Hugh's 34 Ford Tudor
Hi Guy's ! I'm new to the site but been following it for awhile. Wanted to share a build that I'm help my best buddy finish. He's name is Hugh, he bought it a couple years ago after it was hit in the rear. After most of the repair was completed he ask me if I would help finish it (paint and assembly). So here's a few pics, comments welcome Marty.

Hey, thanks. It's all steel and chopped 3.5 inches. Seems like who ever did it back in the day did a really nice chop, can't even find the welds on the doors or the post.

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
