That is a sweet looking truck you have.

I would also like to wish everyone here at the Ford Barn a "Merry Christmas" & a "Happy New Year". May we rejoice in the Christ child at this time.

30 Tudor had chicken wire covered with burlap, padding & top material.

Never drove with chains on. Bet there is a lot of road noise with the chains.

Looks like a real nice car to work on. I hope you enjoy it & use it often.

I did notice that the threaded plate is missing or looks to be missing in the upper part of the stantion. Testing my memory but I believe the holes should be 5/15-18. The plate was held in by a large flat head rivet.

Here in the mid west, I totally agree. Jobs are not easy to get here & I still have one. May God bless all of you on this Thanksgiving day. We have many things to be thankful for. We can also try to be of help to those less fortunate.

I'd like to see a picture of just your car Pat. It looks really nice.

Nice looking car. Enjoy.

Very nice indeed. It's nice to see a low mileage original.

I sure would like to be the caretaker of some of those cars for you Redneck. They sure do look good. It's not good to envy though I've been told.

Looks like you have a nice solid car to start with there. Take your time with it & enjoy the time you spend on it. Maybe get the kids involved.

I've had the blushing problem before. With that I usually wet sanded & polished & it looked fine. The tank was painted over a month ago when our weather was warmer but that doesn't mean the humidity didn't have an affect on it. I usually go by a cheap humidity gauge that I have. If it's over a...

Not sure if it would be old paint. I was more inclined to think it may have been from when I wet sanded the color before putting the clear on. I may have sanded through one of the color coats. I know this happened when I originally did the car. I thin each following coat just a little more than...

It was clear laquer. More paint I've had for years.

I had to restore another gas tank for our 29 A. I used the same laquer that I painted the car with 30 years ago but put clear on top. I put 3 coats of clear on at one time. I thought they were heavy enough. My problem is now that I have started wet sanding with 1200 grit paper I have some light...

It's looking nice to this point. Keep taking those sanity breaks & keep the pictures coming as you make the progress.

What's with the date in the picture? 10/06/2097

The story of the Dodges being pulled off the ice is true. We saw one of them last year at a light house in the U.P. If I remember right there were some newspaper articles posted near the car showing them being off loaded on the ice.

I am not familiar with the 32 hood latch but I would start with a very liberal dose of a penetrant like WD 40. I'd shoot it a couple times day for a few days & the start trying to work the latch & see if it will move at all. If that doesn't work then I would drill out the rivets (I assume there...
