The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Some believe I've crossed over to the dark side. 39/40 vs. '36

Kube - congrats on your successful 11-year chase. Why are you disassembling this low-low-low mileage Ford? Personally, an assembly-line put-together Ford is thee essence of originality, so keep the soul of your Ford alive. A thumbs-up to those Ford workers.

Obviously I'm not a fan of restos; a professional rubbing compound app on your '36?

My '33 3w has a one Duncan Blue peeling-patches thumbnail-thick repaint, seen via the open patches, I see the original-gloss Duncan blue. I'd lift the repaint if any way possible to expose the Ford-applied Duncan Blue.

Nickel windshield surround on a commercial vehicle would've been done by the dealership. special order? Thank You!
