Now here's a great story for Bill Cowan and myself...

 Here's one of those "Feel good" stories about early Fords, and about the 32 frame I just purchased from Bill...as you can see, he comes from a family of car lovers, especially early Fords...

 Along with his dad, Bill and his brother collected plenty of early Fords in the early years, and restored a lot of them...this A roadster is still in Canberra.

 Here's a nice 31 Roadster that now lives in Sydney...there was also an A tub that was a resto project for the family as well.

 But now...the juicy bit.....Bill wanted a 32 roadster..(don't we all?)....and his dad managed to find three in various conditions, but the one I want to focus on is this one...found on a farm in Grafton, and the frame from it is the one I now have, thanks to Bill deciding to part with it.

 Here's the day it came off the farm...hooked up to an A bar behind a pillarless 57 Chev, and flat towed all the way back to Grafton......what a cool sight to see, back in 1969.

 This is what a love.....here is the receipt for the purchase!...wow!.....look at that price!...Bill kept a few parts off this ute to build his roadster, and I now have the remains in my shed....just need to find a few bits to piece it back together!

 Coupla shots from Bill, as it had sat for for many years

 Lukitit....stripped of all it's goodies for Bills other 32 roadster.

 So, fast forward to the 2000s, and Bill had a frame constructed , then it was off to Warren Wilkie to get the bodywork in order.

 Note the Brookville flat firewall now, as this is a Ford powered Ford...with a little Windsor engine and auto having been fitted.

 Bodywork just about all done, now time for mechanicals.

Getting closer...these pics taken a month ago.....shouldn't be long before rego now.....amazing to think this car has been in Bills possession for 45 years now!

 Now to my part...Bill sold me everything that was spare, so now I have an early flattie to go in the frame....maybe....

 lotsa spare wheels..
