    Just a normal cruise in DF and you bet you can always see some new stuff around sittin in the streets...mind you,nowadays there is a govermental program against not registed cars layin around...they tow em away pretty quick! And to go find em in the police car corral is a game too...it cost some good bucks to take it out too...
    That's why there are not many old cars sittin abandoned in DF anymore,at list not like 5 and more years ago...10 years ago this place was almost an open space junkyard!!

    Well,looks like that in Mexico there are many more 3w Fords than 5w,at list according to my hunting experience...cool,but strange!!Anyway, this 36 has been fully restored in stock form...lovely lines as usual...such cars are timeless and to me they will look even better in 20 years..Actually im workin on couple others,still sittin and waitin to be rescued!!

    Jeeze Sled, you really find the cool shit don't you!

    Just out of curiosity, how far have you shipped cars before?You must have had some overseas customers I would think.
