Re: 7-1/2 years later…my project is done.
Nice to see a truck that looks like a real working truck. Great job!

Refreshing change from all that perfect paint and those thousands of professionally purchased restorations.

Re: 7-1/2 years later…my project is done.

The "younger" sibling is actually my Grandpas '66 F100 that he bought new. I learned to drive in it picking up hay bales from the field...the summer I was 9 years old...1966. |

Re: 7-1/2 years later…my project is done.
Snappy Don,
Great memories. I still own my Grandad Sam's '54 Ford NAA tractor which he bought new. It was the first vehicle I ever drove. I wish I had pictures of him on it, along with the flathead '52 F3 pickup he bought used, around '55. Al Hook |

Re: 7-1/2 years later…my project is done.
Don,
You have done a excellent job of meeting your goals. I have read that it can take on avg 7 years to complete a project like your truck! You are right on schedule! I like the look of a truck with some of the scars and dents! Regards, Chris and Cheryl

Re: 7-1/2 years later…my project is done.
What a neat truck and story. Good luck on your next venture. That’s the trouble with old Fords, can’t have just ONE !

Re: 7-1/2 years later…my project is done.
Great job!!! Now you can "drive it". Bought my '34 in '69 and finished restoring it in 2009. So 7 1/2 years is not too bad. Best part is that "IT'S Done"!!

Glad you made it to your goal. The truck looks great and I like the way you kept it as original as you could.

Re: 7-1/2 years later…my project is done.
You should drive it down to the Shelton Historical Society car show downtown, I think in July. I am sure it would be a hit! Google it for the exact date. I will be there with my "new" car if weather permits.

Re: 7-1/2 years later…my project is done.
Congratulations on completing your project. It's hard to take it slow and listen to other peoples' opinions when it's your money and your project, but there's a lot to be said for reaching out and absorbing collective knowledge like you have. I love Ford Barn. It's paid off for you. You have something really special.
