    That's why you announce your finds on here AFTER you have them in your possesion!
    Too many people are more than willing to chop down a few trees, sneak out at night and outright steal, or whatever it takes to snipe a deal out from under somebody when given the chance. ESPECIALLY if it's an early Ford coupe!! My guess is somebody who's on here knew about it too, and figured they better get it out of there before YOU did!

    I agree with Trailer Ed, that flat back section on the tudor body is definately worth saving! I'd cut it through the middle of the quarter windows and just take the back section.

    Looks like stuff one of them big ol' Texas trucks could back over for the most part.
    I'd get a sheet of 4X8 plywood, nail a couple 2X4s for skids and another on top at the front, pinching a rope or strap. Get the body up on your sled and pull it out, cutting what was needed. An ATV would help guide it side to side on the way out...
