 but parts have to go, so load some up for the swap meet..

 home brew salt racer/speedster they are finishing up..

 early F series made into uni-body, as well as giving it a chop n raked A and B pillars for a Crown Vicky sort of style..

 spare water jacket hemi lying around..

 and more race bits on the shelves..

 and rear ends..

 and wheels..and valve covers....they have the parts bins full!!

 over to dallas to visit George Owens...he now owns Les Ws old 34 pickup

 and he has a couple of cars for sale as well..

 this 48 was sorta stock, has a Muskrat front suspension...running, driving, $9000 from memory...or a bit extra for the multi carb setup that can go with it..

 This was straight...and stock..and priced reasonable..$12,000 from memory..

 If you have any interest, we can chase up the contact details..

 Doug "Alloway" inspecting a purchase...a NOS 34 Ford rear fender..

 so, skip ahead a day, and we are in Houston at Bruces Rod Shop

 showroom full of Deuces was a sight to see..

 CMG paint on the pickup was spot-on..

 nice work on a more door 32..

 shop projects..

 here's the pickup..very nice..

 nice inside as well

 had to check out the size...it seemed perfect for a 32 fender..

 aggressive..

 bodies awaiting their turn..

 came across so many early Ford bodies this trip...

 and in really good shape, most of them..

 look at this coupe....must have been a restored car to start off..

 the workmanship on this Mustang was some of the best I have seen..

 boss motor with billet injection thingies..

 cant remember why I took this...maybe it was the fact that the outer shell doesn't come in contact with the inner..

 lots more desireable wheels in the Burroughs collection

 and a rare 32 down on its luck...needs a rebirth.....one day!

look at all the neat touches here..

 and here..

 back in the showroom..

 strategic shot of the front garage area..

 back to George Owens..rear sheds full of parts for future projects..
