AVRG === Abused Vicky Recovery Group

With the rebuild of Agent Orange, and posting of the before photos some PM's have been exchanged with other Vicky owners. There is a common trend, they're all really badly abused, but now on their way back to the beauties they were when new. If you have a 1930, 1931 or 1932 Vicky project lets see her.

 

Here is mine. Im not to sure what I want to do with it. Maybe a jalopy racer????

 

...tryin' to start your own club here Bob?...

 

Not a club, just a chapter.

 

I've got one of each.... '31 and '32, but no pictures and my kid's digi camera took a crap.

 

I love Black Wheels !!!!

 

The "AVRG", I love it!..ha! Are there gonna be meetings/interventions and chips for good/bad behavior?
Here's my addiction...





These are the only pics I have resized right now...Many more to come..
I have her in the garage now and am getting ready for major intervention followed by reconstructive surgery ...

 

I cannabulized a '31 slant windshield fordor to fix my '31 vicky body. I removed the body line that goes up to and over the quarter windows and swapped them side for side to make a non-leather back vicky out of it. The entire rear window section went into the vicky as well.

 

Yea I'm afraid so...sold it yesterday just the rolling shell for $4300.00,(not too bad I guess). It just broke my heart to get rid of it. I did it to put the Vicki on the road...
So I am 4k closer to gettin the vicki rockin...
I just got the 383 SBC back from the machine shop assembled and ready to go...have my art carr T-700 OD, 9" inch rear,ididit column, painless harness, steering wheel, seats, lots of pieces I had been hoarding fot the panel...and now Vicki bound..

Now all I need is a frame and front end, grill,& grill shell and radiator, brakes, wheels and tires.. a creative fuel cell and that's bout it....lots of assembly and beer drinkin...

 

Did we chase Jesse away? Wasn't he going to do one of these?
druss, that is coming along nicely!!

 

Well, I kinda do. I drug this ole heap in today. It looks like someone abused this poor old 'Vic' and cut the top out of the back. Probably ain't worth much as it is huh. I guess I'll have to try and make a new top for it.

 

Nah, it's not worth much at all. In fact, I'll pay for shipping if you'll send it to me. It'll save you the trip to the scrap yard.

 

sly like a fox, damn man a A-400 way kooool

 

well mine sure was abused , but its about done like next week looks like for now..

 

wow!!!thats booytful!!!what color is that???hok????

 

Any before pic's dragrcr50??? Or after pic's for the other cars???

 

well there is a thread about my vicky last week and a few were posted of the body i bought as was. here are a few as i was doing it

 

Wow, a A400. If I ever get myself a stock model A it will be a A400. Maybe hopped up and 18" wheels, but I really like the A400 in stock form. But hey, Vickys are cool too.

I hope your happy Sam.... ...we've had to start a support group because of your ride ..My vote is for Dragrcr50 for A.V.R.G. Pres..

 

WOW a few local guys say they have them. I haven't seen them yet but the holy grail of A's Sweet!!

 

A-400s are amazing to see in person yes, but I would say the Holy Grails of A's would be the town car.... or the town car delivery with only 191 ever being built.

 

A convertible A sedan delivery...
I think I just came a little..
That would make the coolest hotrod ever
Anyone ever seen one rodded?

 

Yeah, or cut off what's there and make a "ratrod" tub

Where on earth did you scare up that?

 

WOW I have never seen one, I have seen the low production numbers on it.. Thanks for posting a picture of one , that cool no real COOL.. So does it have flush doors like a Vicky, slant window? I ask that because I notice that the wiper is above the window frame.
I forgot here's my vicky is a bit farther now but still not done.

 

Are ya kidding me!...There has to be more then 7 Vicki's on here...

 

this one's been abused inside a garage for the last 30 years, but it's about to start getting abused on the road.

Here's mine, up for sale again though, was in the classifieds, now on the ebay.

I would probably (try to) own that Vic if the "transportation costs" to me wasn't prohibitive. I have everything like extra doors, window regs, w/s frame. and the wood to rebuild that body. Wish you were closer Drew!!

 

me too, I could build a street version out of that one.......
