"Hey, Joe! Look, another HEMI..." That was the war cry, last weekend. My dad came up and we searched out (and bought) five complete HEMI engines. What a blast! Just like bein' a kid, again... Here's the haul... Yeah, my Dodge has a HEMI in it. We got two parts engines, too, a mess of heads, crank... etc. I grabbed this '34 sedan in a seperate deal, and we picked it up, along with the engines. The touring backs came from another place, also, where I bought (not pictured) a Model-A frame with cowl, a Model-T tudor body, a Dodge Brother's cowl... and a huge pile of cowls, panels, doors, grille shells... And... put somethin' down on a '28 Pontiac coupe (sport coupe style, with solid top doors and no roof) and a '30 Pontiac fordor. Both original, complete, and rolling on wood spokes. Look at the cool curves on this one. It came with doors! This one we stole from Al Capone... No shit! Check out the bullet holes, and if you would have seen the cliff it was at the bottom of.... Here's a shot I like... And these......are in another place. Some of which, will soon be at MY place. Dad thinks he can fix this one. "... if we could just get it two miles to the road." I'm pretty sure we totaled more than 20 ticks, between the two of us... we were in some deeeeeep forest.... but what a great couple of weekends spent with dad. Top it off with a ton of "loot" and it made for a bunch of great memories... JOE
awesome scores. if i may ask how much do you have to give for a hemi up your way? the yards are nutjobs around here. hey i just got some doors via randy d for 32 sedan. joe do you have any 32 sedan bodies for sale missing any doors? thanks drew
Drew- The cheapest one was $700... We worked a "package deal" though. As far as the doors, the Deuce I'm working on has a boogered-up passenger door. Let me know how much you need for one. Was that you that had doors for sale "elsewhere"? I saw some "T" doors in Sycamore... JOE
they are still about a grand here. I actually am looking for a rough 32 sedan rusted on the bottom preferably with no doors now. hahaha later man keep an eye out and keep collecting good junk
hey JD32, My dad is currently working on a 38 chev coupe project and desperately needs a good set of doors, How nice are they on that coupe? and would you be willing to sell them?? would have to see what theyd ship for i guess first. aaron
Oh man, that's pretty awesome...wish I could find anything like that around here!! Theres no old cars anywhere around these parts at least none that you can pick parts from
[ QUOTE ] WoW! Neat chop on that Studebaker! lol [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, look at how the earth is just eating those cars. That Stude fell down around it's ass and hung itself. Check out this poor thing... As far as the Chevy coupe... I'd like to get it home and see what it looks like. I'm thinkin' it might make a nice HEMI powered gasser...? I love that tilted door pillar. For now, I think I'll hold onto it. JOE
