The pictures, video and story are interesting to say the least. I am helping a friend sell this flawless Ford Coupe. Just as a matter of reference, I have been judging cars at all types of show levels for over 25 years and have extensive experience in restoration of many marques.

The proprietor of the yard thought he was crazy when he asked him to try and not scratch it. After its arrival Ike and his son Jason made some plans for the build. Planning the Project The idea of his build was a total nut and bolt build of a dry lakes style car that would be true to the early 50andrsquo;s hot rodders. The rule would be: Anything that would be visible on the car would have to be of the time period, right down to the cloth covered wire and correct terminals. The only exception would be the much improved internal engine parts and the 5 speed overdrive transmission and clutch. So, if it wasnandrsquo;t available for sale over the counter it would have to be fabricated. For instance, the blower could |
