Cars/projects you bought or saved in 2008!!!

dragged this home in september 54 chevy 3100



here id where its at today

 

I bought this '51 Merc M1 truck last February...

 

well i bought 2 58 chevy trucks and a 51 Buick this year

 

an old 53 Ford convertible, saved from the crusher. Cool thing about this car is that I owned it in the 70's, and sold it in '77. Found it with the help of this site, 31 years later. A lot of work has been done since this pic was snapped, and I will post later on the rebuild progress. Happy new year everyone!!

 

I found a 65 c-60 chevy to help restore one of my biz trucks to its old glory too stupid to post pics but i will try

 

Saved these two..

'48 Ford 2-dr.. parted it out, got the parts I wanted and made some $ in the process.



Got this one from the same junkyard... now it's about #20 in line for future projects..

here are some crappy shots of my 08 find and hopefully we'll have it ready for dragfest. Doin alot of the work at blackboard hotrods, my buddy Gary has been really cool about lettin me mess with it there and take advantage of his tiggin skills.

 

Yes please!! We are overdue for an update on your progress!

 

Found in a barn in Wis purchased a motor from a member here on the HAMB out of Muscatine Iowa, picked up other items on the HAMB and drove it for the first time Jan 1st 2009. Will try to make the Polar Bear Run Feb 1st if we can get some kind of heat in it. Original cost 900 on the road total cost about 2000, fun and comroderie with HAMB members that helped along the way ....Priceless.

 

just picked this before the end of the year. not sure where to go w/ it yet?

 

Now that is a cool story. The first-ever custom car I ever saw in real life as a 10 year old kid, was a custom 52-54 conv sitting at a stop light....maybe around 1961 or so.

 

I pulled this cab and box out of a dump. I also rescued this 28 Dodge Coupe. The 34 I have made some progress on late last year (built a frame, chopped the top) but the Coupe I just got the end of December. I have a top for it but I need to get started on it.

 

I dragged this '60 Rambler American home, have obtained a 2.3 turbo banger to put in it.

 

Bought this little bad boy. Painted it all black. Wheels. Tires. Looking at interior for 2009. And hanging new front fenders.

 

I accumulated all this since spring 08. When I'm done I should have 2 complete F1's and a 54 Bel Air.

 

I picked up this old Dodge pickup off Craigslist in July. My first old vehicle.

 

Bought this 51 chevy in July for 500 bucks from a guy in southern MD

then 2 months later bought the 2007 Malibu SS after my truck was totaled

1930 Coupe (w/ 31 firewall at the time). Needs little. Most of the problem areas are areas where it's going to be customized. 32 inner fenders, body molded around 32 tank, etc.

I did a post on this before trying to be sneaky to see if anyone would ask about the motor but nobody picked up on it. This time I'll include a good motor shot after I got it home and cleaned off. This 40 PU had sat in this spot for 30 years, I got the title with it too!

 

Picked up my 1931 Chevy from Indiana in March


A '51 Chrysler New Yorker in April (for the engine)


1926 Ford Roadster bought this fall


I also bought a '30 Model A Pickup cab but I gave that to my brother a couple weeks ago.

Very thankful for what I have been able to receive this year. Now if I could just find that '36 5W.

 

1960 Squarebird... low mileage but was obviously stored poorly.

 

All I got in 2008 was a front half of a '24 Willys touring. I want to build a little modified out of it. Now the seach for parts has started.

Somehow I ended up dragging this '55 Desoto into my yard Thanksgiving weekend. Not much progress as of yet- just trying to get the brakes functional again and collecting parts to convert it to 12 volt negative ground. Plan is to have it back on the road by May so I can drive it to a friend's wedding.

 

I bought this in the begining of the year



And turned it into this by fall and have been driving it daily.






I bought this this fall but haven't made much progress yet.

 

Is that it???

 

My '60 wants to be your '60... real bad.
