Henry J "Project Car"

Evidently someone lost interest. Note the door panels. I can not figure out what the thru bolting instead of a shock is all about on the front end.

Usually the all-thread is used during construction of the car to position the car at final ride height (without the front springs installed).

Dash board and guage cluster indicate it's a '53 not a '52. Has a '51 hood ornament, which is often seen on the later cars. Factory radio too - unfortunately the buttons are all crumbled and knob missing. I do like the color.
