Hi Again!!! Its Here...My '52 Henry J
I posted a bit back that I inherited my Dad's project car, a '52 Henry J. Dad died last year (and after diagnosed w/ pancreatic cancer, wanted to sell it so as not to "burden" me with it but I talked him out of that!). After Dad died I ended up with the whole estate to deal with so the car stayed in storage til I had a way to get it. I recently bought a house and made sure to get a 2 car garage so I could bring the car here (it was about 100 miles away where Dad had lived). Took a little doing to get things set up to get it here but finally....its here!!!!
Thats a shot in my garage. Here it is at the Cruise to the Woods car show about 5 months before Dad died, where he placed in the top 10 out of over 1000 cars....
Engine, a Chevy "Stroker" 350, 383 CU, bored out. It has a positraction rear end & air compressor, aluminum header. Wide back tires (I guess Dad wanted to drag race it?). No back seat to accomodate the back tires.
So thats my car/my Dad's car. Now I need to learn to handle the powerful engine vs. light body and start showing it!!!

How did you get hooked on cars?
