Update: the car is running. I've been wrenching on the car a lot the last couple weeks. Bumpers are on, new fuel lines tank to carbs, new spark...

If anyone has seen this car, I want it back. I sold it a decade ago on eBay, I have no idea where it landed.
I see you have a roadster as well. My other car is a ‘29 roadster. How random. “30s Fords” are the best!
Those are gaps from a salty life in Minnesota.
I used that engine hoist to remove the body from the frame. It was immediately mounted on a body rotisserie. I have since acquired a two post...
:D Spoken like a true federal employee.
Motivation is high!
Tonight I put the frame on the hoist. I’ll just chip away at the rot little by little. I learned that the car was originally 90hp, that’s kind of...
HAMBers, here's the progress. I wish I was on here more like I was in the 2000s... Anyway, body is off, frame is blasted, new floor and rockers...
I am! And I’m not even an FNG. I will definitely let you know. Thanks, man.
Motivation was high that day.
Success! Off to Flathead Jack's...[ATTACH]
The dog and I made a burger run earlier this week. The weather has been perfect lately in Wisconsin.[ATTACH]
Ugh, preach.
These are from the listing last year, nothing has changed. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Ha! Sorry, brother. I’m not on the HAMB like I was prior to my Facebook addiction.
I recently acquired another bucket list vehicle, a 1939 two-door sedan. It's alleged to be a former Minnesota State Patrol vehicle but I'm not...
New header doesn’t clear this gearbox. Any thoughts on an efficient solution? Relocate? Replace?
Yeah, I’ll definitely grab some interior shots when I’m around. It’s old chill tuck and roll. Bias ply tires will be killer.
I’m looking for ID information on this steering arrangement. What is it, and what has your experience been with it? Excuse the moisture. It’s...
I really like the original grill as well. If I had it I could run it and the hood top which I really like.
I wondered if it had something to do with the fact the exhaust pipe attaches to the manifold up front. Maybe the heavier bolts are for exhaust...
Ugh, it houses a hideous GM alternator, for now.
Yeah, I purchased shorter bolts as the manifold bolts bottomed-out before contacting the header flange. Plus, new stainless just looks better....
Thanks! I've gone through a lot of less-than interesting vehicles to finally get something I'm excited about wrenching on and driving.
I need to shorten the rear header bolts but otherwise it’s coming along nicely. All threads chased before headers went on. Anyone else come across...
Aluminum, chrome, and stainless has all been cleaned. Carburetors have both been rebuilt and installed. I plan to eventually clean up the...
Thanks, Brady, but if that coupe in your avatar is yours, there's no jealousy to be had.
