A Little Bit of Info

Car #1- 1930 Ford Model A Coupe.

The steel body sits on a TCI Frame with a Ford C6 transmission and Ford Rear-end. The car was built 8 years ago.

I purchased the car from eBay in January 2008, my wife is glad to have me back from hours on the computer. I put it on a trailer and pulled it home from Wisconsin. The previous owner hated to see the car exposed to the winter weather and road grime. Lots of cleaning had to be done and I sent him a picture after getting “HIS” car cleaned up. I think he is now going to let me keep it!

When I was 13 years old I got my first car, it was a Model A Ford. It was all stock and very rough. Every month I went through the new Hot Rod Magazine, I had big plans for the car. I had to carry a large water can, because the radiator leaked so badly. With two of the four mechanical brakes working, my brother and I made a lot of dust on the back roads of Arkansas. I never got to fix that car up, but I now have a Model A that is close to what I wanted my first car to be like.



Car #2 - 1967 Jaguar XKE FHC (Fixed Head Coupe)

I put the Ford V8 and C4 transmission in the Jag 33 years ago. The car is a pleasure to drive and has over 70,000 miles on the conversion. I hope to go through the car soon; it is due some fix’en up!
