When Dave Cobb first set eyes on this ’39 Ford, it was under dim, flickering light and the car didn’t seem to need much work. But that changed after he got it home and began working on it. In the end, Dave replaced, rebuilt or upgraded just about everything: new paint, upholstery, transmission and rear end, plus a larger engine that cranks out about 425 hp.
“I planned to have it done in a few months. That turned into 4 years.” — Dave Cobb
