queens 50 yeuce;8810739]BOY O BOY! What a score.....I sure would like to have just the heavy axel. Ya need to go out and buy a loto ticket[/QUOTE] That would be a waste of money, he's used up all his luck.
I would guess the same. You know.. '26-'27 T roadster bodies and Model A bodies look good on deuce rails too.
I have a truck body I could put on it, but trucks monetarily seem to be the lowliest of Deuces, although my favorite. A frame this nice deserves to have a high end coupe or roadster built on it I suppose.
That chassis and all the other parts were stolen out of my temporary storage unit three weeks ago. If you don't cause a lot of trouble when I come to get it I'll pay you a $500 reward, no questions asked, when it is all loaded on my trailer.
HAHA!!! Nice try, but I got a bill of sale, name, address, phone number, and IDed the person I bought it from. So I think I'm good.
If you're overly concerned with it staying that nice and being too nice for a truck body, then sell it to a restorer. Otherwise, build a hotrod with it. I'll still take the mega millions...
Here is mine.Apparently spent 60 years dismantled in a barn here in the UK.I thought i did well but yours looks ace. Mine was a bit bent and had the middle of the centre crossmember cut out.But luckily it was still with it! Tracking the frame number it appears to have been built at the Dagenham plant early in 1934.
Ok, I don't get it. What are you seeing that I am not? Why would you assume the body is damaged or am I missing some inside humour here?
Bully, that's a great lookin frame and I would imagine quite rare in the UK. Do you know how many years they were produced there?
Well since he pulled the perfect hot rod chassis out from under it, we can only speculate that he is planning to street rod butcher it with some shitty 350-350 combo and all the other street rod stuff
If you won't sell, at least give us the dims for the wheel stripes. Width of stripes, distance between stripes and distance from an edge to first stripe. Thanks. For anyone to answer: I think I read here somewhere that three stripes designated Mercury. Is that correct?
Hi CS..i believe they were built for 3 years,but something in the back of my mind says also 1935 as well.I will go check and get back to you. It is rare in the uk,but there are die hard fans who have pretty good collections! I did a deal with a fella where he had my 1950 Ford V8 Pilot,and i had a pile of 32 parts and some cash.Its a european tudor.I`ll see if i can find a pic of the day i picked it up. The body is pretty rough...but it is a rare old thing over here. And also should be a picture of the Pilot.Maybe something many of you guys didnt know existed?Built from 48 to 52 i think,had a 21 stud V8,hyraulic front brakes and mechanical rears and i believe the chassis and running gear was based on the 36 Ford.Was a great car though,used to truck along real nice!
Jeffscoupe, looked at the stripes last night on the wheels. Every one is way different. They are obviously done by hand. They average 1/8" on the outside stripes and 3/16" on the middle stripe. Here's a couple of pics so you can see how different they are. The wheels that are on it came off of a '48.
Thanks Scrappy. I appreciate you doing that for me. Too bad they're not original stripes. I'm trying to replicate the stripes on my new Wheel Vintique wheels. I just "eyeballed" them and they are too close to the center cap. I've got the stripes stripped off now and going to hit them all with another coat of black, then try again. I'll probably go by the first pic you posted. Thanks again!
The last roadster was built in Denmark in 1934, the last 32´s overall, was built in Dagenham in 1935. It was Fordors for the police. Lars
They probably had a fixture to spin them and layed them by hand. That was before the dumbing down of the workforce that goes on today. I watched a video from the late 1980's of assembly line ural motorcycles getting handstriped a bunch of years back, just someone on the line laying them by hand
