The Ford Barn

Have some fun with your flathead today for Halloween.

First, drive around town with some kinda great head mask on. If you think you've had lookers and pictures before, just wait 'till you do this.

Then, tonight, dress up your old Ford on the lawn, sit real still inside, and grab kids as they come up to the window or honk and flash your lights at them when they walk past the front.

Even Pepe got in on the act. Of course, you gotta rough your paint up a bit for the full effect.

This is just a month after we started to fix him up after sitting for 31 years. He was drivable but still had some work to do.

This, especially for Lawson....

Tonight with my trusty Harbor Freight lights. Driving around with the head mask on was lots of fun. Lots of great reactions from the kids.

prof henry, I almost didn't recognize you without your golf cap on,
but then took a second look and could see it was you......

Happy Halloween

Honestly, I don't think there is anybody who puts more miles on and has more fun with his old flatheads, cars (and people) than you! Way to go . . . you're an inspiration for all of us!

Take care,
Dale

Thanks, Dale. That is very kind. It's good to get an "atta-boy" once in a while instead of just scathing rebukes.

Thanks again.
