Are ther no RAT RODDERS in the midwest?I was wanting a frame for a '34 3 window ford of mine and this was on ebay- I decided to bid the opening bid and arranged transport just in case it was affordable..... Well I put it on my favorites and thought -FAT CHANCE even a hacked up frame would be something I should consider buying. I tuned in about ten minutes to the end of sale and was still hi bid at 50.00! so I began the click/refresh part of the last 20 seconds.....and low and behold I was ready for him and two buddys to shill it up to his Idea of what he wanted.... And damn! guess what? A newbie bidder started hacking it up a dollar at a stroke in the last ten and only bumped it up to [[[[[[[$54.00$!!!!!!!-I cant believe I bout anything for that Its a frame /entire front ssuspension and a tourqu tubr rear with both springs!
[ QUOTE ] uncut wishbone- what year guys???? [/ QUOTE ] Looks like a model A wishbone and front axle too. Good buy on the frame though, it looks like something I would start with Neal
Make sure you kiss the guy after it is loaded up and before you leave for home. It's customary when this kind of act is consumated. You lucky dog!!!! Nice score.
Believed to be a 34 frame -said it was from a 34 pickup...its in Fort Worth Texas. I already secured BEN D to haul it home from Day of the Drags on the 3 Oct. I dont have pics of my bodies -a 5W and a3W but they are kinda ratty
That is a good score. I prefer to work with old frames even if they require a lot of work. They just look better under the kind of cars most of us here build. There's something about looking under a cool patined old body and seeing a fabricated frame that turns me off. I understand that you sometimes have no option when your building a total cartoon car, I'm talking about a basic stock body look. Frank
Not too bad! I got my complete '32 V8 ch***is from the junkyard for $25, though. The engine was missing, but they delivered it for free. Oh, yeah, that was in 1969...
dude, I saw that and was at work otherwise I would have bought it. A friend of mine called me to tell me about that deal. good for you man!
HE!That kinda makes up for me HOSEING myself when I bought that30 Roadster body I bought! Yeah Gooch I was afraid that some one with some sense would remember the auction!
Damn! You're building high dollar rods now??? Glad to see that sweet body standing on end in the shop about to go to good use!
If'n it's an A wishbone , I'd be interested in taking it off your hands. Been looking for one that hasn't been cut! THX!
Yeah Hack-I didnt show ya the whole stash!- that Vertical stored body you mentioned has been traded to another HAMBer and is going to a good home,I have two other Ford bodies I intend on hanging onto for a while
