Default My 1950 Ford Convertible

Hey all,
I am new to this forum. Thought I share a photo of my Shoebox project. Here´s a photo of when I picked it up about a year ago from Colorado Springs, and then a more recent photo. It needs a lot, but plan is just to get it running and driving first. If you have any parts available, let me know
I´m located in Michigan.

Post pictures of your progress. My fist car was a ‘50 Tudor sedan, flathead V8, paid $5.00 for it in 1964 and drove it home.

I Will for sure. I am just starting to rebuild an 8BA flathead.
Wow, that sounds like you made a deal! Hope you still have it

Thanks! I´ve seen it. It´s actually 49 with a 1950 hood (has 49 park lights, and gas cap).
If you know any other movies, let me know!

My first car was a 50' Tudor too, back in 66'. The junk yard offered him $10.00 and I offered $12.00. I drove it for a year, in my first year of college. She started every time with no issue. It wasn't the prettiest, but she got me where ever I wanted to go. I didn't know a thing about that engine when I bought it. I wish now that i had taken as good of care of her as she did me. My next Flathead was the one I now own.
