    Looks great!! I like what you did to stiffen the rear body piece.

    Oh and please tell that jerk in your last photo to leave my car alone!

    Since you couldn't work on it the last couple days, I went down to the bus station and asked a couple miscreants if they wanted to do it and they obliged. Wait until you see what they got done today! Hahaha

  3. By definition, a roadster has the windshield separate from the cowl, as well as no roll up side windows. Technically a car, or pick up, with no roll up windows, but a windshield interagal to the cowl, would be a cross between a roadster and a cabrolet. I would love to see a pic of an Oz '40 "roadster" pick up.

    I worked at a restoration shop several years ago, the owner now lives in Argentina exporting old cars stateside. Calls me when customers here back out of a deal on something, always has alot of interesting old Fords.

    Very cool article...thank you. Actually I just purchased a 1938 Ford of Argentina Club Coupe Cabriolet that is right hand drive. Thanks for a little more background on how that situation came about. Attached is a picture of mine...

  8. Great history lesson, but after five years, I'd be thinking this got finished.
    I'll bet it's not just me that would like to see some pics......
    Please?
