The Ford Barn

I must still be dreaming, for years I've always liked the 35 Ford design. Even more so than the 36, I always thought it would be my dream car if I ever had to choose only one car.
By The perfect circumstances, and a lot of help from my friends I not only found a 35, but am the proud owner of a 1935 Ford three window coupe!

This one had a few mods "back in the day", but all I can live with. It has a 1940 drivetrain, including column shift tranny, hydraulic brakes, wide five wheels, 49 Mercury gauges, and a filled roof.
I am seriously considering finding some original wire wheels for it, but will have to change drums at a minimum.
Some holes in the floors, but repairable, and the only Bad thing is the grille took a hard hit, I think beyond fixing. I'm thinking of installing my spare running 40 motor in it, fixing the brakes, and driving it!
Still ecstatic,

Ralph

PS: I'm looking for a decent grille if anyone knows of one.
