The Ford Barn

Here is a very short video showing how well the old engine runs. Last year, we found the oil pan full of water. We opened it up, found a frozen valve, fixed that, lapped the valves, tightened up the rod caps, put new rod bushings in, and new rings. Haven't had it up to speed yet. It may fly apart. Sure starts and runs good. Only value in the old car is sentimental. Been in family over 65 yrs and the last owner was Uncle Rudy, so Frank, the latest owner named it Uncle Rudy. We just wanted to get it to the point Frank could give the grand kids rides. I told Frank he did not need to put a roof on it. Just drive it on sunny days. Frank wanted a roof. We have a windshield, but it's not the right one. We covered the original seats with clear plastic and they are functional. We will put a new clutch in this winter. The main point is: Frank is enjoying his old car.

Indeed, sounds and runs great!

Don't know why.....who cares........
When they run like that......just enjoy, right!

How about a picture of the whole car.

Jack,
Is there another video or a thread on Uncle Rudy?
I enjoyed the driving video, but wonder if there is a picture or video that shows the car?
Regards, Neil
