The Ford Barn

I know there are many father and son projects (and completed cars) out there, I know of many. This is the opportunity to show what we have passed on to our kids. We have a '30 Coupe and a '36 5 window, both are original and 8ba powered. We try to do most all of the work ourselves. Dad Pete is 68 and son Nick is 37. He started handing wenches to me at an early age, now I hand them to him.

Dad bought Old Henry when I was 7 years old. He and mom and I did a paint and upholstery "restoration" when I got old enough to start driving him. Dad put my name on the title with his when my youngest son, Morgan, age 14, and I began restoring him in 2006. Morgan's name will take dad's place on the title when dad's gone. And so on, and so on.

My brother and I have both contributed to building and painting dads car. It's a bit more HAMB than ford barn, but not really either. More importantly, it's ours. All three names on the title so that when dad passes it doesn't go onto escrow.
The car resides at dads, with both of us living anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour away.

All three of us at the Hot Rod Reunion in Beech Bend/Bowling Green KY (Dad was a drag racer and announcer back in the day)

That's the coupe over dads shoulder...

Out for a spin...

Here we are at the wigwam motel on the way to BG,KY
