    Nope, nothing to report. Too many hours at work and too few degrees outside. Lined up a pair of doors but I haven't picked them up yet.

    I have this rig for sale, might get you a good amount of pieces for the new project. If you’re interested $200 it’s in Carver B0E2AEB7-3426-4D1D-AEE7-EC564A868E97.png

    Doesn't look like an AA frame but those front bumper brackets and the remains of that front bumper are. I have seen those go for your asking price. Just letting you know.

    Let me know if you need a blueprint, Ron. I've got it on a beer coaster someplace. Adam called me a "gold chainer" because I had a blue print (lol). DSCN2840.JPG

    With the help of 51box, mikel50, and Mike Bowling- I got the chassis home.
    Most of it will be under the coupe, even the drivetrain if it plays nice KIMG0100.JPG KIMG0102.JPG KIMG0103.JPG KIMG0104.JPG KIMG0105.JPG

    The rear was locked up when we dragged it on and off the trailer. One wheel rolled this way and the other went the other way. But, the day after I filled the tires the front left blew. It was a loud BOOM! Even the neighbors called the house to see if I was ok. Anyway the rear is not locked up anymore.
    The transmission goes in all the gears, the plugs look good, inside the plugs holes look good too. Motor stuck though. Got some Kroil in there working it's magic.
    Oh yeah; the clutch works and it steers too, f-n great score.

    Yeah I have been thinking about that .He knows the grille shell alone is worth more than two bills.I am thinking that he gave him a break because he was a Hamber and knows he will do something with the car.Or he needs 200 bucks only and he know that someone on the Hamb would snap it up.Lets face it, how many people would find pieces of a model A and say to himself. "Yeah I can fix that!"...then proceeds do do just that!
