Here's my Aussie roadster. Purchased this car when I was 19 and owned it for 25 years. It's a runner, but not currently registered. The coupe I helped my father restore in the late 80's but is now in SEQld. The phaeton I purchased 18 months ago is completely stripped. It's look great in this photo but was in very poor condition. Not using much of the original car as parts were too far gone. Mechanicals for the rebuild and frame are near completed but body work still have alot to go. Most panels are done and I'm using a body shop to piece together the body parts as it's too big a job for me at this stage.

A while back Troy, a new guy at work, learned that I messed around with old cars and mentioned that he had a '34 Ford 3 window on his uncles farm. He said he would never do anything with it and said I could HAVE it! It took about two years to get his aunt to send a picture. Turned out it was not a '34; but a '35 or '36; but the price is still right. A couple of months later Troy and I made run out to the farm about 50 or 60 miles somewhat west of Minot, North Dakota to pick it up. Troy said it had been sitting there since '72 or so and we found it had sunk about six inches into the ground. Lucky the climate
out there is really dry and soil must drain well as there
was only one small rust hole in the right lower cowl. Good
news the fenders and boards were laying next to it and
the and all the garnish, regulators, locks, etc were stacked inside. We got it loaded (learned why it took
so long to get the picture, Troy's aunt and uncle do nothing quickly, great folks though), tied down, and
hauled it home, all for the price of diesel and dinner.
The bad news is I have had it for about ten years now
and have collected all the parts I need; but have not
done any actual work on it yet. Maybe this summer or
maybe my kid will get it afterall, he's had his eye on it since it came home.

Very cool!
That has a good look to it. What are you doing to it? I wouldn't mind having an unchopped 3 window someday.

Here's my tudor when I bought it in Aug. 08. Had been in the corner of a heated shop since 1966. Had it running like a good watch in an hour.
Here it is last summer after paint on most of it and cruising around town.
Here it is last week. I finished the hood and I'm working on the interior. Hope to put some miles on it this summer. Fairly stock, with many early '40s accessories, mechanical brakes all redone with Flathead Teds kits.
