    Everyone talks about their barn finds here's mine. This was just pulled out of a North Dakota farm shed Sat. May 20 after who knows how many years. I was told the 60 year old nephew of the then owner remembers helping his uncle put it in there when he was a kid. I thought I'd get pictures of it still in the shed but the guy had it out already knowing I was coming for it that morning. I had seen pictures of it in there and it was really stuck in a corner and blocked in by a truck and other stuff. It had a bunch of old farm implement junk and a couple inches of dirt and what not in the trunk. To my surprise as well as his the motor even rolls over

    Great score! I've been looking for a 26-27 roadster body for a while. Congrats it looks solid.
     
  3. Awesome score, not bad for a 90 year old. The perfect foundation for a 'Gow Job'.

    Looks like someone already put a model A intake and exhaust on it.

    I like the fenders and running boards, they are often discarded but I think they look good on a 27. What are your plans for it?
