    I never thought I would sell my 32 sedan. My wife and I drove to Texas from Tucson while we were still dating to get the body. She didn't say anything when we first looked at it but i'm sure she thought I was crazy. Well a marriage, kids and a pending move later the sedan is gone. It really didn't hit me until it was being loaded in the transport it was really going. The good news is it is going to a good home on the East coast. Brian, the new owner is a great guy and will treat the car well. Now, time to get that roadster finished.

    looks that that little guy on the front seat will be a great project and will keep you busy for a few years,

    let's just hope that some day he will speak those magic words that we would all like to hear. "dad can we buy a car to fix up together" i've been waiting for 16 years to hear that.. so far nothing, but i know my day will come.

    Ya he still has his. He has the same problem though. He isn't as crazy as I am so I doubt he will be selling it.

    Thank You. Yes he is. I even think I heard him giggle a time or two when we were talking on the phone.

    I know, but the time had come. It was a great car, but not as good as the next one.

    When I sold my baby in '85 I had 3 little kids a mortgage and more bills than income. When I did it I wrote down every rational reason for selling the car. That was the one my wife of 35 years helped me build, went to swap meets to find parts, and we parked in dark lanes. I've since been blessed with grandchildren and many more cars , but I still miss the one that got away.

    I sold my '32 Tudor to Flatoz's dad Down Under a early last summer. Once and a while I see a pic of it on the Hamb. It kinda hurts a little - but its nice to see it in good hands.

    Anyway - I feel your pain brotha.

    Hey Mike, she looks safe and sound on the truck. No word from them yet but I'll bet sometime this week, I'll keep in touch. Thanks again she is truly my dream car and I will enjoy the hell out of every cruising minute. Brian

    When I built my sedan I knew that some day my baby would have to go. I'm not there yet. I just can't imagine not having it. I gave up my F-100 to finance my deuce and I told my wife that if we ever win the lottery I'm buying back the F-100 no matter what it costs. Its happy in California but would be happier back in Oklahoma. My deuce as a backdrop for a wedding.
