    I always hesitate before I make a post like this, As I don't want it to come off as being a bragger,.... but I like to share this stuff with my HAMBer pals.

    A week ago we were rearranging the furniture in our bedroom,... when I went to move my dresser I noticed a business card kind of stuck between the joints that make up the back of the dresser,.... It was one of my old cards, but on the back it said, "34 3/W body rough" and then a phone #,..... this card was at least 3 years old, but I thought I would call anyway.

    Sure enough he still had it,..... wanted to get rid of it soon,.. I got there today and took a look,... yep it is rough, (for 3 to 5 years ago), but I liked it just fine ! And I just happen to have a 34 Ford Ch***is I built up with nothing on it,..... Today I was the windshield !:D

    Nice find, looks very save-able. I would have probably looked at the card, laughed about the time gone by, and thrown it away without calling.
     
  5. You must be living right! I wouldn't change the look of that coupe for a long while.

    Amazing that it was still there. Good for you.

    I don't count it as bragging UNLESS that is too rough for you. ;)
    Around these parts if you can tell what once was.. you have a perfect find.
     
  20. So where's the rough one?

    That's how it was described to me years ago when I got the phone # in the first place,..... today was the first time I ever seen it,... in fact the pictures were taken about 10 minutes after I got there,.... and about 9 minutes after I bought the body :cool:.

    (Trust me,. I am very pleased with this body, the garnish moldings and dash are in great shape, almost all the wood is solid, he had a extra floor and firewall that came with it,.... :))

    Ok.. then you are off the hook with the "rough" comment.
    But there are 2 words to describe someone like you and povertyflats...
    "Not me"
