    Bonus! The glass is intact. There is no reason not to get it out of there. You would not get stuck with it...give me a contact and I will go after it.

    Too many projects? Why bother going looking at stuff then? Buy it and sell it to someone who cares, you are allowed to make a profit.That car needs to be loved & rebuilt. Its a full 26-27 T roadster, with a '40's hood for a tail. Post some photos of the frame & fenders.

  7. Wow, I thought I lost it forever. I went out drinking one night with the boys and parked it as to not wreck it. After too many PBR's I forgot where I left it. Could you PM me where I left it at, this is so embarassing.;)

    you better get that car out of there, and into someones hands that dont have "too many projects" ( i never heard that term before... ) because super top secret yards have a way of evaporating

    "no one comes here no more to buy stuff, and this feller says he'll give me $200 a car to get rid of em... GONE"

  16. You could never have too many projects for something as cool as that, unless you have a 50-foot high pile of rust-free 32-36 tin in your back yard.

    Sell it to me and I'll ebay my truck and fix it. That is the coolest thing I've seen on here in a long time (well, maybe that's not true but at least the coolest thing I've seen on here since yesterday).

  27. Breeder, I figure this new screename gives a more accurate representation of me...plus I get a cool new firewall tag for my COE hauler with the renueal of my alliance membership:D...

    As for the boatail, I'm waitin to make a run back up to my moms to grab it...it may have to be on my way back from the HAMB drags before I can get away to get that done...

    If I don't break my 28 coupe @ the Drags and have to trailer it home instead:eek:...

    When ever I see something "custom" like that in a junk yard you just have to wonder.............who too it to the junk yard??? And WHY???!!!!! I'd love to know the "story" behind it.
