    There used to be a shoebox around Wisconsin that had a hubcap in the grille like that too. Neat car.

    Man, I love '49/'50 Ford coupes. And as much as I love customs, those coupes don't need anything more than a nice stance and a neat motor (hopped up flathead, early hemi, etc.) to be perfect. Nice score...

    Thank`s guys:)!

    Mrs. Fenderless is sooo happy:D!
    We got to fire it up this afternoon, after it had been for deiceing storage overnight. Then Hauled it to our home garage.
    O yes this is another project, got to finish the FED, change rear end on the Modell A, then start changing sheetmetal on the Box.
    Need to make a wishlist to EMS or Mac!!!??.

    Strange to think that my first car, that i bought when i was 18 year old, was a 49 Ford coupe:D! Drove it for 13 years, actually met my wife when i had it:)!
    A bad picture of it here, but i was a really clean car withe a helthy
    276 cid Flathead, with a lot of goodies.

    Thank`s for the good feedback:)!

    It doesn`t stopp here, just to cover our needs, i bought another 49 Coupe
    here in Norway:D! This car is not that nice, but i supose i can use some parts, or..........maybe a gasser 49:eek:!

    Now its time to try to find some cool parts for the mrs. So i ducked in some old boxes and look what i found, really cool NOS speakers:)
