The Ford Barn

Although the body is not EV8, the rest of the car is, '32 frame, '40 running gear, '35 wire wheels & hub caps, 38 transmission, 59AB flatmotor out a 1960's stock car. Almost all of it original stuff. Maybe the last run of the season here in New England.

Man, I love me some early-style "hi-boy", and particularly the old-timey, nostalgic look that this one reeks of. Have you aligned the toe-in yet? It may just be the lens, but it sort of looks like the toe-in is a little TOO positive. I LIKE this one! DD

I see what you mean about the toe. I think it is about 1/16th if I recall. May be the angle, as it was shot from the roof of the barn in the fading light of the day.

It was a great day for a cruise.
I think we can squeak another weekend out. My sister went for a ride for the first time in my roadster last weekend. She mentioned my car is NOT a chick magnet. It's an old guy magnet, based on the amount of attention at the gas stations and stores. I thought that was funny.
