For me it was an older neighbor kid.He had a 29 model A sedan ,we would take it out in the pasture field and drive the wheels of it.I knew then I was hooked.He also had a Cushman motor scooter that we rode.when I was 15 my dad borrowed 150.00 dol. for my first ride (1939 Ford 2/d sedan black).I was in hog heaven.I traded it for a 50 olds.2 dr. sedan manual shift,drove that for a number of years and traded it ,an owl head pistol,and 20.00 dol.for a pristine Original Ford Model B.The coupe only had 32,000 miles.I didn't like the original V/8, so i dropped in a modified 57 sbc engine,wheels,juice brakes and what else I could afford at the time as I was only earning 16.00 per week working in a dairy.I remember seeing Don Gartlis drag race at the Knoxville,Tn drag strip for the first time in the Swamp Rat,what a thrill to see that awesome power,and the smell after his run smelled like you had just discharged a shot gun WOW.Then the supreme sacrifice was made.I got married traded the coupe for a 57 Chev.conv.3 kids and forty + years later my wife detected I was getting a bit bored with retirement and Golf and made the suggestion that I might want to build another car.This was 21 months ago.The Car is now finished,34 Ford 3/w cpe.
