well sometime ago a bought a beat down roadster with a little local history. here http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=446024 and here http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=453191 well a few directions have changed and Im doing a highboy banger. the chassis under the first car was completley hacked. I searched for a while for a new chasis and all the good chassis were out of my range distance and dollars. I was lucky enough to find one local to me hiding. I brought it home today. let the fun begin. juice brake conv., banger updating and alot of sheet metal work. only issue with this chassis is it is missing one frame horn. wish me the best
Awsome, i saw a nice chassis for sale down here recently for $600.00 kiwi. thought about getting it for mine, but i think i can clean mine up easy enough. Bangers rock!
there was no cleaning mine up......... torch cuts, rot. paralell leaves in the rear and clotheshanger welds.
Yea I pulled the plugs poured in some mmo and spun er over with the hand crank for a bit. Pretty smooth. Trans shifts a bit ruff though. Has nothing to do with it sitting for 40 years huh?
I was at a farm a few months back and there were a couple of A frames behind the barn. The new owner of this farm was wanting to get rid of these parts that were left behind. If you are interested I can PM you the contact info for the guy who is selling the parts. Frames laocated just North of Bloomington, IL
Chopo, you ought to hook up with Zach Suhr, you could probably get a wicked banger built with his help. later shawn
