Here's some that I pulled home over the years 
I can't tell you what my wife said when I brought that very rough '36 pu home 
Now the last one, the black '35 Fordor sedan, she really liked 
. You win some, you loose some, and some get rained out.

'32 from near Saginaw, MI.
Loaded up....
Unloaded at home....
The large headlights and grille make the `32 Ford the timeless Icon it is today. Never saw an ugly one!

Hi bruce & mike, the 40 conv was in a field within 15 mile of where i live near new market,va. It had sat there since around 1962 with no frame. Top bows and trunk lid was in the barn for it. I have since gathered 2 more 40 convs in the same condition that sat outside since 1962. Those 2 were stripped out shell with the one frame laying on the ground to where a tree grew thru the frame at the steering brace. The good thing the other frame was restored and stored in the barn. Most of the other parts for these 2 convs where in another barn that burnt in 1969, so those parts were gone. As far as progess i have a nice sedan donor body and have gathered up parts for the last 10 years(nice doors and other usable parts) and now am ready to build it. I will post a picture of the other 2 convs. Thanks and good luck on all your projects!

Mike In Mass,
Reading this made the Thread all worthwhile. That is exactly the feeling I get! I have a son and a 14 year grandson just as much into it as I am.
Thank you for shaing!
