Right now, I'm buiilding a dining table to seat 12, for my granddaughter. "Granddaughter" equates to priority.

Nest, I will reassemble the intake manifold, fuel pump, carb and radiator on my 36 tudor. Oh, yes, and try to stop the DOT 5 leak!

Nice 39 deluxe coupe (avatar) I bought from california last fall. Sweet running flattie, fired it up last Sunday and have a frozen water pump, so, pulling those for rebuild. Going to send the coil to Skip while its down. The car has new mohair interior and gorgeous woodgrain! I've owned/built a bunch of street rods and chevy muscle. This is the first stock old Ford. I'm liking it!

I am just finishing up on our 1946 Ford PU. It once was fleet owned as it has a number 418 on the seat riser as seen in the attached photo. The interior still has all of its original factory paint. Notice my custom rear bumper. We use this truck on our farm and also in our property management business. It tows a trailer and it needed a good trailer hitch as well as a good rear bumper. It was in decent when we bought this truck 30 years ago for $300. I finallly got around to giving it new outside paint and a new truck bed. The new Coker white wall radials made it a whole new experience and a better driving rig.

Finishing up on putting a Mustang 5-speed behind the 60hp in my TD. Seems to be much better than the Ford 3-speed toploader I put in last year. Marvin

A 36 standard 5 window coupe. Just got it home. Needs almost everything. Don't know a cotton picking thing about a 36. I'll be asking a bunch of questions for sure.

a 1939 ford standard sedan, body is off the frame and all parts are off the car. I am putting the drive train and independant suspension from a 1979 mercedes 300TD. Why? cause I can. It was rolling chassis when I got it, no engine nothing. So after a lot of deliberation and thought for use I went with the mercedes for fuel economy and engine life as it will be a daily driver. The independant suspension is nice too. And I love diesal . The body will be kept as origional as possible and look forward to getting it running...

SSsssteamer, Love the 46! Makes me wish I didn't get rid of my 45 before I came to Alaska. I had a chance to buy a 42 last year, but I was already knee deep in my current project, a 31 coupe on a 32 frame, with all 36-46 running gear.

Just finished my deuce 3 window that I've had for 30 years. A little hotroddy for this site. Now started on the 32 delivery which will look resto on the outside and inside but with a late model drive train. Then on to my last gennie deuce roadster, haven't figured out a direction yet.
