around town
the grill is from some kinda tractor via ebay (International Harvester, maybe?)

It’s fun to drive, I think it’ll do 50mph, but I’m not ready to try it on the highway. The car 3 speed and the double clutch technique to downshift into first leads me to believe that Henry Ford wanted a “commitment” from Ford owners if they intended to drive a ford. 😳

lots more to do, but I HAD TO get it “on the road”!

I went with 4 parallel leaf springs, removed two leafs in rear springs, move the engine rearward about a foot. Added a Corvette ladder bar.
didn’t know why, other than it all looked “cool”.

Ran out of gas...
