Carpenter has bought the sheetmetal which explains his color ad in current Hemmings. Sorry to hear this project has been abandoned, but the economy surely hasn't helped. Thanks Bob for all the effort. I'm sure this was a difficult decision. RPM

Anyone know if there are some spare parts available for sale anywhere? I've looked all over but can't find any.

Now that you have found the Ford Barn, always search here first. Not sure what you need, but there are many suppliers, Dennis Carpenter being one.

Thanks for the source MuskegonFlatheadFan, that's opened up a ton of opportunities for restoration to me.
