Kansas storage since 62'....A pair of Model A's

Hey Chris,

You have to admit God is good. You guys must be close because you
always come up with the kool stuff. Kan't wait to see the coupe on
the road.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Cool. Nice find Chris. Boy like you said, that would have been a long couple of days till they were on your trailer. Would have drove me nuts. Brian

 

That's great! Glad something that cool is happening to somebody.

 

Wow that's cool. Plans?

 

congrats, chris...

 

Good........found a couple of 97's and some parts for the coupe, and I met VAPHEAD and his buddy "Andy"......cool guys.

Yea, but when it rains it pours.......I met a guy this past Friday night who has a 28' Sedan and was member of the "Dragger's" car club from southern Kansas and asked me if I wanted his ole' plaque and other hotrod stuff from when he was younger.........heck, I did not even ask if the sedan was forsale, because I knew the price would be to good also.........

Could be Saturday morning and then sneaking to the "Dottie May's" car show on Sunday.........

 

That is the plans.......to hop-up the "Banger" and maybe pull the fenders and running boards mid-summer and then maybe a fall project of putting one of these darn 60 hp V8's that I have laying around........

 

Ican't believe you sold the sedan, a find like that and you give it up for money. You can get money at your job without a great find. Good luck with the coupe. GOLDY

 

My pop's got the sedan.......

 

Chris-

Them A's went to the right guys!! Congrats on the finds, and I hope to check progress when I'm out in KC next time.

PS- Since those cars have been sitting for so long, make sure to look under the seats, in the cracks, etc., for old papers, coins, notes-- All kinds of history gets lost in old cars- When we pulled my Model A apart, an 1898 coin fell out of the dash!

 

Dude, stinky score! Cool story and pics. Keep us posted with pics as you get'um on the road. How happy was your pops?

 

Wow, Chris!

What a find. Must be the car finding month of the year huh? LOL

Seriously, I think you deserve them and I'll be on the lookout for the progress.
Very good pics aswell.

dang! lucky! :0

 

Update.......

She fired and drove today.........hahaha........I sometimes cuss ole' Henry Ford and then I praise him at how simple he built stuff......

We tried to get the gal started a couple of weeks ago, but no spark........so today we had spark and the 6V battery was charged, but we could not get gas into the motor.......let's pull it the pops said.........Sure........ahh, ok.....well she fired up after a couple of times of being pulled to the end of the driveway and smoked like a firehouse from the Marvel Mystery oil that I had soaked the old gal with...........But, she runs and I have chicken skin on my arms and I am ready to hop-up the Banger and run her at the drags.........hahahhaha.........and drive it down there and back....

Fantastic find. I see you have trees in Kansas.

 

Great for you guys!
Those cars are solid.
Hell of a find. Congratulations!

 

Amazing how many style points you add with one whitewall and a shiny wheel disc!

 

Great find! I hope you have as much fun with your dad doing this car stuff as I do with my son (SO-AZ).

 

That is so cool you got it running. I'd love to find one like that. The fenders look good on the car.

 

You gotta just walk in the garage, flip on the light and go " Fuck yeah" every hour huh? !!! SCORE

 

Holy crap, sweet find!, I'm gonna get ahold of every near dead relative I know and see what's in their garages.

 

that marvel mystery oil is some good stuff!!

 

fantastic! I'm grinning just thinking about it all.

 

Sweeeeet!!!!!

 

Puff puff pass

 

I like the one new tire and Stude cap.

If you need a couple more Stude hubcaps let me know and I can bring them to the Drags.

 

HELL YEAH!!!! That is great stuff stuff man! Congrats and thanks for not just sittin on it! Great to see her smokin up a storm!

 

Unbelievable find the kind you just hear about I'm happy for you. Rags
