Junkyard Flattie....believe



So, one weekend I get a wild hair and shoot down to Tucks place. We decide to scope out our local Super Secret yard. What do we find?.....well

1953 ford sedan with the flathead still in it. All complete and looked untouched. It still had the ford spark plug wires as well as the aircleaner. So, we torch it out, get it home and tear into it.


Come to find out that it has some sticky intake valves. Nothing a torch some time and some special sauce can't fix (what is special sauce? -> ask tuck...only he knows the combination). Freed up the valves and 1 hour later....check it out...





This is so much fun...saving good old stuff. One week later tuck had the heads cleaned and other parts...then started to paint it...stupid killer color rootbeer base with a candy clear I think.
