The Ford Barn

Thanks everyone. I can update ya'll a little bit on this car. The man I bought it from found it in Missouri stored in an actual barn where it had been sitting since around 1980 covered with a tarp. He bought it, brought it home, cleaned it up, fluids/battery/etc and started it up. It is still 6 volt. He was told it is an older restoration but the other party could not remember when (belonged to a past relative). He bought the car just recently with the only intention of turning it. I just got lucky for a change and was the second caller. The first caller didn't come thru with the cash, so I got my dad to go get it for me. I won't get to see it until I get home and go get it in 2 more weeks.

Current plans? I don't know yet. I was originally looking for something to rod with a little chop etc. Now, I'll just wait until I see it. My wife wants me to clean it and turn it then find something not as complete for my project. I don't know...it would really not be right to take it down if it's as nice as it looks in the pictures.
