    Here's some more pictures of the roadster bodies we got. Tanner (T_wood_08) bought the roadster on the frame and I bought the old race car body. We're shootin for late 40's early 50's style cars. Thanks Sam

  5. MAN! That's better than gold. Great find. Glad they will be put to good use. There's a lot of old iron around Wentachee. They still use old trucks in the orchards around there.

    I think I have been to that place when I lived up in Wa. I think that guy has property out of town with a lot of good stuff too. Seems to me he had some 32 and 34 roadster stuff at one time hidden away. Great score.

    Got one roadster mocked up today. I'm going for a look kind of like this, but with the windshield stanchions chopped.

    I feel like a guy who has just watched someone else win the lotto. But, I'm stoked for you.... sweet score. And I'm always glad to see hidden treasure being brought back into circulation.

    Hey, somethings wrong here. How come Chris didn't find that stuff?:rolleyes:. Ck on the Golden Wheels Fraternity web site. There is a picture of a '30 or '31 A track roadster running at Seattle in the early '50s. Might be the same one!

    I really dig the color of the wheels you have it mocked up with. What do they call it? Looks kind of like coffee with creamer in it.

    The wheel color is matched to the wheels that are on jim benitez's 32 sedan that was in Street Rodder awhile ago. Sam
