Looking to buy hotrod at the Nats..

well... I kick the Cancer thing ( still got it ..but I winning the fight) , and I need to get back into it again..my current build been on hold for some time and doesnt look as if it will get done soon..


So off to the Nats? .. I haven't been to the Nats in a few years and have no interest in going either, But I was thinking of buying something to get me back in the hotrod game again..and maybe just sell down the road until my wood thingy is finished..lol....who knows..

I never bought a driving car.. always built mine from piles of parts...

so shopping I will go..lol... figure there should be some deals out there..

good idea or bad.. is it worth the drive..lol

Thanks woodguy

 

There is nothing like celebrating a new life like a roadster!!!! It'll make you feel alive like no coupe can.

 

Congrats first of all.
Yeah there are some deals out there, especially with the current economy....

 

think 20 grand in cash wood buy something pretty cool..

 

Glad you are ahead of that dreaded C word.

Lost my brother this past Feb to Lung, and a great freind to Pancreatic about 6 years ago.

Get that roadster, buy those parts, piss old C off and live your life. Offering a prayer for your remission.

 

Glad to hear your health issues are on the upside.

In my opinion, this is probably the last "real" Nats, due to the changes coming next season. So, if you can, yes go. Enjoy and savor the real Nats. I'm sure you can find something in your price range. Got to be a bit of buyers market out there. I wanted to go, but right now, life is in the way.

Enjoy your trip and good luck finding a car. Best wishes. Stu

 

Seems like about half of the cars at the nats are for sale every year. Some they want to sale, some are just nuts. Good luck with your search, cash always works. Glad to hear you are beating your health issues.

 

I think it is a great time and place to buy a car. I love rod shopping!
Bring cash!!

 

I bet you'll find something cool for under 20K.
Wish I could go this year.. but alas its just not in the cards..

 

Being a survivor myself, I think it is the "perfect plan". I hope you will document, photo and share your adventure with us. I always tell my friends, "There is nothing like cancer to get your priorities in order". Have a blast!

 

Glad to hear you are doing better!

 

Had a friend sell his car at the nats -- said he barely got in the gate before someone ran up to him with money in hand

 

Congrats, and good luck!!!!

 

Keep on WINNING!

Do you know what you want, or does it matter?

 

Congrats & keep up the fight! I'm kind of in the same boat, beat liver & lung cancer so far. Current project is never gonna get done. Been watching the classifieds hoping something grabs me that I can get in and drive.

Nothing beats cruising down the road, radio playing, pipes rumblin'.

 

Not that I'm gonna be there...but there is some MAJOR flooding in Louisville as of today...we NEED the rain in South Texas and they need sunny and warm...

 

well maybe look for a wood boat..lol

yea I experienced enough floods at the Nats... something that floats maybe the answer

 

Glad to hear you are winning.

I second the vote for a roadster, fun in the sun and easy to sell when the time comes for the "wood thingy"

 

Theres a hell of a deal in the classifieds for a little bucket with a nailhead.

 

Tim, What are you bringing up? maybe a Willlys?

 

for some reason I drawn to a stocker.. old restoration.. I must be nuts..or something that says HOTROD!!

maybe a running 4dr to convert into a woodie?

I really dont know..love to find a tub...lol

wood

 

Good luck on the recovery. I always thought it would be fun to go to a big show looking to buy a car.

 

Look real close. You sound like you know what you're doing and some stuff I've seen that looks good I won't drive around the block. I'm happy you're also winning the fight. My mother-in-law is winning hers right now as well so I can feel it. Good luck and like has already been said let us know what you found.

 

convert into a woodie? Isn't that more project time? Stick with something that you can just drive and tinker with a little.

 

Kirk, That is great news!!!! I just asked my wife if she had heard anything from yours on your progress. I guess they don't run into each other much. I just picked up 50's built 40 sedan if you are looking in that era.

Keep the good news coming...
