    So this followed me home over the weekend. I know its a 31 because it has the indented firewall. the roof is missing so a coupster it is. Was it a standard coupe, sport coupe or cabriolet?? Its an old hot rod, boxed frame and channeled. pretty rough work done to it. 1 smaller.jpg 2 smaller.jpg 3 smaller.jpg 4 smaller.jpg 5 smaller.jpg

    when you get it home, flip the cowl upright and take some more pictures, so we can see what you have. Posting pictures like that just makes it confusing.

    Looks like 31 cowl
    With a 28-9 back half. Sure looks nice and straight though.

    I think you're right. I didn't notice this at first. 28-29 back half and 31 cowl. Nice catch.

    Whats the goofy looking front end with wire wheels? Did you buy the mini bike too?

    It was some kind of independent suspension rear end. Don't know what it came out of. I didn't even notice the mini bike. Maybe I should go back and see if it is still there.

    I saw these, Not sure the route I'm going with this yet, one of those buy's I couldn't pass up. It would take a lot of haggling, pretty optimistic asking price.

    That rear end/alloy wheel, looks very much like an 83-84 Toyota Cressida.

    Probably won't be any garage sales in the winter but the Spanish Fork area has a lot of old iron still kicking around.

    Good score! I've never run across that kind of good stuff at the few garage sales I get to!
    That independent rear end is from a 90's Cougar.

    yeah, it is really odd that these days people think that the words sell and sale are interchangeable, when sale is typically a noun and sell is typically a verb... drives me nuts
