John Cross's 1928 Ford Roadster

The car was bought in Ballarat Victoria in March 1993 and was virtually as is except for:

    1)  Some mechanical modifications.
    2) The whole car was panel beated & painted  (1 & 2 took about 18 Months).
   3)  The Hood irons, bows & rag top were made from scratch ( Took about another 18 Months)-
         Mainly time preparing the body for the rag top.
    4) Have still got the car.
