The 1947 Dodge Build

Who Hoo! Got my 5 piece front bumper back today from Tri City. All 5 pieces of the front bumper are just as gorgeous as the 5 piece rear bumper they did earlier this year. FWIW the front and rear bumpers are identical except on the rear main center bar it says FLUID DRIVE and it’s plain on the front. If the rest of the car turns out as nice as the bumpers did, I will be one happy camper!

KINDA UN RELATEED, BUT THERE WAS AN AUCTION RECENTLY HERE. AN OLD FORD NUT, HAD PASSED AND HIS WIFE OR KIDS AUCTIONED OFF HIS CARS, ALL FORDS. HE HAD ABOUT 40 OR SO FROM WHAT I HEAR. Musta been rich. He was about conceited as I was when I used to race hemi`s. (think its called hemi head!) LOL
Anyway, he had turned down $50,000 for a 40 ford convertible, making the brag that it wasn`t enough for that car, "it sold for $17,500 !! last week.
