    It's magic! That little princess turned into a Beautiful grown up princess and the magic part, that rotten looking old 40 Std. Tudor became a beautiful 40 DeLuxe Tudor.

    Nice photos and great story.

    This is what started me on a Model A build in 1990. Took eight years to collect the rest of the parts.

    Good Bones- but by my design or default , I've had to rebuild, have rebuilt every component or system.
    Which is GOOD.
    Now the truck has it's own pedigree, & build list from it's 'rebirth'.
    Just keeps getting better, which leaves the smile wider!

    traded 5 days labor framing & rocking a hallway and double closet for the mess in this womans garage. drug it home in 3 truckloads. 1 year in my mancave and its now a truck.
    i invited her to see it at a local car show when she showed up she broke down in tears. her husband died after nine tears of playing with it. it overwhelmed her to see it done. i kinda backed off and let her have some time with it. Wow what a humbling feeling

    Ok I have one to share, this poor little Falcon Sprint came to me on 13" steel wheels and sitting up like a grocery cart.....


    I pulled the rusty coils n shocks and set it up properly on Shockwaves and AirOverLeaf, then finished it off on some American Racing Salt Flats....

    It's true - you really have to take the before and after pictures.... I usually forget to do that, but I do have some before and after of this Thunderbird seat that's about ready to go back into the '56....

    Someone had recovered it in all white who knows when, but I was after a more stock looking interior so I got new covers and seat foam for it... worked w/ Bell Trim here in Plano, TX and did it up right... came out ok!

  30. funny thing is there are some idiots out there that would scrap some of these cars from their before pictures and we'd never get to see these amazing after pictures...far too many cars getting scrapped in my area

    but these all look great, keep up the good work guys/gals!
