It's interesting, but there appears to be a whole lot "janky", as we used to say, with that thing.
I'd be afraid to buy someone else's not-quite-done project.

X2. I wouldn't like the exhaust coming out of the headers that close to my feet.

Hot rod B? Sounds like fun.
That hot rob B? Let's just say that if I was going to have a hot rod B, I'd prefer to brew my own.

Oh brother Jay! Another Mr. Doom n' Gloom! I'd rather see one like that than see it go to the junk heap or for scrap! With over 100,000 units produced, once in a while ya gotta' have a hotrod B in there somewhere ya know? Would do ya expect? The poor thing has been sittin' in a shed for 5 years. Its gonna have a little rust here n' there sheesh! LOL!

Hay Steve
what can I say.. I'm getting old(64+)...OK..somebody, not the seller, started a project but it's no where near 'done up'. Paint and lipstick aside ,just HOW does a thirsty V8 get enough gas in that itty bitty gasline through a sediment bowl ? 2-3 vrump,vrumps and it'd starve !
to top it off, Shameless is back and got the machine up and running AND pointing MY way ! arrghh..

hmmm... I have a '50 ford custom on my refurb list here. 2 door with huge back seat. maybe I'll swap engines with one of the 8N's and see how that works...
then again, maybe not.  |

3 Ford 8N's I loan to neighbors, but the '52CA, '41B and little B1 I do not.

Jay, I got ya beat. I'm 65+- what's that got to do with anything. You make yourself sound like an old coot. Heck, Dick L. has us both beat and he's still havin' fun! No problem feeding that beast. A 3/8" steel fuel line and a fuel pump that moves 4-5 psi. No problem! Might have a little problem gettin' her stopped. Plenty of GO! Not enough Whoa!! Might havta' add some juice brakes!

thanks steve, if anybody has old issues of old allis news. about 15 or 18 years ago there is 2 page article of history of BUDS B. been busy last 10 years, new young guys next door had cookout last summer and had motorcycles and hotrods and beer, thought I'd show them what old hot rod looked like rolled it out of storage, blew cobwebs off her, added fuel, ran file thru points, stole battery out of something else and took off. young guys got big kick out of her. stainless lugnuts on rear are what she got after coming out of long sleep.

The biggest problem I see is that's an awful lot of weight on that poor wishbone front axle. Would worry about it collapsing on me.
