Today is a Good day!!!!!!!!!! If not the best for the year.!

I have to share...

Lately, I have been truly helping out a few ex-friends w/ thier rides...body work and custom metal fab. Each time I got F#&$%&& up the rear so dry, it hurt. You try to do a great thing and it gets pissed away by greedy Mo-Fo's. I think all of the charma just came back!!!!!

As some of you know, I have been trying to sell the 55 Ford Mild Custom in my garage.

I decided to go out on a limb this week and pull an 'Old Car Trader' magazine and make a few calls on some prospective cars.

If some of you remember, i have been wanting a good Pre-war coupe project...since way back. I got a 41 Coupe, (my beloved dream car) from Ebay, and it turned out to be a Rusty Nightmare/Rip off. Bummed as I was I tried to continue w/ what I had (thus a chopped 50 Ford) and make the best of it.

I got a call out of the blue and a guy, who has a 41 Ford Super Deluxe Opera Coupe was willing to check out my car for a possible deal...well long story short...he wants to deal, and I got another 41' coupe on the way.

This baby is complete, original, COMPLETELY rust free. It has a good running/rebuilt 59AB w/ stock trans and rear. The whole undercarriage is done...and I mean painted, new bushing, new gas tank. New NOS wires are in the car, The dash is complete down to the radio. It runs and drives. The funny thing, the guy was upset because the 41 was (to him) loud as hell and would not drive it much...just tinker and fix things as time progressed. I drove out to look at it, and looked under the car (to expect to see rusty crap) and it was a beautifully cleaned, black undercarriage. If I was on a showroom floor, I would thought I was in a 1941 Ford dealership to buy a new coupe. By the way, the exhaust was brand new...cut off under the seat w/ 12" smittys on the end. It sounds bitchen, and im jumping for joy.

I though I would share...bon voyage to the 55...she is great in every way, runs well like a stallion...she will be missed...


BUT NOT THAT MUCH!!!

Ill post picts when I get the car.

 

Lucky dog! I'm sure that '41 will stay stock wont it? You wouldnt want to ruin it by turning it into one of those damn hot rods would you?

 

awsome norm i am glad you finally got your car

I would be a liar if I said I was.

Im going to build it like the one Barris did for Snooky back in 51'. Not right away, but eventually.

Thanks Slazz!!! for the comment.

Farewell Chopped50Ford, i'll miss You and wellcome Chopped41Ford...

 

good thing you didn't tell the guy about that newfangled insulation or soundproofing stuff,he would've kept it then

 

What goes around comes around. You've helped out others. The may have treated you helping them the wrong. But I believe in the big scheme of things, good things always comes to those who waits. The world really does work in mysterious ways. Congrats on the coupe. gGoff aka Whodaky

I agree, I believe that what goes around.......comes around. I have done good deeds only to be shafted more times than I care to count and sometimes get a little down.................then out of nowhere...............the good comes HOME.......

Congrats on your 41....they are neat rides...

 

Sound like the score just got evened up in your favor. It's a good feeling when things just go right, kinda like a warm sunny morning to start the day. Congrats on the new ride.
