Charlie Bradway's '38 Ford  

This just in from Charlie Bradway  down in Florida. Here's what Charlie has to say about his '38. I bought this car in February in need of finishing and some TLC.  It's a rare '38 Ford Standard. This car is all steel and I haven't found any evidence of body repair work. It has a Camaro front clip with a Nova rearend.  Stock 350 engine with Edelbrock Performer manifold and 1406 carb.  I had the turbo 350 rebuilt and added a 400 torque converter and a shift kit.  Rear suspension was all but falling off which made the car very unstable.  I also have to go back and install a wiring kit as well as new gauges.  The originals are still in the dash but not functional.  This is where I needed to start for lack of the proper workshop.  I can be happy to know that this will soon be a much better car than the one I drove home in February.  Hope you enjoy the pics as much as I do sharing them.  Catch me at the Saturday Night Cruises in Oldtown @Kissimmee, FL.
