The Ford Barn

Bought today at Epping Antique Auto Flea Market.

Blasted & primed - missing center crossmember (was scheduled for a "boxing" but the Owner decided to go a different way.) And one can still read the May 1929 numbers.

Nice & stiff & straight. Not twisted a bit. Pick up opposite corners and shake and NO movement. Was in a minor front end accident (one of the frame horns show a weld repair which appears nicely done.)

And - best part of all - $100.

Yes, a minor gloat - now I have to find a crossmember and bring it back together. I think I have some engine mounts somewhere.

Yes, I keep seeing your ads over at the classifieds. Of course those M&Ss are upstairs too - but the long term on those has not been good.

And - when one has 100 percent of the first Model A, and 60 percent of the second, and 40 percent of the third - and a whole bunch of parts left over...

You know how it goes. I can almost guarantee we'll talk more formally.

Thanks for the reminder.

I did finally buy a crossmember on Ebay - but only because it was SOOO good.

So do you think Santa will mind if I wrap it up and put it under the Christmas tree with my wife's name on it?

I'm sure she would be surprised...

When I read" Meet A1595727", I thought I would see a car. Then I saw a frame.
Clever. Great start for a car. Good luck!

I've only seen two really good frames come up for sale here in my lifetime and they go for A$1200 - A$1300 now.
