I'm glad RAT RODS AND EBAY BOTH SUCK!

[choprods]

Are ther no RAT RODDERS in the midwest?I was wanting a frame for a '34 3 window ford of mine and this was on ebay- I decided to bid the opening bid and arranged transport just in case it was affordable.....
Well I put it on my favorites and thought -FAT CHANCE even a hacked up frame would be something I should consider buying.
I tuned in about ten minutes to the end of sale and was still hi bid at 50.00!
so I began the click/refresh part of the last 20 seconds.....and low and behold I was ready for him and two buddys to shill it up to his Idea of what he wanted....
And damn! guess what?
A newbie bidder started hacking it up a dollar at a stroke in the last ten and only bumped it up to [[[[[[[$54.00$!!!!!!!-I cant believe I bout anything for that
Its a frame /entire front ssuspension and a tourqu tubr rear with both springs!

Looks like a model A wishbone and front axle too.

Good buy on the frame though, it looks like something I would start with http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Make sure you kiss the guy after it is loaded up and before you leave for home. It's customary when this kind of act is consumated. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
You lucky dog!!!! Nice score.

[briggs&strattonChev]

wow! helluva deal! Where was it located?

Got any pics of your body?

Good Luck!

[choprods]

Believed to be a 34 frame -said it was from a 34 pickup...its in Fort Worth Texas.
I already secured BEN D to haul it home from Day of the Drags on the 3 Oct.
I dont have pics of my bodies -a 5W and a3W but they are kinda ratty http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That is a good score. I prefer to work with old frames even if they require a lot of work. They just look better under the kind of cars most of us here build. There's something about looking under a cool patined old body and seeing a fabricated frame that turns me off. I understand that you sometimes have no option when your building a total cartoon car, I'm talking about a basic stock body look.

Kenny, you got HOSEBAGGED! Too bad you didn't start with a real cherry-pie frame like my old one...

[Bruce Lancaster]

Not too bad! I got my complete '32 V8 chassis from the junkyard for $25, though. The engine was missing, but they delivered it for free.
Oh, yeah, that was in 1969...

[**DONOTDELETE**]

dude, I saw that and was at work otherwise I would have bought it. A friend of mine called me to tell me about that deal.

good for you man!

[choprods]

HE!That kinda makes up for me HOSEING myself when I bought that30 Roadster body I bought! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Yeah Gooch I was afraid that some one with some sense would remember the auction!

[Fat Hack]

Damn! You're building high dollar rods now??? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Glad to see that sweet body standing on end in the shop about to go to good use!

[Mild Mitch]

If'n it's an A wishbone , I'd be interested in taking it off your hands. Been looking for one that hasn't been cut!
THX!

[choprods]

Yeah Hack-I didnt show ya the whole stash!- that Vertical stored body you mentioned has been traded to another HAMBer and is going to a good home,I have two other Ford bodies I intend on hanging onto for a while http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
