floors are better then the other 4 henry j's i have had....i think this one will be a gasser style build. i have one now that is kinda stock looking but will be bagged with a small block and a/c...the wifes car so mine will be a gasser!!! i got there to pick it up this morning and the guy tells me he found the front fenders for it also!!! here is a shot of it home in the shop... i will clean it up and then tuck it away in the back of the barn until i can get to it!

 

[Old Iron]

Very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like a killer project.....keep us advised...[P

Always thought they were rather unique looking. Gasser with a blower, what else could a man want.[dr

Boy do I envy you ! Love Henry J's, especially in gasser form. You have had 4 of them prior to this one ? I think that is illegal. What ?? Did all the Henry J's made end up in MN ?

i love Henry J's also... i have the one i just bought... and i also have another 51, i have been working on a little in between other projects that make me some money. that one is on a 2wd s10 blazer chassis and floor pan that is bagged, sbc, a/c.......but it will be all stock looking outside with all the trim/chrome and some wide whites

I bet. Looks like they were ready to insert some rectangular tubing into those stubs and straight axle it.
