I asked if I could tag along and he said sure.so we left last Wednesday around 9:30 in the morning from sacramento,ca and made it to bend,or the next day was bend,or

    pauls car has a stock flathead with a single carb and og edmunds heads.stock trans and rear. dropped axle in the front and shackles and reverse eye in the rear. all stock brakes.and jeff you are welcome.this drive was the start of my sedan custom idea. I have two young children and i dont have money for a chop. so a sedan is a perfect car for me. plus we need to show the guys in spokane some more customs!all kidding aside the inland emperors were beyond friendly and super happy to see us. it was actually very refreshing.

    Wow !!! I love Pauls car even more now. I gotta get a shirt or two and some of those business cards.

    On your talk about sedans are counting four door convertibles? I have been wanting a four door custom for a long time. One of the baddest 4 doors of all time came out of the northwest.

    i would love a four door convert.i don’t have that money though.so we are thinking.grab a four door and slowly collect the parts to make it as correct as possible to make it a convert. then a padded top.

    Wayne Mahaffeys 35 ford.It was built late 40s,early 50s. This car is one my favorites.He had a early feature in hotrod magazine.Car was built to run,has a very potent caddy flathead with Edmund’s speed equipment. The car is just stunning in person.
