    Hi

    My Name is Robert Bullard I come from Cambridge Ont. just west of Toronto.

    A couple of weeks ago I bought a 30 ford sedan project without the slightest idea of how I was going to get this car rolling.

    here is what i've got

    30 Ford Frame and IFS separated from car.
    a 4 inch chop 30 sedan with great steel.
    suicided doors
    roof welded
    No holes, some surface rust
    No dash
    Radiator shroud no grill
    Head lights and light bar
    Original steel running boards
    Fiberglas fenders front and rear
    Window tracks
    WIndow cranks
    Door handles
    BUmpers...I think
    A wiring harness type not known.
    Disc brakesfront... and 8 inch drums for back
    No interior
    windsheild frame w/gl***

    I have a feeling the frame and suspension needs complete breakdown and rebuild. At the very least new cross memebers and a lot of clean up.

    Here she is..

    note the fenders lights and light bar stored in the rear

    Didn't mention that I have to add 8 feet to the garage, then get 220 out to it, and replace the leaky roof...

    Just got my 80 gallon compressor last week...hmmm didnn't mention that once I got it home found out it was 575 not 220.....

    hmmm didnt mention the idiot town inspector wants a 3 foot deep trench with stone for the 220 conduit......other than that Mrs. Lincoln how did you enjoy the play???

    Off to a great start.

    I love how those inspectors act, too. They say something like,"I'm from the government and I'm here to help." Well by all means, mr. inspector, grab a shovel and dig that ditch your talking about! Good luck with those guys. Just take it in stride as I have learned they can make your life miserable!!!
