I’ve been watching this heavily modified 1948 Ford at local car shows and featured in a magazine for years. Then it disappeared. When I found out where it was and that it may be for sale I jumped on it.  Sitting uncovered under an open carport this once former enviable work of art had deteriorated over the past 20 plus years. It sat on flat tires and was covered in a quarter inch of dust , bird droppings and dirt. We made a deal, I had it towed to a shop to get it roadworthy and proudly drove it home. So far I’ve taken it out twice and was towed home twice. I’m still working on it.
