Sawzall in the SEMA Driving Force Newsletter

Hey - Just saw this in the SEMA Newsletter. Thought I would p*** it along.

Best, MRAK


Hey, That's My Car!

The Ultimate Recycler

1940 Ford Woodie
Owner: Jeff “Sawzall” Yeagle
Phoenixville, PA

I have always felt that hot rodders and restorers are the world’s ultimate recyclers. My newest project is the epitome of that philosophy.

Ironically this project started in 1998 when I bought my first ’40 Ford sedan. Since the completion of that car in 2000, it has provided thousands of miles of enjoyable trouble-free driving. Since then I have purchased enough “spare parts” that by the summer of 2007 I had enough stuff to build another one. However, the ultimate “spare parts deal” came last fall at the AACA national meet in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where I was able to purchase all the wood components from a ’40 Ford Woodie Wagon.

I’ve dubbed the car “Recycled” because I intend to use ONLY recycled parts in its resurrection, with a few important exceptions, of course.

I have even started a blog to chronicle the restoration progress. Fellow SAN members can check it out at http://recycled40fordwoodie.blogspot.com.

 

HEY!

thanks!

I got mine today too..

I guess I better do a post up about the project..

it should start looking like a car again soon..

 

So..um...how does an Amish sandblaster work anyway? Do they throw the sand really hard or use some sort of blowtube?

 

cool - just saw Sawzall on Sunday. Cool to see a local guy get some recognition.

 

good job jeff

 

I think they feed it to a cow and then back the cow up to the part....

 

Cool!! I just read about it in the SEMA Newsletter. Nice Jeff.

 

Congrats Jeff, looking pretty good. later shawn

Well I guess we'll have to have an appointment to talk to Sawzall at the JalopyShowdown

 

Hey my pleasure. It was cool to see your project in there. Also knowing the story about the wood I couldn't help but post this!

Sorry I couldn't make the bar on Sunday, I was out in LI at some family stuff. Hopefully we can meet up at the Showdown.
