My cool woods find!!

I realize it't not exactly a hot rod, but I thought you guys would get a kick out of my cool woods find. I told one of the plumbers at work that i was building a Model A ford frame. He said "Oh yea, I know where there are two". I got there and this is what i found. Definately not a model A, but just as cool. Its a 1957 Chevy Convertible frame Note the X member. Specific to convertables........


Bellhousing mounts.....

 

..just need to find the rest and you have a 57 convert.

 

yeah i agree..

 

kool none the less

 

If that's a Vette I'll be insurance job years ago.?

 

its a start..

 

sold a regular 2 door post frame for like 250 on egay, id say the x frame is worth quite a bit more.

 

Ran when parked?

 

One owner cream puff!

 

Yeah the vert frame has got to be worth $$,grab it and flip it on E.

 

You guys are something else. I love the HAMB..

 

When was the last time you guys had to fire up the chainsaw to work on your car???

 

ha , thats good **** i no where there a 57 frame in the woods makes me wanna go get it ,

 

It would make a great wall hanger till you find a body?

 

Aren't the x members on wagons also?? My brothers Pontiac wagon has the x member. I think it would be the same animal.

 

Yea, but what's the owner gonna say when he comes back and finds it missing????

"I was gonna restore it someday"

Cool find. You keeping it or flipping it?

 

X-member was only on converts.



As for building the '57 convert, except for the cowl and dash ya' can buy every part to make one. They even make a repo X-member to go in a stock frame.

Still a neat find. I like the chainsaw as a tool!!

 

Poke around some more. I suspect the other bits may be buried under some leaves or were dragged off by wild animals. I once found a woodchuck den lined with stainless bits from a Mercury Turnpike Cruiser.
