Let's See Your 1935 FORD !

[rich b]

A while back Troy, a new guy at work, learned that I messed around with old cars and mentioned that he had a '34 Ford 3 window on his uncles farm. He said he would never do anything with it and said I could HAVE it! It took about two years to get his aunt to send a picture. Turned out it was not a '34; but a '35 or '36; but the price is still right. A couple of months later Troy and I made run out to the farm about 50 or 60 miles somewhat west of Minot, North Dakota to pick it up. Troy said it had been sitting there since '72 or so and we found it had sunk about six inches into the ground. Lucky the climate
out there is really dry and soil must drain well as there
was only one small rust hole in the right lower cowl. Good
news the fenders and boards were laying next to it and
the and all the garnish, regulators, locks, etc were stacked inside. We got it loaded (learned why it took
so long to get the picture, Troy's aunt and uncle do nothing quickly, great folks though), tied down, and
hauled it home, all for the price of diesel and dinner.
The bad news is I have had it for about ten years now
and have collected all the parts I need; but have not
done any actual work on it yet. Maybe this summer or
maybe my kid will get it afterall, he's had his eye on it since it came home.
