    I've had this one since 1996.
    Its been titeled and registered off and on since then.
    This photo was taken at the Blessing of The Cars in 2004, if my brain is working correctly. Could have been 2005 though.:confused:
    Oh, by the way, it was a barn find too. It was pulled out of the barn after 35+ years.

    I've had my 53 Ford 4dr for 35 years. Customized it in 1985. Redid it in 1989. It is white with red flames, shaved hood, trunk, doors, rounded hood corners, 55 Pontiac front and rear bumpers, skirts and widewhites. I'm not very good with computers so as soon as I can get some help I'll put pictures up.

    I have had my 51 for about 6 years now. My buddy had it for about 4 years before that, and his brother had it for several years before that. It was restored to original in the mid 80's. Then my buddy ruined it, and I have been making a custom out of it since I have had it.

    Here's my 1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe that I've owned for more than 20 years. It was a original two owner car when I bought it in 1989. I drove it as a stocker for two years than took it apart and rebuilt it,took me about five years. I did everything but the paint. I always tell people "It still feels like Christmas morning when I was a kid everytime I open the garage!". The last two photos are from the photoshop thread on here. I asked to see the car lowered a bit with wide whites and red rims,Thanks James D Mel:D

    Not a barn find but a museum find. Auther Bright's Pioneer Museum, Le Grand, Ca. 35 Ford coupe with 49 Cad 331, dual Eldorado quads on a Nicson manifold, Ford 3 speed, and (scarry as shit) mechanical brakes. Bought it to have fun with while I built my 40. 25 years later, 40 still not done. 3 trans later, the 35 is still in the game!
