Wood, Found at Hershey 2007

This year Hershey was all about good luck.. (2007)

A 40 ford Woodie is at the top of my "most wanted" cars..

This past fall, at the National AACA fall meet (Hershey!) I overcame another hurdle in owning one..

This wood is actually a "take off" by a restoration shop in new england..its not "good enough" for a 100 point car..

However, i think it will be perfect for my project because I want to build something that I will not be afraid to use..

I missed the opportunity to buy this wood in August.. but (W) at Hershey I managed to make it happen.




Not sure if I have stopped smiling since..




































One point of interest is the JOMA "mirror thermometer" that came in a box of "spare parts" with the wood. This is significant because my other 40 Ford sports a pair of these mirrors, and I have sought after them for quite some time.

Pushing my luck further on my second day at Hershey (in the pouring down rain) I found the correct spare tire carrier with the all important O1A part number.

Its shape indicated that it was for a Woodie.. and it fit perfectly..

Better yet.. it was ONLY $5.00

The last photo shows the tire holder installed.
