Fixing hidden old repairs/damage

1932 Ford

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black

Over 3 1/2 years ago I sold him my 1929 Tudor on a swept front chassis.
283 I bought from Vern. Really nice original 1940 Ford wheels.

Here it is !  No chop No Channel, great job finishing the Tudor bud !

Jeff's T coupe, update

Little picture study of chopping down a Model A grill shell

Keep in mind he has a Model T and has channeled the body over the frame
(so most wouldn't be as short)

Tires and wheels on Paul's truck.
Little VW fronts and taller and not too wide rears.
Good alternative to the expensive repop type tires.

Bud's "Speedy T"

Bud has some great early Fords
Now he is building one without the restrictions in design like a resto project has
Sweet built Model A banger with a Winfield head
A 1926-7 cowl, and the rest is his own design

The frame we did as a design study, and I traded it to him awhile ago.
It's really looking good. Body is getting tuned up now.
Should see it out and about next year.

chassis all painted and plumbed

cool roadster / race car look to it

early turtle deck pieces keep the Ford look alive in the body design

I can see this slinging dirt at the drags here in Colorado
