LARRY HENDERSON's 51 Henry J Project I have recently aquired 2 Henry J's. One has been chopped and modified1
considerably and not very professionally at that, so I found one in Illinois
that was all original and was going to use it as a donor car. After receiving
the original one from Illinois I decided to re-do the original one and set
the modified one aside. I may very well put the modified one up for sale, less
the engine, trans and interior. I haven't decided as of yet. Both are 1951's. The black one has been chopped and has a tilt front end. Original frame with a nova front clip set up for big block chevy engine. Probably will sell the black one in pieces as is. The green one turned out to be in very good shape and this is the one that is currently under construction. It was running and driveable when I got it about three weeks ago. The engine is the original 6 cylinder and it will be for sale also, as well as the transmission. I will send more photos as the work progresses. <larry@jrconstructioninc.net> Date: Wed, May 25, 2005 9:03 am |
