Hey guys ...ever wonder what what the heck you just did something for..??? Well last week i took delivery of a 30 ford sedan and a 30 ch***is. Here is what I got ... 30 Ford Frame separated from car. a 4 inch chop with great steel no holes ...not much rust suicided doors ****y tin firewall in place (has to go) roof welded No dash Radiator shroud no grill Head lights and light bar Original steel running board Fiberglas fenders front and rear Window tracks WIndow cranks Door handles front hood ...no side curtains BUmpers...I think A wiring harness type not known. Disc brakes and 8 inch drums for back No interior 30 chasiss ..real mess not salvagable..I think (will post pics when figure out how) There may be more odds and ends it was his sons who recently died so he is only somewhat familiar. Here is my situation... I have a single car garage presently 12 feet wide (expanding to 19 feet wide and 21 feet deep...have an old 60 amp service I can run out to it... Inventory of tools ...10 inch sears chop saw. misc household tools.. 6 vice grips ( man can never have enough). Just acquired 5 hp Eagle 150 psi 80 gallon single phase three cylinder compressor that is now 575 volts ...have to get it back to 220 ....which it was the guy changed it. Cost me 600 and a half tank of fuel for the company truck. Other than that I have no metal skills ...no suspension knowlege... no electrical skill...although 30 years ago I did a v-8 swap into my 57. and it ran.
