I started a thread a few weeks ago about this car. Well I had to wait a little while because it was buried in the back of a garage with 3 other cars in the way. Now for the first time since 1990 it has seen the light of day. The person I got the car from is a good friend and had to empty the garage. He just went through a divorce and she got that house. It is all mine now. I have many spare parts for it. I still have more to get out of her garage. I am looking forward to sifting through the many parts that are in it and still tucked away. I know there is more I will need, but it is a great start. For all the Sprint lovers.... I am sorry, but I will be changing the color. I can't say I hate the color scheme, but it does nothing for me. I will be saving everything that makes it a Sprint though. Who knows, maybe someday I will repaint it back to what it is. But for now I am definately planning on a color change. Now if someone wants this car really bad, I would consider a trade for another body. The Conn. title I have says the car came from Alabama in 1988. It was driven here in CT. for only 2 years before my friend bought it and parked it in a nice dry garage. I am looking forward to this build. My wife likes the car, and my 8 and 10 year old girls like it too. I think it will make a fun little hot rod!
Thanks! The 32 belongs to a friend. I did the body and paint work on it last year. And yes it is a real Henry Ford car!! It is back for me to flame for him.
I like the shop and both of the cars actually! I'm looking forward to seeing the build log on this one. Out of curiosity, how big is the shop? It looks like there's plenty of room in there to spread out and work along with what looks to be an office / entertainment area! -Scott H.
The shop is 36x28. there is never enough room, but this is nice. I had the garage built 3 years ago. I am fortunate enough that this is the play shop, no bikes or rakes or anything like that. There is also a 3 car attached to the house for the daily drivers and the house/yard stuff. I had only 2-10 foot wide doors put on. This way I have what is normally a hands on work area off to the side and then room for 2 cars to work on. Right now the mav is over to the side to leave me plenty of room for the 32 and it's flame job. See the attached pic of the shop from the outside before the building and yard were finished. This is before we had the area paved also... the 47 is mine too.
Keep the Sprint colors, but make the blue a metalflake and the white a pearl. Now that would be different!
