Default New Member from Minnesota

Hello everyone.
I am a new Ford Barn member from Minnesota and thought I'd stop by and introduce myself.
My name is Todd and I own a 48 Ford Coupe. I am the second owner and it is currently under restoration.
It is not perfect so I am always looking for parts.
If you or a friend might have some 46-47-48 parts, feel free to pass on my information. I REALLY NEED A PAIR OF GOOD REAR FENDERS This is a great website and I'm looking forward to browsing it a bit more and meeting more of you guys.
Are there any other Minnesota guys out there?
Have a great day,
Todd

Welcome from a fellow Minnesotan! If you live close to Mpls./St. Paul you should look into the Twin Cities Regional Group of the Early Ford V8 Club of America. Lots of restoration expertise and fun activities with that group as well as with the national group.

Todd,
Welcome from another displaced Minnesoootan. You'll get a lot of great information on the Barn. I don't have a lot of flathead experience and it's been a tremendous resource for me.

Welcome aboard Todd! I think you will enjoy hanging out on this site.

I just lost an old air force buddy from Detroit Lakes Minnesota in the last couple of weeks. Thankfully we have our air force reunions every year.

Welcome Todd, 48 coupes are the best. The guys here will help you with any questions you have. My coupe is currently in the shop for a valve job and new clutch. Hope to be back on the road soon.
