    Guys I've seen a few examples of Fords turned into almost Euro looking sportscars. You know the kind, long hood, cut down doors, and bobbed tails. Any of you ever done one? Have any pics to share? Here's a factory built job called the Ford Vega to get things started......

  5. That's Edsel's Model 40 Speedster- Bill Warner found it in FL a few years back. It's based on a 33 frame, designed by Bob Gregory, and built by the workers at Ford's airline division (they weren't very busy, since America was in the midst of a depression). There's a good article on it in TRJ 23. It's an absolutely beautiful car- any more pics of it would be GREATLY appreciated!
