That's actually a pretty good idea, Tyler. You guys think this would be a good forum topic? How do we keep out the chevy powered guys? ------------------

My brother just did a frame off restore on a 47 ford. He would love a place like this. You could have a contest to name the place. How about changing ford racing to "The quarter horse"

Chevy powered cars belong on a chevy site,Fords in fords only. If the Chevy powered guys have info that will help, then why not let them post too. I'd love to have a 40's p/u,ford powered only.

If I can ever build an early Ford of any kind, it WILL be flathead powered, I love the look of and open hooded car with a triked out flathead. A local guy has a 32 coupe with flathead power and T-5 tranny, so and it's for sale, $30K, way beyond my budget.
