How did I know that someone would point that out...
I don't remember pricing... if Silent Rick is on he would have a better idea. All I can remember is a voice in my head saying; "Mikey like... Mikey like!"
I think, that since he does this full time, prices would be average to above average.

Boy the coupe has some perfect patina. Would be cool to slip a frame and running gear under it and run it just like that, fenders and all.
Was there any 28 roadster pick up bodys?

You Rock...I'd spend all my cash and drag those cars here to Florida, and then look at them, because I'd be out of money to build one.
Where is the good tin that's close to Florida????

Tell him I'll trade him a small Guatemalan boy for one of those sedans.
He cleans floors real nice.

he was asking $1100-1300 for the sedan bodies. i believe he wanted $4200 for the 5 window. no roadster pickups.
and it's called hemp. used to grow it all around here for rope during the big war. and those aren't nothing. down in newton county by mike are some awesome plants, buds longer than your hand, all purple looking. just ditch weed, but they keep an eye on it. even run stings. usually a dozen or more arrests a year because you potheads keep stuffing them eight foot plants in your trunk.

YIKES! prices are a bit on the steep side. i've gotten two sedan bodies that came from out west for much less than that, and thats after the guy who brought em back made a decent profit on em taboot. not sure what the coupes are worth though, so i can't comment on that. i would like one of those pickup cabs though... hell i'd realy like another C-dan for a future project, full fendered too.
still have to go check em out with you boys one of these days...

i thought the prices were sorta high too. he's asking $300 for bare model a frames. they looked alright, no major pitting, straight as far as you can tell by looking at them on the ground.
back in the fall, he had a stack of frames 5 or 6 feet tall. now he's down to maybe 5 or 6 laying around, so somebody is spending their money with him.

I have a buddy here in that bought two sedan bodies at an auction a while back.He gave $30 for one and $50 for the other.Sorry bastard, I had to give him $100 before he'd turn one loose. Pretty good shape for what we usually start with. Frames go cheap too. A lot of farmers turned em into trailers.
