    Well my Wanted Man 34 is done and I had no winter project . I have a buddy that aquired a car, although he apreciates cars he is not into working on them. I offered that I would check it out to see if it looked feasible to rebuild it for him. We were not sure if we were going to Streetrod/ Custom it or put it back to stock. After seeing how amazingley clean and complete it is I'm going to return it to stock it looks like.

    The car is a 1930 that someone started to restore about 15 years ago and it has been sitting since. Everything looks to be there and in great shape including a bunch of parts that are in Ford boxes. Maybe not a barnfind but for sure a garage find.

    Wish me luck!

    John, yeah, I'd say it's pretty nice! And the wall matches the wheels too.:p:D

    Thanks Lippy, I said if the car didn't match the garage I wouldn't do it. :)

    Here is the 34:

    Its an old Lenco blower. It is a boost monster!

    There was actualy two of the model A's. Both of them equally as clean and complete. If this rebuild goes well the guy said he would let me do what I wanted to the other. My mind has been going crazy with ideas.
