The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Oregon to Georgia in a 1930 Standard Tudor

Well, yeah... it steered and stopped after a fashion, a very poor fashion, like a lot of poorly-maintained collector cars I've driven over the years. You can adjust. I've driven a car a decent distance with zero brakes, if you must know.

Because of how we were traveling, I think it would have made it to Georgia without Joe's upgrading, if the engine didn't eat its bearings.

But, no, the car wasn't very fun to drive in its prior condition.

Nor, as Joe convinced me, very safely assembled on several levels.

As I said on my blog, I've just encountered an angel with gray hair and grease under his fingernails.
