Hamb asks for a start out post so here it is- My first old Ford was 1970s hot rod, a '36 coupe. During that time the car had a '48 flathead, Weiand heads and manifold, 15" steelies, tuck/roll upholstery, and black lacquer paint. One photo below is from the early days. The latest is a '34 half ton pickup truck which is pretty toned down, ha!- but still has a later model flathead ('36 LB), higher performance wheels (16" wire spoke), and a dual ratio rear axle (for those jackrabbit starts). Over the years I have enjoyed working on, and most of all driving the old Fords. Current project.
Nomad, thanks I am in central Mn a little north of St. Cloud. I usually attend the Back to the 50s Meet so if the show is held next summer will keep an eye out for your '59 Chev.
