Henry Links

HENRY LINKS including vendor sites for parts and tools as well as sites for Ford organizations

RESTORATION LOG includes log entries of repairs and restoration between the time of purchase at Barrett-Jackson and the present.

Necessity is the mother of invention and time is my most precious commodity so, if I can find the info, parts and tools I need on the Internet, I'm that far ahead of the game. I suspect there are many links for early Fords out there. I just have to find them. There is some duplication of BillyBob's TRUCK LINKS, Renegade's JEEP LINKS and BettyLou's MOPAR LINKS here for convenience (where those links could also apply to Henry).

THE EASTWOOD COMPANY

I've purchased so many special finishes and tools from Eastwood for my work on BillyBob that some readers have accused me of being a sales rep for them. My experience with them has been good and I will keep purchasing from them for my work on all three vehicles.
