'39 Ford

For gearheads -
We were visiting good friends and attending the Syrup Festival in Henderson, Texas, a couple of weekends ago. The festival included a car show and naturally us guys headed that way. Lots of old cars, rods, etc., but this particular car blew the others away as far as I was concerned. The builder was a retirement age amateur (older guys rule!) and said this was his first effort. He started with a '39 Ford, kept the frame, front fenders/grill/hood, and parts of the rear fenders. The rest is hand-formed sheetmetal. The guy has some mad metal skills and his design work is solid, too.

Thanks so much for posting these photos. As a life long, grey bearded motor head, I have to say, this is one of the most original and exceptional takes on a 39-40 Ford I have ever seen. Thanks again.

I figured UHH had more than a few gearheads who'd appreciate this guy's work. Always good to share this stuff.

Thanks for sharing, Ron. Fantastic metalwork on that. I like the windshield too.
