Yep, a 48 Ford Prefect I won on ebay today in Findlay, OH of all places (not far from where I lived a few months ago). I'll be out there Thanksgiving weekend to pick it up. I've been trying to hunt down a car like this for years and I finally got one :burnout:

Congrats!! That looks like lots of fun. We (my brother, dad and I) built my dad's 36 coupe that he bought in 1958. That was a blast. We used a Lincoln rear, Mustang front, 5.0, AT, Ranger Supercab interior and a Fox Cougar column, no Chevy parts on this one! My brother and I painted it the original color in his garage and we really like it. You have tons of options with your new baby and I am sure you're going to love working on it. Good luck!!
