Hot Rods Damn, what are the odds? '31 FORD CAB SMASHED

great things will happen keep on dreaming.

 

If you were closer I'd offer to take it off your hands, I'm a sucker for a basket case. I don't believe in parts cars!

 

Take a look at pg. 6 dude!!! It's coming along!

 

Wow! It looks great! Pity the fool that don't think that's cool as fuck!

 

Real cool. He's like a pitbull on the mailmans ass, he aint letting go. I love roadster pickemups.

 

Well I'll be damned...what a tale!

Good luck to your brother...he's the man~!!

 

I remember one time these guys were messing around in the truckstop out in cali and tried stealing a coil of sheetmetal off a flatbed with a pickup truck...

 

A guy I used to know Ryan had a real cool flat white roadster pickup that he crashed and isn't around anymore. I will look for a pic of it...that should give some inspiration!

Good work, good save, good lesson!

EDIT::: found it!

here's an earlier incarnation from Rolls & Pleats #10

And the White version from Rolls & Pleats #21

 

Ollin,

Perfect!

Seriously....This is what its about....

These are good people...reminde me of growing up in Pittsburgh...heart and soul....

Fuck it ....just try and keep em down....

Genuine.....

 

Looks even better after the accident. I think the roadster look is much better. Will be a great story for the grandkids.....

 

Thanks fellas!!! I talked to my brother last night and he was pretty pumped about the way things are heading now. He's really digging it with the top off and thinks that everything can be squared up just fine.

Funny how this is all progressing.

 

Man That's terrible! I feel like crying.....

 

Like everyone says ,I always strap them down better safe then sorry.I think He just wanted to get it home ,and got in a hurry, bummer!! I've done body work all my life and theres nothing you can't fix with metal and a welder,even if you start with just the gas cap .Stand back see what you still have and start again ,it will just be even better! Good Luck You'll make it!!

 

well it looks like theres a good recovery from this but i'll post one that popped up in the Iwanna this week...
1932 ford pickup project. cab, doors, bed, front fenders. needs patch panels, needs restoration. call only if you can weld and do body work. $1000.

theres also a 27 essex coupe listed a little close to me for $1500...ken....

 

Nice save.. That thing looked like it was toast..

 

I strap a pushmower down when in its in my truck! lol thats TERRIBLE! id b pissed! well it looks like he honed sum skills on it so the next truck will b better and easier!

 

That sucks

 

add me to the list of...i like the roadster look! good save!

 

That's crazy how shit work's out sometimes. I like it!

 

That sucks!!!!

 

MAN.... I can't even imagine how he feels right now!!! I feel bad for him!

 

I was offered a 32 truck cab complete and w/no if any rust for free, about 15 years ago. Back them I wonderd why anyone would want it...my, things have changed.

I would almost bet it's still in the same field, as no one can see it, and only about 3 people know it's there. I gusss I need to check on it.

 

I vote for a port-a-power and a RPU...........but I will say this, I lost an entire Dodge sedan off a trailer that WAS tied down with atv straps. That sharp ass metal just gave up the plot and it sawed right thru them.

Actually, Ragdoll lost it..........she was the one trailering it. =O)

 

i was always a fan of using 10,000lb straps to tow cars on the trailer....till one got cut halfway through. i think its actually illegal now to tow a car in california with tow straps. chains and binders all the way from now on!

 

There's always a silver lining......I like RPU's...

 

Damn, that put a knot in my stomach! Looked like he had done some nice work on that cab too.

 

this really sucks!!!!!!!!and theres gotta be smart asses about it ,,,wow man i feel for yaaa

 

Ok, I think its about time for an update..

 

I agree .Somebody Pm him.
