to it? What is that grill from?
Theres actually nothing to do, it was a frame off restoration that was finished in 05. The grille is a corvette.
Heres some better pictures...And, its nosed, decked, shaved handles, buick port holes in the hood, corvette grille, frenched headlights and tail lights, tons of striping,
I dont know Ed, but heres the history as I know it; It was bought by a guy in Conneticut that goes by "Buggs", he bought it from New Mexico. "Buggs" did a frame off resto that started in 1995 and was completed in 01, it was restored back to bone stock. "Buggs" didnt really like it stock, so in 02 or 03 he re-did the car to its current state. He traded it for a 41 Ford to the guy I bought it from, Gene, in Pittsfield M***. in June of this year. I saw it on ebay, made an offer and picked it up yesturday.
And all I was going to get my wife was a box of chocolates. As soon as my wife sees this I'm screwed! Thanks man. BTW nice car.
