The Ford Barn

I heard about Jim’s book when I joined the Barn in 2014. Couldn’t wait so I drove 30 miles down to Temecula to get it, and Jim gave me a tour of his cars which was a bonus.

My wife’s 30 Roadster is a real project with a lot of mismatched and missing parts. She wanted to restore it back to original and I wanted to make it a hot rod with a flat head V-8. We reached a compromise, I bought her a restored ‘29 Roadster for Valentine’s Day in 2014 and she agreed I could do what I want with the ‘30 Roadster.

After reading the book, I realized I could make a 4 Banger much easier than a V-8 and, more than likely, have just as much fun.
