picked up my next project

Over the weekend I picked up my next project a 35 3 window. It is rough but it is what I wanted. I am dealing on a full set of fenders from the guy I got the car from. The frame and the floors are solid. The first 2 pics are where I found the car, the guy was using it as yard art. I tried to buy the car a couple of times but he wouldn't sell it. One day he called me and told me if I came and picked it up I could have it!
I wish I could get started on it now but I have to finish my pu first. I'm just glad it is home and inside now. I can't deside if I should make it a hotrod or a custom. I am leaning toward a custom though.

 

Sweet score. Looks like a good starting place.

 

that rocks and the price was right , please post some build pics when you get to it

 

HOT ROD! but that's me. Great start for sure.

I bought a decent grille, which is now hanging in my bedroom

 

dreamy .. i'd take that 35 any day!

 

found a decklid and paid to much for it. oh well at least I have one now

 

Looks like a real good start, wish I would have got as many parts attached to my 36 3w

 

Hot rod !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Custom!

 

Hot rod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yard art. I thought that first picture looked a bit too good to not have been staged. Even got a train in the background.

Good score, a very fixable car and well worth the effort. Price was right too.

 

Hot Custom.....er ah, yea

 

That's exactly what I thought! The picture is too good not to finish the car and take it back there for an "after" shot!

 

BEAUTIFUL start !

 

I'll take that yard art off your hands. Sweet score.

 

Nice score. I know exactly where that was sitting......glad it is going to be built. I vote custom.

 

That'll be so sweet. Talk about motivation to get your pickup done! I second the custom vote.

 

Yours is a piece of cake comparied to what I am starting with Danny.

 

hey FOMOCO...that shows how nice you must be! i think the man wanted to do a nice thing, for a nice person! man [ love these kind of stories. reminds me of the 50s. after WW2 people realy showed kindness for each other. those were the day's my friend. call me POP...or the old FART!

 

very cool man, good luck

 

That's plenty solid for a start. Another vote for custom!

 

It'll end up being a custom... I vote something close to Bob Peirson's '36 coupe.

 

I have some pics of your car that I took there as well. Billy is a really nice guy. Not short on cars, that's for sure. Kudos to him for p***ing it on. Pat
