I brought this car from a friend of my father (Jack) from a fellow by the name of Ed Thornander.  Ed had planned on restoring the car but time and interest for a project of this size looses its shine after a while.  I have become good friends with Ed and his wife Jan.  I hope to have this car in the Crystal Frolics Parade.  

My wife and kids are very supportive and are getting more and more excited as the car trans forms.

I hope to have the project done by 2010 just in time for the Twin Cities Model A Ford Club 50th anniversary.
