In 1964 my dad bought a ‘50 Ford 2 door sedan flathead V8 from a co-worker for $5 bucks, It smoked pretty badly as I drove it home. I decided to change the oil and that’s when I found broken rings in the drain pan. We did a driveway rebuild, Dad borrowed a drill driven hone, bought two new pistons, rings, rod bearings, gaskets. Being a teen driver I beat that car for the next two years, when the floors became to rotted to keep, I sold it for $50, I wasn’t smart enough to keep it.
