Welp when I was kid about 13 this old fella ran a little repair garage in town and he fixed bicycles as well as cars so whenever I ripped my bike up beyond my capabilities we took it to him. he had several old Ford cars sitting around back of his shop and I fell in love with a '35 Ford tudor with the "Flatback body" When I was 15 ,I went to him and offered to buy it, but I didn't have much money so we made a deal That I would clean up the yard for him as well as the little bit of cash I had. I did restore that car but it took 30 or so years, it sat in Dad's barn for 17 then I got at it. I had it 90% done and some guy made me an offer I could not refuse. I took an '80 Camero for it plus some cash and the Camero was mint..figured out to a pretty penny for the '35...I miss it but had more fun with the Camero, parts available,engine soup up, car shows etc...still have a pang when I see a '35 at a show. Incidentally that was my second car , my first was a '38 Chevy that I bought for $50...my Mom just about eviserated me for bringing that car home and I learned a lot of mechanics with that old Chevy..knee action suspension, atraight 6, lots of guts...welp I wish I had them both....Mike in Exeter Ontario
