Living in the city you can't have too much iron laying around. The municipal yard nazis have been after me a couple of times because I have tractors at my place for the winter. So last fall I found this little Ford. Not running. But I got it cheap thinking I'd get it running for resale. And stashed it at my buddy's house in another burb.
