Is spokane that desolete that there are still cars like that laying around??? Stuff like that in Michigan has been long gone, too many damn hot rodders here. Even the U.P. is getting thinned out now. Nice save on the frame, I would have taken it too.
You could melt it down, make some new sheet metal and hand form the body parts. At least you could say it is real Henry steel.
If it would have came to me I would have put it back on the road. Oh well, Corey beat me to it. Now it will be used to fix many other cars. Its all good.
I thought Shaun would have told you for sure? You can have the quarter panel if it would help you. The fenders too. It's all super rough.
Yeah RIGHT! I'd take everything and then sift a few tons of dirt that were under/around it in case I missed something that fell off over the years!!! LOL I see several things I NEED on that body just from a quick glance...
The thing that popped at me right away was the windshield lower frame section. Mine is toast...although the upper section is in really good shape. Then theres a rocker panel because one of mine is bent pretty bad, firewall (I need feet and a center piece)...certainly other things. It's great when things like this get parted out to others. Theres just nothing left around so it's ALL got value to someone. I found a 32 frame and axle once. I'm actually using the heavy axle and the repairable firewall from that find. (frame was destroyed by rust.) Only knew the axle was there as the tires were sticking out of the ground. By digging out the axle I realized that the missing body had actually collapsed around the frame and disappeared under the sod! A bit more digging got me both the windshield adjusters inc the knobs. They were still attached to the remains of the A pillars, 6" below the gr***!!! Never know what you'll find. Give me a PM on the windshield frame cost if you would. Shipping would likely kill the value of anything else for me unfortunately...although I suppose you never know...
Nice how ALL the frame hardware was still there except the shocks and pedal ***embly. 30+ years ago a friend bought a 32 frame out of the Dakotas at a Oklahoma swap meet for $450. It had the bumpers and irons front and rear, rear tire bracket, front crosstube and license bracket, all 4 shocks, frame stiffeners, runningboards, 4 cyl. headlamp bar and headlamps, front fender brackets and pedal ***embly. We parted it out except for the front bumper irons made over a grand, hung it in the shed and took it out four years ago and built a gl*** 32 3W on it. Enjoy the find!
I like the guys that think that thing is junk. I mean sure, it is what it is, but with a decent frame, folded but nice firewall, nice upper door tins, B pillars, garnigh moldings, cowl vent, subframe...on and on. It will help A LOT of guys trying to screw a honest to goodness deuce together. It even has a decent spare luggage rack hanging off the back
Over by the Clark Fork...? Spokane is just like L.A....thats actually the truth if you live in MT. And I,ve been kicked out of that pizza place, AND the chinese reastaurnt downtown. Seems like some good 32 pieces...if you like that junk.
