    Not much just driving it a bunch! She's pretty dialed in but the 6$ plus premium is killin me at 13ish mpg. I plan to sell junk out of it at this years LA roadster show! So if you're going, stop by and say hi. I think my space is yellow L7.


    I recently acquired another vehicle to make a surf wagon out of. Hope the kids don't get too sick in the back of it. Car is currently at Colin's house while storage containers block my garage and prevent me from really moving stuff in and out.

    plan with the panel is to slam it with juice brakes and then maybe swap over the rear gears to 3.54s. I think they're 411s now.

    Hoping to get it lowered with maroon Kelsey Hayes wires or 15" steelies. It needs to be dropped Atleast 2" to fit in my garage haha but that's not gonna be a problem.

    Then work on my coupe after the brake swap.

    Glad to hear you're enjoying the truck! Dang, the panel is sweet. You're getting an awesome collection of early Ford iron!

    Is the Phaeton turning into a Tudor?

    I sold it to my brother cheap and on layaway but gives me the opportunity to buy it back in the future. lol

    And Tim, will probably do a small build thread on the panel. But should be a relatively quicker and easier one.

    IMG_7532.jpeg Made it to LARS. My brother sat by the truck to sell stuff while I looked for stuff to waste money on. Handled traffic well no overheating in traffic. Real happy with it.

    Late to the party - this truck is perfect. Reminds me of the Sundance Express kit with closed cab option!
