    kiddo you must know the old man pretty well because he doesn't sell stuff very often. when i was there in feb. when the 56' caddy convert. was sitting out front it looked like they had been doing some work, bet the city is puting pressure on the old boy again. he was friends with my uncle when they had the grocery store in south wenatchee in the 70's. he has some really cool stuff stashed in other places that i remember seeing,sure wish my uncle was around to stop in and visit. you guys need to go back and take some more pic's (these ones were great) and really blow some minds! s**** he has to be damm near 90+!

    That is cool.
     
  11. Congrats on the find and finishing the deal. How many guys are wishing they had pics of their projects being rescued in their infancy. I never usually think to take pics until I get home. Hold on to those pics, they're keepers!

    Very neat pictures.....especially with the mountains in the background. Those are some pretty damn solid bodies. And an Auburn dash? What a score!

    Probably didn't get the Auburn dash without buying the hole car it's attached to, Bruce doesn't like parting things out..................

    We got two roadster bodies. One with the frame I bought and the other my buddy bought it. Both of us are planning to do a 40's style hot rods. No we didn't get the auburn dash(i wish). It was in a car right next to my roadster so we thought we should take a picture. They should be some fun projects.
