    The beginnings of my 53 and my 40. Bought the 53 because I had sold my 40 tudor and could not find a 40 coupe to start on, so I bought the F100. Then no sooner than I do that I find the coupe and could not pass it up.

    glad to see you all do it the opposite of me. I usually start then with a running car and then end up with a shell and bunch of parts when I get to the now stage and no money to put them back together. :)
