1941ford

 

4 sheets of .063 aluminum, 300 feet of 1.5 tubing and a fulll bottle of argon....

 

Bought a cut up 1928 model A closed car cowl, and said i was going to build a car. Then things changed and i seen the prices of A tin, this was about two years ago, and used a T. didnt even use what i started with.

 

I started with a nice solid body. Worked on it about every day (with a lot of help from a friend) this past winter and drove it 7 months later.

this started because my grand father had one and my dad has his fathers 46 chevy truck.

i bought this for $300 and wanted it for about 17 yeaRS and the man did not want to sell it to me and it sat in the woods and a big hill since 1959 . i bought it in 2001 and it took about all day to roll it down the hill it was on and their was just enough room to get it thur and it was on flat tires. i had to take a comea long and go from tree to tree pulling it with my dad helping me in 100 degree heat . i was the only person wanting it.
it now is on a 1977 chevy 1/2 ton and has a 350 chevy and 400 tubro trans and posi rear end .thanks
