The Ford Barn

Got a speedster from an estate sale for $300. Complete chassis except for the brake rods and carb. Gas tank looks clean. Engine looks good inside the combustion chambers and the motors free. Gonna throw a carb and some plugs on it and what not and see if it'll run tomorrow. Plan to drive it as is and redo it as I go along.

You did good and that looks like it'll make a nice and fun rod.

Well spent $300. Almost looks like a mid 40s IHC pickup hood that makes the boat tail. Cool!

looks like its been sitting long time, before rushing to start and possibly ruining an ok engine, drop the pan and clean the sludge and crap from around the oil pump......

Rear tires look worn. That was money well spent, and should be fun.
