This is my father's Ford Model A Roadster he rebuild virtually from scratch. He had a frame and two rear side panels sitting in our garage my entire life. He used to talk about his "car" and my mom, sister, and I would tease him about it. He's had it for over 40 years, and this summer, he finally finished it. One time I came over, while he was rebuilding it (we're talking, he crafted the wood steering wheel and dash, the gas tank, the entire engine---all by himself!) and he was in the dining room with all these papers on the table. They were his hand-drawn blueprints and plans he'd made to create the car. It was unbelievable. I told him that he better save those plans---I wanted them! Anyway, here's the car :) Posted by Hello
