I been calling my old Ford by the name Henry this year. Its his new name. I came up with Henry because I am making it a modified Ford but still all Ford. No GM parts on this car. So it will Ford all the way. It is a car Henry Ford would be proud of.

Work before January was all body work, an all-over paint job.
