The Ford Barn

Strick · 01-21-2017, 08:15 AM

Any Fordbarn members attending the GNRS in Pomona, CA during January 27th-29th? Let's start a thread to see who's going and if anyone has a car registered. If so, wouldn't mind stopping by to say hello. I'll be out there beginning Wednesday next week.

Going Friday. I am not a people person on Sat. or Sunday.

Driving the roadster in on Saturday the 28th. Hope to park between building 4 and the NHRA museum as usual, if possible. No rain expected until February, so the tv weatherman says.

I'll be there all weekend. I'm part of a car that will be competing for AMBR.

That's pretty amazing. (And beautiful). Fortunately, it appears no actual Packards were harmed in the making of that "Packard."

Thank you! I kind of still can't believe it. It's quite an honor.

Thank you! We did start with an original Packard although, the car ended up being about 90% handmade. However, the car we did start with, someone had been very cruel to in the past, so it was a great candidate for our purposes. And we still have the complete stock, unchanged chassis.
Lots of stock panels that were loaded up with everything from filler, to fiberglass over rust, to galvanized panels sheetmetal screwed on covered with tons of lead, were lovingly replaced/reshaped.
