Projects DREAM CARS, START SOMEWHERE.

Don't know if they are dreams or nightmares, but it happens every time, I buy some old rusty junk, bring it home, and then the DREAM driven brain invents ways to make a hot rod out of it...
Got this cut down '30 cowl home a week ago... got a '29 Murray cowl and front doors coming this weekend...
so with a pair of my buddies coupester door "caps", the Murray door skins, and the '30 cowl with a homemade DUVALL windshield, '38 car dash, I would only need a pair of rear quarters and i'ld have a hot rod body....
...... then I woke up !
.
.

.
any other guys out there got details or pix of their "dream car"...

 

I am going to build me a 34 roadster with these and a few other bits I have squirrelled away. It just means more scrounging junk. Which is half the fun anyway!

 

Saw more dreams today... I want the rust and blue full height '30 cowl...?

 

Interesting......

 

this time of year... no skitoz..

 

'30 truck cowl...
'29 pick up...
'29 one ton...

 

Where are you finding these mike??

 

out in the woods...
he is one of those guys that if he likes you he will sell SOME parts... but if you don't hit it off you are headed home empty...
I am taking it slow as he has a few more model a parts I would like to adopt...

 

quite a find.......good luck with the negotiations, love that COE

 

think he has 6 of those...

 

picked this up the other day, the first piece of a model a hot rod. Then the imagination takes over while looking for just the right motor for it.
For some reason, I think I like the looks of this this 320 ci packard motor. Just as a stock motor it is beautiful. Then I start looking for transmission adapters speed parts and .... I wake up

 

Ashes to Ashes...Rust to Dust...Savem Sloppy...​

 

thanks stogy, I have saved 244 of henry's finest...

 

...that is amazing

 

Oh yea, I'm going to make it happen.

 

La' tubb

 

Buddy's dream car, [granddaughter can't open a rear door].

his buddy's dream...

.Chevron supreme...

 

here we go again...
had the roadster upper cowl sides [blindowl], was given the '30 closed car struggle buggy cowl... have a pair of '30-'31 roadster lower stantions, and a dlx windshield frame....
now that would make a neat coupester cowl...
grabbed a tape measure and put it to use... from outside edge of a '30-'31 roadster lower stantion to the opposite outside is 46.125".
'30-'31 closed car W/S posts outside to outside is 45.5"...
'30-'31 roadster cowlsides are about 1" longer than the '30-'31 closed car cowls...

 

I dragged this home in 1981 , started dreaming about the ultimate 33 Fordor I could build .
and I ended up with this 33 Fordor Victoria C400 ( with a functional Trunklid )

 

from one of a kind dream to beautiful driver... so cool.

 

Wow, that is nice!

 

My start to a 32 roadster and a 5w down the line....roadster is getting there, slowly!

I'm still holding on to my dream guys, don't count me out yet

 

A little up date on the " TUB". Got the windshield area look better. all patch panels in, still need a driver door.

 

junk to hot rod visions of grandeur.

 

Nice set up table and kool T too.

 

If all of these seem like a 'Bad idea' to build a car from...............
You guys in the States are so very wildly over privileged for choice in car parts. That's all about the norm to build a car from here unless you get VERY lucky on something better!
Doc.

 

someone musta ticked the guy off ... won't exchange any more rusty gold for paper money...
bummer !

 

Doc,

I don't want to hijack SJ's thread but it is so good to see you on the HAMB again! You have been missed around here quite a bit over the past couple of years. Welcome back!

Steve

 

Doc, yes here it just depends on what you have to start with ($$$$). This is what I started with in 1973 and $125.00. I am also very glad to see you back on here.
