I got laid off so I bought another car barn find kinda

I had my dad post on fordbarn. Looking for a model a coupe and this guy call. So the other day I hooked the trailer up and took a 3 hour drive up north. Only 30 min from my hunting spot were I was last week. The guy opened the barn door and there it was. A nice 28-29 coupe and a nice 28-29 roadster cowl and a shit load of parts. I thought for sure I was going to be two trips but we managed to get it all on the trailer and in the truck. I sold the roadster cowl to my dad. I still need to go thur all the boxes of stuff and figure out what I'm going to do with all the shit I'm not going to use. All I wanted was a body but there was no way I was going to pass up the deal that I got


Plan for the body
32 frame
cowl steering
blown 425 nailhead 4 speed
quick change
4in chop
gloss black paint


that's all I got so far but I need to finish my buick first

anyone want to buy a 57 Buick half done?

 

Maybe, but which half is done?

 

more pix

 

Another Nailhead-powered Model A comin' outta your garage???

Cool! Can't wait to see this one at Autorama, too!!!

 

nice score...

 

"blown" nailhead. Where's a pic of that baby or still coming?

 

frames done 4-link rear m2 frame clip air ride done lays frame floors Im still working on

 

This shiznit only happens in BFE. Here in Cali, the guy woulda had his ass full of Barret-Jackson hubris and asked for your left NUT!
Nice score, though.

 

Thats how I got strated in Model A stuff. Cleaned up for an old guy getting out of the hobby. I got piles of stuff including a '28 phaeton body which I traded for a '28 roadster body....

 

here you go

still need alot of work but I got the parts to build it

 

You suck. That body looks cherry... nice score

 

GREAT SCORE!!! It's nice to know there's still some left in Michigan! If you got the Model A frame with it and you're gonna sell it i would be interested

 

OMG.. you nailed it.

 

Nice score

 

Great find

Will it be at Billet Proof in the spring?

 

You got laid off... so you bought a model A... I must be doing something wrong.

Cool score.

 

and what did you paid for it??

 

That blown nailhead gives me a boner!

 

less then 4k

 

Holy moly, that's nice. But, do you think it will have enough power?

 

If I get laid off, I'll be buying ALDI's Mac and Cheese, you must be living right.

 

That's definitely one way to be laid off.

 

I got two frames with it PM me next week I need time to go thur all the shit

 

Nice find, but finish the Buick anyways, everyone needs a Hot Rods and a Kustom.

Gus

 

well, thats what id do if i were laid off!!!! LOL nice score bud!!!

 

I hope but I can always up the boost

 

Cool find! Now that you have time on your hands, finish the Buick first...any progress pics of that?

 

After selling off all the parts Im not going to use. I ended up paying $1000 for the body. Im pretty happy. Now I just need to finish the buick. So I can sell it.

 

Wow! Road trip in the snow with a whole load of new found parts. It just doesn't get any better than that! Sometimes the journey is as much fun as the destination. I feel like a kid at Christmas looking at the photos....

 

Nice find.
