A survivor that I missed once by 10 minutes came home with me Fathers Day weekend

Very cool...

Man, would I love to have Ron's yard art.
I mean, a plane in your yard, how cool would that be!

Great story, great car.

 

Great story and even greater that he sold it to you instead of some ass that would put a chevy in it.................... now you are stuck with the disease of Flatomania..................

 

Great story, gotta say it's the longest story I have taken time to read here. Had to do it for a home town story. Hope to see it at Back to the Fifties next month.

 

That's a great story and one nifty car. Glad to see that got it's self a deserving keeper.

Cool story. Really cool car. Drive the hell out of that thing, it's perfect as is!

I love the shot of the fuselage surrounded by PNW pine trees.

My '39, though not as nice, had a similar past and long slumber, until I stumbled upon it in Bellingham. It's great hearing the stories of these old survivors.

 

Congrats!

 

thank you for the great story.. and pictures.... I cant imagine how many smiles you both had driving home.... every time you looked out the mirror and saw her..lol... enjoy

So kool

Good on you son. Now drive it over to Bob Drakes . Heh heh he Like Mr40 sez damn right in my back yard. Been by that airport a few times too. Best take care of that woman too as she is a keeper.

Awesome story, Great car!!!
You gotta hate that rollercoaster of emotions
not knowing if you will get the deal or not.
Congrats!

 

Great read....Congrats!!!

 

Cool story, Awesome 35 survivor. I'll have to check the Painted Hills out sometime. That DC3 pic is rad!

 

THAT car has gone to the right guy !

 

Great read and well done on the car

 

almost stopped reading a couple times but glad i finished the story.

 

Enjoyed the story.....nice car too

 

Thanks for sharing and congrats!!!

 

Cool

 

Wow! What a story! You had me on the edge of my seat. Amazing car. It definitely went to the right guy and was saved from becoming an independent front suspended street rod. What a shame that would have been. The hot rod Gods are happy and all is right with the world.

 

Great story! Two keepers, the girl and the car! Lucky dog!

 

Epic story and car!!


I'll be over in the morning to pick it up!!

 

Great story! Congratulations on the car, it's a beauty.


Side note on your hot start problem. A lot of time it's the coil. It gets hot then craps out. Wait a while then it starts. Repeat! Don't know what your doing with the car but if you want to run it around for a season get a new coil (and condenser - napa: Echlin IH-200) or a rebuilt coil from skip http://www.fordcollector.com/coils.htm.

 

Great story!!!! Greater find!!!!

 

Congrats! Awesome story ! Car looks sweet
