Another "A" ready for the Road

Two years ago, I was visiting with an 84 y/o friend whom I had heard had an "A" fordor stashed away. When he showed it to me, he had replaced some wood years ago and just threw a tarp over it. I volunteered to finish the car for him. Removing the body, I verified that the frame and motor numbers matched. I called my friend with the news and he said " could have told you that!" When disassembling the car, I found an Ohio registration in my friends name for the car for the year 1967. Anyway, today I finished car and rolled it out for some parting photos.
LOVE THOSE FORDORS!

Absolutely Beautiful!!!!

I think it takes a special person to restore a Fordor to this level. These have to be one of the harder Model A's to restore.

My friend has driven the car. He was one happy duck!! He has been a member of our local chapter (Five Points Chapter- Penn Ohio Model "A" Ford Club) since the early '70's. Roger lives approx 25 miles away and before I could take the car to him, lake effect snow squalls set in. So... when the weather breaks, she goes home. Thanks for the kind words, guys!.
