The Ford Barn

After a 20 year break raising two kids I am back in the game again with a 1929 Tudor! It is a very nice "10 foot Car". It runs well, but was given a quick respray without color sanding and buffing to sell it. I will not be satisfied until it is a very nice "1 foot car"! Which means I'll be going through the entire car again. That's OK because I get as much pleasure out of working on it as driving it. So here we go. I'll check in with progress reports from time to time.

BTW That is not my garage although I wish it were!

Yes, Vagabond Green and Rock Moss Green. According to my research early 29s had the window reveals painted Rock Moss, and later they were left lower body color. Since I am repainting I have to choose. Are your reveals painted Rock Moss? Also the window garnish moldings were Molding Grey and later Light Buff. Another choice? I'd love to see a bigger picture of your model A. It is hard to see much in the tiny avitar.
