Great job, well done

Is that faded original red oxide primer on the front grill ??

h1zelmann · Post by **h1zelmann** » Wed Aug 08, 2018 10:39 pm

Hello Mark 1,

i think, that it is a original red oxide primer on the front grill, and it was never varnished, because there ist no colore under this red and no color over this red. It is a Ford stamped grill, so i say that i dont know however ist wos never paintet for more than 70 years, but i cant take the responsibility to do it now.
That's why he's red!!!

.... and i like him so much!!!
regards

Hello,

Hold on there Pilgrim !!!!

Is that thing a PTO device for a Ford GPA ?

viewtopic.php?t=254998

I think it is !!
Looks to be a nice chunk of valuable change

Check the barn and the woods around the farm for the GPA !!!!!

Best Regards,
Ray
