The Ford Barn

Went to the Secretary of State today, set there of one and a half hours to get a historical plate for my speedster, as it was I was issued a temporary paper plate. I went home and glued it onto a thin piece of paneling and mounted it. The temperature today was fifty degrees but I just had to go for a ride. Boy it was just like riding a motorcycle on a cold day, the cold air made my eyes water but as you can guess I was in my Glory. I always wanted a Speedster and now I have one.

Good looking ride. Must have been great to get it all done. I see you have a heater so you should not have been cold. The water from your eyes were tears of joy.

I also like the color.

Every time I go for a maiden voyage I come back empty handed.
Guess the handsome prince beat me to them.

Looking good!! I am sure you will enjoy it. The seat looks pretty comfortable and warmer weather is coming. I just finished mine as well and have taken a number of chilly rides to test things out. What are the headlights from?

Nice job! That is one sporty rig. Frank

Very nice, well done........

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Jerry, the headlights are Guide 682-C, they were used I believe in the late 30's to 40's. These were on a pickup that I acquired that had been in a fire.....the buckets had small dents etc. I spent sometime getting them up the way they are in the picture plus $ for the chrome and lamping kits and emblems.

30-Pickup and Tom Wesenberg:

The color is Niagara Blue Lite, a 1928 Ford color.........it was cross referenced and mixed from the paint number at a local store, Ridge Auto.
