    I need another project like I need another hole in my head but I'm sure you guys know how it is.

    You see a car several years ago and all of a sudden you get a call from a guy you know that says,,Hey,you remember that Henry J you been trying to buy that the guy never wanted to sell?,,,Yeah,I remember it.

    Well I just bought it! and I hope you still want it because i thought of you and know you wanted it and I have too many projects!

    Too many projects,,Me too I told him but that doesn't stop guys like us,,we want everything we ever dreamed of.

    Long story short,,my friend Mike bought it Friday and tried to get in touch with me all weekend until we talked this morning,,within 2 hours I owned the car,,and for exactly what he paid for it and he even delivered it.

    While I was at his shop 2 different people came in inquiring about the car,,after he delivered the car to my shop he said someone else had ask about the car

    Do I need another car,,Heck no,,did I want it,,yeah and it even runs!:eek: HRP

    I'm already President of our local Hot Rod Club!:D and I don't have a clue as to what I'm gonna do with it yet.

    Yes Sir,I do have some great friends.

    Nope,,this one has been within 5 miles of my home for many years.

    I thought so,,

    They ARE indeed ugly,,but at the same time they are COOL!

    No Ken,but we might be able to get Racingman or BenD to bring it to you!

    Thank you sir.

    No chop,I'm too tall and besides,the only Henry J I ever saw reminded me of a Mustang II,,,real fugly!

    It's pretty solid with only a few slight issues.

    Thank you,,

    Yours was gray primer also?

    I have way too many projects and this car is going to have to wait it's turn,,I still have to finish ladyhrp's wagon and then there is the 5 window,,HRP

    Make it into a Ford powered G***er, paint it the same as the '54 wagon(tow rig) so they match and have a ball!

    Hang in there Smilin jack,,you'll find one someday!

    I never mentioned G***er,but I wont say I will not consider it.

    this car is surprisingly solid.

    Yeah,I will run but it's not a driver.

    Now that would be a cool combination!

    OCPD? HRP
