    I just stumbled across this 32 sedan less than a mile away from my house.
    I looked at it yesterday with a couple of buddies. I laid awake all night trying to figure out how to do the deal.

    I thought I had scoured this countryside clean but alas......I present to you my new 32 V8 Fordoor with juice brakes, an aluminum 3 97 intake, a set of 21 stud Cyclone heads, a buttload of spare parts.
    The dude was a resto guy and he died in 93. This thing has been apart long before that. The sheetmetal is rust free and pretty much dent free. I think I may try and get it running to have something to tool around in. I'm not a big patina guy but ......maybe this time.

    That's just about exactly what the guys pulled home in the fifties...for 25 bucks.:D It's piece of cake when you start with one that complete and that solid. You're a lucky stiff. Have fun makin' believe it's 1951 again.

    Congrats Root! Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy. You got good karma bro.

    Are still going to the Roundup now? When do you think you will have it put together? Would be cool to see it at the HAMB Drags.
