Hey Slim,"Bubba" here, has a 28-9 painted shell you're more than welcome to. You can't be too far away.--Bill

I don't think I have ever met Bubba on the forums but I am in DeKalb County on Sand Mountain. Can't be too far.

I am gonna try to get a better photo of "The Ghost" tomorrow when the sun is out. Black car in a dim garage just doesn't give a good idea

Many thanks to Bill in Alabama for the kind offer of a '29 radiator shell

This will indeed make The Ghost look even more along the lines that it should.
True gentleman and thank U very much.

Acquired a Model A steering column to match my wheel today.
Got it for the price of two rusted '35 Ford wire wheels and ten dollars

Tested my steering box out and it works! Gonna have to learn to fine tune it with the screw adjustments. I believe the Column/box I got are out of a '30 but I am unsure how to tell without taking it apart.

found this tin while hunting. it was down over a bank behind an old farmers field. asked him about it and he said it had been there for as long as he remembered. told me if i could drag it up i could have it as long as i didn't tear his field up.

Nice catch and without even firing a shot!

BTW, what is the sedan delivery?

There are Colleges in Dire Need of your talent in Early Americana and what it means. It's hard to find someone with your Gift today.

Keep up the good work, pass it on to others and Please Keep Us all posted on your Project.

You may not realize it, but you Sir, are a true Blessing.......!

Here is The Ghost as she sits today minus the box.
