So here's a couple of things I'd have liked to have said when I bought the 37 Ford... (I knew what I was buying, but still....)


#1 - Why would you spend good money on paint and stick the body over a chassis held together with chewing gum?

#2 - Brakes are a far more critical component than chrome.

#3 - Dude! That's an exhaust leak - not a "mechanical header sound".

#4 - A flip out black and white TV does not make up for that birds nest of wires.

#5 - Yeah... it would overheat in BAKERSFIELD, CA even though it has an electric fan.... 10V's to the fan might be more of a drawback than you think. Ya think?

#6 - That stud on the starter motor - might not be the best place to gang a half dozen accessories... unfused...

#7 - Remember that "big cam"? It must have gone flat when I found the vacuum leak. It went away completely when I bumped the timing from 4 to 12....
