Hiya guys!
I'm the new guy, Michael Jackson but please call me "Mike" for obvious reasons. Believe me I have heard them all!
Anyway, I am currently restoring a '46 Ford coupe that I found rusting in peace in Montana.............. All the body work is finally done and now I am preparing the finish for primer. The original flathead runs like a sewing machine but I had thoughts about hanging a '69 Ford 302 with a flywheel adaptor and use the stock drive train but I abandoned that idea. Right now I'm keeping the stock flatty and trying to build a few more horses.
When I'm not wrenching on the '46 I am at the Quonset Air Museum, Rhode Island wrenching on old War Birds.www.theqam.org My current project is turning an A-4F Skyhawk into a Blue Angel and dedicating it to a Lt. Cmdr Michael Gershon who died in a Blue Angel Air Show in Niagara Falls July 13, 1985.
I'll be posting pics as soon as my camers is back from the shop.
Nice meeting all of you, drop me a line... fordy6@cox.net
