Flathead V8: 1931 Ford Model A Hot Rod
As I’ve gotten older, I tend to prefer original and unmolested classics. However, that doesn’t mean that I dismiss custom builds. I am particularly drawn to traditional Hot Rods. These vehicles invariably demonstrate the builder’s creative thinking, and the… more»
Rust-Free Four Speed: 1966 Ford Mustang 2+2
