Hell Bent for Speed
With over whelming enquiries and requests, I have decided to document my current build here - even though it's not a mustang...
The following will document the progress, so far, and future progress.
The car is a 1928 Ford, 5-window, Model A, standard coupe that I acquired for free.
My Father-in-law came across this body while deer hunting on his buddies property, that he just bought. His friend said that I am more then welcome to get it, or it's going to the scrapper. These are the picture that my FIL text messaged me:
What you DON'T see in those pictures is the entire frame, with some brackets, etc, still buried in the ground. Needless to say, I came unprepared. To dig that is...
But I wasn't leaving without the coupe! We luckily found an old broken shovel in a nearby barn and was able to dig it free and eventually pull it out with the truck.
This is after we had it loaded and was on our way home:
This was back in March of 2012. I got it home and it then sat for about 2-1/2 years while I finished up home projects, etc.
