Well, I finally found something cool...

It is just a couple of hundred yards off a main road. The old guy who owns the property says it belongs to a friend of his and everything is for sale. The old guy seems to repeat himself a bit. I am going to try though as I think this has a lot of potential.

 

Awesome! Pm me if you need wood plans, a fellow HAMBer has them. ya don't see a lot of original woodies.

 

That is really cool! I would like to find one of those myself!

 

Wow, looks pretty solid from the picture. Hope you can grab it and save it!

 

We Old Farts seem to do that. We Old Farts seem to do that!

 

Whats that to the left of the A????

 

Fromt the condition of the wood I'd say that is one of the old reproduction Model A wood sets which was never finished, a project given up on many years ago.

 

"Well, I finally found something cool..."

Kind of an understatement don't you think???
If you get it you can legally women about your "woody" without all the court hassle!

 

Check out the c clamps on the visor. Definitely a stalled project.

 

for sure.. it looks to have aluminum repop gutter as well..

 

doesnt look like the car been in the "weeds" too long look how clean the sheet metal is and those look like new cokers to me

looks pretty staged to me im calling bullshit on this one

 

BS, well, from the standpoint of, no, it has not been sitting out in a fencerow for decades. Okay. BUT, I sure wouldn't leave it there any longer, even if it just sat there since the spring of '09. Get it, if they don't stick you up for it!

 

Well, I finally found something cool...

that's an understatement
hope it finds it's way to your place

 

Very cool !!!!!!!

 

"Well, I finally found something cool..."

You hit the nail on the head on that one.

 

Well it's not staged and it's not bullshit either. I don't know how long it has been sitting outside but I would guess about a year or less. As for staging and bullshit games, well I don't have the time or desire for that stuff. Unfinished repro kit or not, I sure would like to get it and finish it myself. The wood seems to be in good shape and I would really like to finish it off and put in the '46 flathead that I have in my spare parts.

 

Sllrng, go for it, man. Who cares how long it's been outside? Better if it HAS only been outside a year or so, right?

 

whats behind it looks cool to ? a decent find would make a shweeet ride with some nice wood work

 

We old farts seem to do that.

Ditto, Ditto. Did I say Ditto?

 

looks like a great project if you can get it off him.

 

Real nice find !
I will agree with you that someone gave up .

Now hurry up and get that "Woodie" home !

 

Stllring,I am an OLD FART now myself, BUT I still say, just go GET 'er, bro!!! You'll love the end result. What a COOL car that could be!!

If you don't smebody else will.

When I got my driver's license in the late '60s, I search every junkyard in six counties and never found anything more than PIECES of Models A's. If you stillhave A's that complete out your way, just go with your gut . . . 'cause I'd kill to find one like that. What a cool body -- wood-kit or not.

 

you see a lot of "patina" on the steel cars, but how cool would it be to have patina wood??

cool cool cool

 

What's that behind the A?

 

I didn't say how old I am....

 

It looks like about a 1929 or1930 Studebaker . It has the cowl of a sedan with the back curve of an unidentified touring screwed on to make a sort of bucket. It also has a flatdeck added on to make it look like the beverly hillbillies.

 

My friend, I didn't assume your age. I was coattailing on SEVERAL older guys who were, like me, very much SUPPORTIVE of your project and congratulating you on your find. I guess I thought you picked up on that from the thread.

 

I did pick up on that, sorry I should have put on an LOL or something! No foul at all! I hope I can get this thing I will keep you all posted

 

It's all cool. Good luck securing the woodie for a project!
