Guys, I few people have asked that I post up a video of the coupe I pulled out of barn in Montana last fall. It did look like this when I got it, but here it now. I had to do some work on it and Bert's Model A got it running like a champ. It is amazing how well built early Fords are. This car sat with no front sheet metal or carb for 50+ years in barn and shifts, stops and runs pretty good. Here are the pictures of the trip home with it below and here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNYjAbv3o4Y The enjoy the gurgle of a flat four motor! Tex
I love the truck bed conversions. That's traditional hot rodding!! Enjoy it, there's nothing quite like a banger powered A!
Sweet! I'd be tempted to keep the bed until the rest of the body was all finished and had all the parts to fix, just before paint.
If I get to keep it I will leave it as is.......Unfortunately it is in the cl***ified ads and has alot of interest. It is definately unique with the bed and very well done for the '40's. I have seen many of these conversions that were total hack jobs done with a chisel and hammer and box of screws by some farmer.
