Another sad, sad pasture find ....

Even with the added ventilation those pieces should be good trading material.

There is/was a young couple in the PNW who showed up at the Unfinished Nationals a few years ago with far less and actually carried the various panels through the awards ceremony to accept the "you are going to do what?" award. A couple of years later they drove it back to the event.

 

Where is this "unfinished nationals"? Sounds like the PERFECT event for me...

 

Can't remeber the name of the town, but it is just east of Aberdean, WA. Fun time, too!

 

used to be in Graham then moved to Elma WA.

 

Elma! I couldn't remember that to save my life! Been there to the nats and for work several times.

 

Thats actually pretty close to me. I should check it out.

 

Well ..... I just got off of the phone with the land owner. I got the story about how his Granddad used the car on that same farm. After "something happened" to the car, he couldn't remember what that something was, Granddad parked it by the lake bottom and let the Grandkids use it as a duck blind. It has been sitting in that same spot for about 30 years or so !! Anyway .... a deal was made, and as soon as I can make time, I am gonna go get it !!!!! I would try it tonight, but the young 'un has homework to finish, and then Kid's Inc. basketball practice. If he gets all of that done, then we may still attempt getting it tonight !!!! I did get the law laid to me from the young 'un this morning when I mentioned something about maybe going to get it this afternoon with out him !!!!!!!!! I WILL update with more pics when we go to get it !!!!!!!

 

awesome man. Im looking for something to start building right now. There is so many rusted cars rotting away in Texas. Nobody seems to wanna sale or get rid of anything. You got really lucky.

 

Lucky man, man.

Killer!

 

NICE! Am I nuts in thinking that if you got yourself a frame that it just might not be as terrible a build as it looks?

I mean, imagine the before and after pics you could have.......

 

If its going to be for sale...PM ME

 

target practice on a 40 vert? I'm having a heart attack

 

Good deal, glad you're going to get it! I'd build it!

 

Nice score. Lucky dog!

 

Damn I could build a car from those remains!!

 

Drake may be planning on repro 40 conv doors...... a local guy says Drake was buying used 40 conv doors.

 

Nice!! glad it's getting some attention. Nothing like a forty. It's way better than what i'm starting with.

 

Sad sad find my ass! There are builds on here that started with WAY worse! Hell, some guys on here would already be driving it! Lol!

 

the time and effort on the 40 would be worth more than the same time and effort spent on the whippet,just my .$02

 

Have you dragged it home yet?

Nice find!
