Been looking for one of these for years...... Made a roundtrip last weekend to pick it up. Gearing up for major build!!!

First three are while it was still in the grainery... Last three were after I gave it the first bath in years and cleaned out all the rat crap and seat batting.

 

while digging an '36 english ford prefect out of some ivy,, way down the back under much more of this dam vine i saw some yellow flame work. hmm me thinks,, what can this be ??? much digging ,and vine chopping later .. the junk arrived home....

Had to find this thread so I could retrieve some of my lost photos!

 

Great find keep us posted on the build

 

The '59 Apache was pretty complete when we brought it home. All that is left to finish is the bed.

 

On the trailer and headed home after picking it up.

BWhat the engine looked like before

Same engine after (early summer pic 2011 not yet running at that time, is now)

Front end pic from summer 2011.

Need to take some photos from the side I suppose.

 

Here is a T Coupe body that was layed out in the back yard and forgotten as the bushes nearly claimed it. Someone had started a chop...looks like an axe was used to make the cut. After I liberated it, is now "yard art", awaiting its new future life in my bramble-free back yard..

 

I'm glad this isn't a before and after thread because I may never see the "after".

Here's ours when I first laid eyes on it a few months ago. It had been parked in a garage for 20 years. It may be parked in my garage for 30 years, but as long as it sees progress and some occasional daylight I will be happy.

 

1st pic is before, 2nd and 3rd is now. Even though it looks like a lot hasn't been done, the car has been completely torn down, sandblasted, new metal fabricated, frame and suspension modified, new engine, etc, etc, etc.

 

Any more projects that you're proud of. We'd love to see them.Show us that prize. m.ralph

 

The day I bought her, and two months ago.

 

What I started with, and where I'm at now.

 

My Shoebox when I got it. All stock 43k original miles rust free car.

 

This is it now, lowered, rebuilt / hoped up motor, t-5 tranny. Next the chop!

 

Before and after.

 

This is in about june 2010 when I started on it I only had the body and this is in May of this year

 

1929 or 1930?

 

Rust free?!? In New York?? Was it garaged every night? That is amazing!

 

Here's my 32 ford pick up the day i picked it up and yestreday
