Bringing my Roadster Home... Help needed....

[zman]

Ok I'm gonna try again. Maybe we can get it from outside of LA to Arizona or Colorado. Maybe then we can get it from there farther East. I really want to finish this thing this winter. Any help out there?

Tell ya what, if someone can get it to Alabama by early December, I could bring it on up to Raleigh from here.

BTTT... anyone? Bueller?

zman, What is the body from, Dodge? Looks like it was a long roadster if the doors were there.

[zman]

It's a '22 Buick. Yeah it's pretty long. Had a 122" wheelbase. It'll end up a tad shorter, maybe 109" or so. It has two set of doors with it...

Does the old Buick have the golf door on the passengers side?

[The37Kid]

This is photo of a 1920 Buick and I think the body of a '22 would be almost the same. Not sure if they had golf bag doors that early. Many mid range and Classic cars of the 1920's had a storage compartment for golf bags behind the seat, with an access door on the passenger side.

I don't know if it does or not. I just wanted to build an all Buick roadster. And I have a set of '28 Buick rails to pick up in South Carolina in a week or two. So this will be the last piece I need to get started... HELP ME GET IT HOME....

[choprods]

saw it in two long ways http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif and ship it airborne or FedEx or UPS IN SECTIONS.........
I bought the rear half of roof from a '34 ford and shipped it from washington state to missouri for 50 dollars.[two sides/halves]

[Tman]

I bet it would go Greyhound in separate peices. I shipped a 32 Tudor cowl with posts this way. They will take up 72" I think? Anyway, it is dirt cheap, that cowl cost $40 to San Francisco from here.

Cool body.....Oldcarglassguy had a 22 Byuick roadster in his quanset hut near Oregon City, Oregon...is that the same one? Sure looks like it..
I'm not planning on making any more trips this summer, so I doubt if I can be any help..........sorry.

[zman]

Choprods I don't think I'm ready to chop it in half, yet.

Rocky, as for it coming out of Oregon. I can't remember, one of the other Nailhead group guys outbid me on eBAy about 5 years ago on it. About 6 months ago he sold it to me for what he was in it for. They're pretty hard to find...

[Farmer]

zman, I sent you a PM. let's see if I can help, maybe so...

[RocketDaemon]

[zman]

It'll be getting a 401 and a 4 speed.

[Farmer]

[zman]
