I'm going to do this build using parts from an old junk yard box I found in the attic. The only thing not from the box so far is the tires, as I couldn't find a decent set. Here goes. It's the late 40's and and young fellow going into his last year of high school. He just got his driving permit and wants a car. He's been saving up for a while now. doing a paper route and when he was old enough started working a a gas station pumping gas and doing simple things to help the owner/mechanic and learning more about cars. He's ready to start looking in yards to see what he can afford, and the station owner told him he could work on the car at the station on his off time. He goes to the yard that the station does business with and looks around, find two cars that he could afford. He love to do the older Ford with the flathead V-8 and chopped top, but there aren't enough parts there. The newer Ford has a lot more parts there, and the is a larger selection of parts for it on hand in the yard. The interior is there and complete, plus is is nice shape. His choice is easy and he goes with the newer Ford. He spends some time scrounging around the yard for some other pieces and near the end of the day leaves with a nice start for his car. He knew he wanted to go fenderless. so he pulled the fenders off and the yard gave him a few bucks off in return.
