My older brother just lost his job last week and lives in the Detroit area od Michigan, about five years ago he bought a 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe to build his Dream Car, during this time he picked up about $6000.00 in new parts and had the rear fenders reworked, this was the only real bad area that needed attention. Well he call me yeaterday saying he going to sell the Ford with all the items he bought last year at the Louisville Swap Meet and he's asking only $10,000 for a 100% Steel Forty Coupe along with everything he bought. It also has a Small Block 350 Motor and Interior.

If anybody on the Forum is interested PM and and I will send you his contact information. He hopes to Keep his 1962 Grand Prix he's owned for 30 years, but with no job in the Detroit area who knows...

Again this is a Project that need to be completed but what a nice start...

I just received a flyer today from Aesthetic Finishers Car Show August 18 in Piqua Ohio, Is anyone from here going? ESPN and Mothers Car Polish will be filming on site during this show.. Since it's on the way back from Woodward Cruise in Detroit I'm thinking of stopping by. Last year they had 1100 cars and it's Free.

I went to Goodguys Columbus last weekend with the coupe for the first major car show and had a great time.. I didn't have the car judged but to my suprise on Sunday morning I was paged to report to the Winner Circle... My car was picked for the Fat Fender Award by Good Guys.. What a Rush, I didn't build the car for this but I must say It was nice to receive an award the first time out.

The weathers going to be just as nice tomorrow sunny and 65.. I put about 100 miles today with no problems..

I went to Street Rods By Michael and picked up the coupe last weekend and took it to have the headliner installed, should be finished this week and I can put all the glass in and at least drive it..

I sure wish I lived where it"s warm all year around.

Well it's been so long since I posted here my login and password doesn't work anymore. this season has come and gone and my car still isn't finished. I ran into some problems with the local painter and finally pulled the car and went to Street Rods By Michael in Tenn. to finish the paint work. Hopefully I can get it finished this winter and enjoy riding next spring. .
