    Rustyduece,
    Now that's great upgrade from that Mustang:)

    Yea, the model A can always be built again ...but '35 3 windows, in this condition, don't pop up too often around these woods!

    If you think she's looks good from the front, you should see the rear view!

    For my Bel Air, I sold the Camaro had owned for 10 years. It still had my old Ride The Lightning tape in the center console. Kinda miss my metalhead days, funny that I turned out to be the very thing I used to rebel against.

    For the Buick, I just used my stimulus check. Bad idea? Yep. Do I regret it? Not a bit.
     
  8. I sold this Karmann Ghia convertible:

    When all you're buying is this, you don't need to sell anything!!! But it's my learning car, so who cares.

  11. As a FNG I parted out the best pieces on this 39 Mercury tudor (to HotRodHon) to scrape together just enough cash for a 52 pontiac 2 door post (on the lift)..... then sold the 52 (to Donahue) to buy the 51 pontiac hardtop

    It's just a silverface bassman. It's a nice amp, but I see them up for sale quite often.

    all in all, rather have my coupe.. now, i gotta build another one, but i have years now. this one if for the wife. shes in no rush.. its a secret project, all i have so far is the motor with intake, valve covers, and a few lil tiny things.. this will be on a super budget, and will be just a nice lil cruiser for her
