COE Newb from out in the mint fields

Hey folks, I thought I'd introduce myself to the group. I've always wanted a early 50's COE rod. Grandpa drove a COE KW and I got the bug from him. I finally have somewhere to build it, so the hunt has begun. I'm in hunt for a late 40's-to early 50's Chevy COE. Unfortunately, money's tight, so it'll proably be a long and slow hunt. Any leads within decent driving distance of Lansing Mi would be appreciated.
