It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Steve, don't give Ken any more ideas or we will see the first 32 SS body ever made.
Those Fords were made in my old home town, Pittsburgh. Allegeny Ludlum Steel and Ford teamed up to build them as an experiment. Most of them are still around, I've seen one of the 36's at the Heinz Museum many years ago. They didn't go as far as Ken or Steve though, they only built their frames and all out of regular steel............PIKERS!! 
I heard that two of the 6 original 36's were wrecked, but the last 4 still survive with a ton of miles on them. The car makers wouldn't like that concept at all, they would HATE only selling you one car that would last forever.

Is the Lincoln and the T bird really stainless?
I haven't seen the '36 in person, but have read a lot about it. what a prize that would be to own one.
I got my whishbones today and I ordered a extra set of beams, that I will make the ladder bars out of. He makes these in a replacment length for So Cal hairpins and a set that are 8" longer. The ends with the slot are cast, then welded in. The tooling he has is extremly nice.

Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Cool story Roger, and nice catch Bob on the three different cars made in stainless.
Ken - those wish bones hooked to the axle and frame are stunning to look at. I think you need to fab some stainless body panels now!
