Guess I'm one of the "Older" ones here.

It was in 1964 and my father bought me a 1952 Ford Sunliner. Which for the younger crowd, it was a rag top. Flathead V-8 and Ford-a-matic. It didn't run and was towed to our house.

I rebuilt the engine "twice". First time I made all the mistakes and had to redo it. Changed the auto to stick shift. Added Bar grille, Elderbrock cyl. head, Isky 3/4 race cam, adjustable "Johnson" lifters and three carbs. Oh yeah, dual exhaust, glass paks and scavanger pipes. Redid the interior with seat covers and made the door panels. Took me over one year to make it run where it was drivable.

Learned alot on that car. Nosed and decked it and my dad painted it in our garage.
