    Yes that is correct a 57,000 original mile 34 Ford, from the rut belt. It belongs to a fellow in my hometown that bought it in 1958. Here is the best part he bought it from his uncle that got it new in 34! Its been in storage all these years and has been painted once in the 70's. The only change that he has made to the car is it has been converted to 12volt in the 70's. He "got tired of it not starting" It runs like a top with no troubles. The only rust I had to replace was a 14inch long by 1inch tall strip on the drivers side rocker. I'm going to have the car for a few days so if anyone needs measurements/pictures of an "the way it was" 1934 P.m me. and I will do my best to get them for you.:D More pics coming...

    No its not for sale....I tried...get in line. all the wood is original and not dry rotted. The doors shut and latch like new. Simply amazing.:eek: I'm actually looking forward to sanding this one. The plan is to go back to black, this car is going to be sharp.

    Sorry some of these are a little dark. I was kind of in a hurry,I'm on a tight deadline on this one. He's a farmer and would like to have the car back before he hits the fields. The grill of the car doesn't even have one bent fin, not one ding.

    What did you use to strip the paint? It looks like a really clean job.

    The body has been soda blasted by a friend and fellow HAMBER, OlMarty. It does a great job.

    I stand in awe of it every time I open my door. I will post progress pictures when I'm done. And as a teaser..........he has a 37 Ford 2 door slant back that is just as nice.

    I wish I saw cool things like that at my work. I think it is cool that it is being kept somewhat original and I rarely say that.
