Finally got to see the finished car on display after volunteering a lot of time restoring the suspension and driveline. Its really an amazing vehicle and if you're in Dearborn, take the time to visit the Henry Ford Museum.

Some of my pictures of the restoration work:

it was 4 wheel drive...I'm still hoping to get a car out to the Salt flats to run a legal top speed test - too bad I won't get near 400 MPH!
