You shouldn't have any trouble finding a transmission should you go ahead with the project..

Looking good Ernie. Nice, crisp neat woodworking.

Nothing wrong with that frame. If it fits where it is supposed to go and if the glass & molding fit the hole that's all you need. It will be covered up anyway.

Which make me think it may have been RHD at one time. Lots of Hudsons in England.

Nice job. You may want to join a woodworking forum. Make a thread in there. Explain your project and tell the boys you will be looking for pointers for certain cuts.I'm sure they'll be glad to help. This is the one I belong to:http://www.woodworkingchat.com/ If you live waaaay South, I might come to vavation there and help you.

Roger has been discussing building an amphitheater around his workbench and selling tickets. I imagine it would be a sellout from day one.

You have the right approach. One piece at a time. Make each piece a project and finish it before you start the new one. When the time comes for reassembly, you may want to check Auto Hardware Specialties in Sheldon Iowa. They have just about every bit you might need.As far as sequencing, I have some pretty comprehensive instructions for reassembly. If you want them, I can email them to you. Here's a photo of my woodpile at varnishing time.

Maybe they drove on the right back then. And went to left hand drive later.

No next one. Too old, too poor, not enough space. From now on, maintenance & driving around.

There it is folks, about to turn the first K. I'm enjoying it. Still a few things to sort out. Would be nice to bring it to one of the big shops with a to-do list and tell them: "Call me when you are done." Ain't gonna happen.

One owner, low miles, possibly as close to a new 29 year old car as you can get. 9883 km (Approx 6200 miles), asking $24,500 (Approx 19K USD at today's rate). Car is located in Kapuskasing, Ontario. Call Pat @ 705-335-4008.

Barry, I can almost feel you happiness. This has got to be one of the most beautiful restorations I have ever seen! Congratulations! Now is the time to enjoy. Let us know about the "bang" it will cause at the big Ford show.

Here are my suggestions: 1-Make it roadworthy and use/show it as is. Like it was mentioned above, it is a window on an earlier time. 2-Restore it. You would never recoup your expenses but you would have saved what an enterprising person had to do to have a truck.

Everything's been said . So I'll just say WOW!. Pure class. It is gorgeous Barry. Congrats..

Boy do I ever love this car. That is an outstanding performance Barry.

That is good Bernie. I bet you feel relieved, emotionally AND financially. All joking aside, it is nice to see you get that score. You deserve it and will use it right.

Now now guys, quit whining will ya?

Thank you sir, but there no need to be humble about your car. You must remember that mine came mostly from a decent parts car as well and I incorporated what was left of my dad's.

Beautiful Richard. Amazing what perseverance can do. Congrats! You'll have fun tooling around in this.

I agree with Roger. When someone is struggling to speak to you in your own language, you should be patient, courteous and accept the effort. If you need help translating comething Bernie, I could help you. But even my Canadian French might upset them...:cool:

I agree with that. Whoever owns it next, hopefully family, will refer to it as Dad's car. As for the outing, you are obviously enjoying it. Did you already own the period dress or did you have to make it?

Magnus, You'd likely get that answer in the Chevrolet forum below or here:http://vcca.org/forum/ or here: http://1931chevrolet.com/

Nice feeling eh?

Bleach is right. Take heart, count your blessings. No expensive tow.

Oh Boy! No one knows what life has in stock for them. Sometimes those very difficult decisions are the right ones. I wish you and your family all the best. You'll be in our prayers too.
