I keep going to post #78, something about that car does it for me!

 

thanks guys

 

Where did you find it? It looks vaguely familar??

 

i got it in southern colorado

 

I got my first one in 58. Good, solid running car. Paid $60 for it. Got my second one last week. Been sitting in storage since 1979. Not running. But relatively solid. And I paid to much. But worth it to be young again.

Nice score!

 

son of a bitch-i'm jealous. i'm still looking,.....

 

Great start Man, Theres NO goin' back now, once you've been bitten by the Model ''A'' bug you're HOOKED!

Nick.

 

Mmmm.....that's purdy.... Ain't it so nice when things like that happen? You find one that's 'just right'. Of course to be done to your liking but still.....Very cool!! Looks like a good strong body. Did the trunk lid come with it?

 

Looks solid, very little cancer. Congrats

 

looks great , nice score man!

 

Looks like a pretty good body to start with. Congrats, now you'll go crazy deciding on how you want everything!

 

welcome to the fun...join the Model A Group on here..lots of great info and people

 

yes i did get the trunk lid , the grill shell and some patch panels plus a title.

 

Awesome score, and you even took care of some of the legal crap too!! A title is underrated by a lot of people, that is until they have to get theirs squared away! Start a build thread and I'll be there

 

Great find good luck with your project . Post picts on the progress!

 

document your build with pics. thats the only thing i regret with my model a. have fun

 

is that the one in lamar, that was on craigslist? that looks like a nice score.

 

yep thats the one . the guy was super cool i called him and told him i wanted it and he said come and get it, so i said i couldnt get ther for a week do you want me to send you a deposit? he said no your word is all i need , so he held it for me, he said he had over 30 calls after mine hell he had three as we were loading it on the trailer. anyway just a great pearson to deal with plus a great story.

 

I think that is the one from Lamar. Glad to see a hamber score it.

 

Looks better then mine did when I got it..Heres how mine turned out

 

Great find, I am on my 2nd A was to young when I had my first

 

i hate you

 

Congrats man! best of luck with the build. . .

 

Looks like a sweet start

 

I remember that day! Good luck.

 

lucky....

 

good luck
