Charlie, I think I can help ya out here....Just send that 57 Chevy sedan delivery up here to CT and I'll tinker with it for a while. My brother had a 60 Chevy sedan delivery in his younger years....A great car for dating if ya know what I mean... And oh ya it had a 409 in it. He always loved big blocks and I loved the RPM of small blocks....sorry for gettin carried away...

Old iron - the best for both guns and autos. Now is that '36 in need of the same attention as the '57 or is it ready to drive the fields for deer and birds again? I think a whole lot of us are in the same boat - just not enuf time. "Mom" is happier that I'm playing with guns - vehicles just take up too much of our limited space. From a previous post I recall you already disposed of one of my favs - '32 Ford. Maybe one day. I think "Mom" is pushing for stamp collecting.
Cheers,
Jack

Unlikely to be many "afters". The red '59 Merc is the project but it hasn't been touched for two years since demolishing the parts car (which in my opinion was in better shape than the red one - but my buddy wanted the red one because he and his brother shared one while they were both looking to find a wife.)

The red headed guy is my buddy. The farmer with all the goodies is with him in one shot and was quite helpful with his knowledge of how to dismantle ford products. The farmer and his wife are in another pic. Salt of the earth folks. Their house is from 1880. Didn't take any pics because it is not yet abandoned and falling apart. There is a quonset full of beautifully restored vehicles, all done on the farm. I hope to go back one day with some Parkers and get some "period appropriate" shots of the guns with vehicles.

For those who enjoy old iron here's a few for you.

Cheers,
Jack
