The Ford Barn

Hello Everyone!
I'm back here, having sold my '48 V-8 and acquired a '30 coupe.
Anyway, I was in England last January and was a spectator for part of the, 'Exeter Trial', which is a two-day auto and motorcycle torture festival in the southwest and Dartmoor. Check it out on YouTube videos. I was watching antique cars slithering and clawing their way up a narrow and slippery hill which was difficult to even stand upright upon, chatting to a father and son who were also watching. They told me that Model A Fords were excellent trials cars and later I saw Tudor and Fordors ascent hills that baffled many smaller, lighter cars. My new friends said they were planning to build a trials Model A, but needed a running-driving chassis to begin with.
