Hi, my friend is looking for chrome front and back bumpers in good condition with hardware for his 1926:Ford Sedan. Any help will be appreciated.

Does anyone know where I could find depot hack body plans? I’m hoping to do a wooden body on a TT frame and could use reference material.

Here are a few pics I took while at Chickasha and also some of my finds. My two favorite finds are the speedster body and the Wakasha intake ... The speedster body may be the next speedster project. Anyone interested in another 6-year long project :) thats how long it took to do the last one I did on the forum. The pics of the tools are tools that...
