I acquired this 1930 Ford Model A doodlebug from my lady friend about 4 years ago. It had belonged to her late husband. She is reasonably sure it hasn't run for at least 38 years. It sat outside behind a barn for 20 years before I got it. The engine was stuck. The transmission bearings were all rusted up. The front tires were rotten and the rims rusted though where they had sunk into the ground. I have been working on it on and off for 3 years and finally got it to run right last Thursday. This is what it looks like now.
Just for the record, I started painting it like this before Grandpa Love painted the Farmall purple. He works faster than I do. Purple is her favorite color.
