    Hey guys: I recently sold my '32 pickup and ran a cl***ified for parts for my '34 Cabriolet.(on the Hamb) I heard from a couple of you, including someone claiming to be from Ontario Ca. His name in the e-mails is Frances Flores. I was asking about door parts and He responded that they had one they were getting ready to dis--mantle. ???!!!! I told my wife there is no way you dis--mantle a '34 cabriolet unless it is burned or wrecked beyond recognition. WELL, I got a picture yesterday in a new e-mail of a pristene un-restored '34. I'm telling myself this is nuts!!! to good to be the truth. They wanted a complete list of what I needed. So, I played along. I want the top of the doors from the belt line up/deck lid/inner fenders/top irons and windshield frame. My tight fisted price would be @ $3000.00 for that stuff. How about $400.00 including shipping??!!!!!! Yep, they said just send the money via Western Union or money gram. Do you need to know anymore? Tim

    There is no limit to their stupidity, and unfortunately if they are still at it then that means there are even bigger dumb ***es out there.

    Plodge: I'm not wasting anymore time on them. Its a scam/hoax with no recourse. If it was a paypal deal I would already be on board. Tim

    I'm close to Ontario. Ask him for his address and tell him some one will come by to pay for and pick up parts. You'll never hear from him again.
