my boy's 50 ford

[doghousedevil]

picked this car up at an auction last weekend for $600 with a title and a key. this is gonna be a long time project. it belongs to my 8 year old boy. the plan is to lengthen the front doors and weld the back shut. do a chop job and have him a cool ride for high school. and the flat head spun free when we popped the clutch!

I'd just redo the drivetrain, rewire and reinterior and drive the tires off it. Looks sweet like it sits now to me

I hope my boy (1yr) likes cars as much as your boy seems to. I would love to do something like this someday. Great project!

You going to keep the flathead? Texas heat and a 16 yr-old lead foot has a way of frying those....

 

[Sam_Fear]

Very cool idea.

Kudos!! I had the same kind of experiences with my Dad at a young age and well now I'm 42 and we are still having those same times!! I promise that those will be times he will share with his grandkids and great grandkids!!

Way to go DAD!! Now thats what I call investing in the future!![cl[cl[cl[cl

My 2 1/2 year old already helps me tinker around and pretend to work on the cars and bikes with me. I wouldn't have it any other way. Have fun and enjoy!!![cl
