Vehicle Description Looking for your dream car? Look no further Here is a little insight on the car It was bought in 1948 by a boy, when he turned 16, for $75.
With the help of his father they modified it into a hot rod like the ones he had seen in the Hot Rod Magazine on the streets of Baltimore.
Once finished he drove it until he turned 18,then he joined the service.
Once returning home he drove it for a couple weeks, then parked it into his mother's barn.
That is where the car remained until I bought it 12 years ago.
The car was very solid and had all Henry Ford sheet metal.
I removed the body from the frame, completely dismantled everything.
Then I media blasted all of the sheet metal and frame.
The sheet metal was in nice condition and did not need any patch panels.
The sheet metal was prepped and finished with PPG Concept base coat,clear coat.
The frame was finished in a single stage.
The car did not have a top and the windshield had been chopped 2.

10 gears and '40 Ford hydraulic brakes front and rear with a mustang dual master cylinder.
