I have never owned a 7 but am interested in building a replica some day if time allows. I have built several custom motorcycles and as I have aged I have switched to hot rods. My son and I built a 32 Ford coupe started when he was thirteen and finished 12 years ago. He also has a 50 Studebaker that we are in the process of updating with a new engine. I have a 29 Ford pickup with S-10 running gear and mustang 2 front suspension. I am currently working on a 23 roadster. The first 7 I saw was in a Poplar Mechanics about 1962 or 63. I was about 12 and was smitten with the idea of a car you put together yourself.
