The way I felt getting out of bed this morning, and most mornings, I ain't building any more cars. I'll be fortunate to complete the planned mods on the ones I've got.

On the other hand, the Big Block engine I recently sold would more than pay for the Model A.

Because southern Minni isn't that far from northern Mich.?

Because you can do good things to a car body that hardly anyone else can do?

Because you don't have enough on your plate?

Because he made a mistake?

Just guessing.

Yeah......This one has been making the rounds on a couple of car sites.
More then one custom has been falsely labeled as a "Barris" custom. If pressed I would suspect that it's one of those "I heard it from a friend who.... Heard it from a friend" deals.

I'm a '56 Ford lover, so I should have an opinion on this car, but it's unprintable. I never have seen a car with canted headlights that I liked. As much as I like fins, I don't like this rendition or the taillights.
When you customize a vehicle you show off your bodywork skills, but you also show off your vision of the whole car. This guy had the mechanical skills but his overall vision and mine don't coincide.
He has got a nice slant to the car, though, and he started with a very nice looking vehicle.
