Old Tin found in Woods,bushes,behind a barn etc lets see the pics maybe even before a

I love to see the storys of " I found her in a stream and look at her now". So what have ya got lads!! PICS PLEASE

 

I picked this up back a logging road on some property an old boss bought.Ended up giving it to the best man at my wedding as a gift.Its now on a modified S10 frame with a fuel injected 302 Ford in it.Last time Isaw it it was covered in dust and cobwebs!By the way its a 35 Dodge PJ coupe.

 

...the only reason I'm playing is cause this body WAS found in a creek on its roof, drivers side down. What looks like bondo is actually some kind of all-metal. This, and the brown primer, was all that was holding the metal together. Had to find original steel to repair with. Basically the entire drivers side was toast...but look at her now...amazing what 5 pounds of $100 dollar bills will accomplish... ...before-Feb '05...after-Feb '06...

 

Here's one I found IN A barn ...

 

larry your 32 is drop dead gorgeous, i know you probably get that all the time but i ****ing love your car

 

I agree very nice32. Any chance we could see a today pic of the Dodge coupe

 

Heres mine, was found in Colorado by hamber Primo, and put together by him.

Flint front half, Dodge bros back half.

Anybody can build a '32 3Window, it takes a real man to fall in love with a '32 Vicky, and save her!

 

Found in the woods in Southern Ontario. Originally from Saskatchewan. Before and after......

Well, I sorta found this one in a barn, 20 years after it sat in a field and then 22 more years in the barn. Unfortunately, I was the guilty party that put it in both places.
Sorry, but I did the same thing to my 41 Chevy coupe and a 56 Chevy Hardtop. Marriage and children change priorities.

dug this out the 4th of July 05. - $370.00 in it total with my gas to drive 5 miles to get it. 2 32 for grill & shells came with it.

 

heres another.
a 1934 ford that would take a 'REAL MAN' to save this one. we hacksawed a hunk off this one & got some good garnish mldgs.

 

... you're just a glutton for punishment, Bob...

 

Wish it was in my barn... well, guess I would need a barn...

 

This one sat in a barn for 40 year - a birddog buddy of mine found it - I bought it and am doin her up right.

 

both come a long ways

 

i saved this from becoming a flower bed....now it sits and waits for me to have the room to work on it...

 

I bought this a few years back from a guy who thought it would be to hard to save.
It was in his "shop" in a REAL small town about 3 hours south of me.
I didn't ask him where it came from, but i'd bet it was some field or something similar..
Next year HOPEFULLY this will be on the road.

I saved this from being cut up and stuffed down a mine shaft. 22 Dodge Brothers........I use it as a shop towel rack. I won't do anything with it, some wife bartered for it for her husband........he can have it when my towels are dry.

 

The guy was right!! Boy,did he see you coming!!! I will come and get it and dispose of it properly.

 

Hahaha..
Here's the best part. The guy contacted a company who made gl*** body's to buy one, and they offered him 3000 for this one on 'trade' for one of thiers..they said they wanted to use this as a mold..ummm, prolly not ..
so i paid what they offered...

Once in a lifetime thing for me..

This one will be left to my next of kin when i croak

 

Are you done already!?!? Damn you work fast!!!

( OOPS ... )

I left off the caption ... It should have said ... will look like this hopefully ...




I have been real busy but NOT that busy ... I am further along that the 2 recent photos SHOW ... Motor and transmission in ... exhaust ran and all the lines installed ... fitting the body and doors ...

 

It looks like you used the old" honey can I used the mattress for something really productive". My wife didnt think it was funny either.
Thats what chairs are for, I told her.

 

Not bad guys. Thats a pretty good start...Anybody else? It's amazing what people can bring back to life again

 

I'll have to find a pic of it when we brought it home but the 28 my father and uncle built was found out in a swamp. This particular swamp was behind a model A restoration shop. the shop through the body back there 17 years before my uncle found it and we brought it back to life.

 

You might remember this '34 from last February. It last saw the road in '58.
It now lives in the San Francisco area...
