I took a bunch of pictures, but I downloaded them at HRLC's and when I got home I found out they were removed from my camera

I'll see if I can get/post them tomorrow.

Thanx heaps for the pics, so my question is whats the going prices for parts nowa days?
I spoke to someone the other day about shipping to AUS and it has now gotten dear to ship internally around the US than shipping to AUS.
The cheap way out of it was getting the parts to a shipping port?
Its all to do with the price of oil!

thanx

Let me know what you want, and I'll check out prices. The port of Toledo is only 20 miles from here, but I don't know if they ship containers there.

I am still hunting around AUS to find some doors, but one old timer (been in the parts game a along time) said "just find any make of door around that period if you want to copy you should have no problems, they are all the same". I dont know how true that is but I may do some digging around as there is some options on chasing up a STUTZ or a Studebaker of the same era rather cheaply.
He mentioned also that they dont have to be chemically cleaned they just need be clean enough so no mud or creapy crawls on them.

I'll keep looking for the moment and let you know,

thanx

all neat stuff. I love wondering through old yards where stuff has sit for decades. Not much remains though

When we first came upon my 37 Willys in Casa Grande........ the owners son tells us "it has sit like that since dad bought the new Ford"....

when asked what the "new Ford" was.....he points to a 1952 4 door Ford sitting under a falling down carport.

The Willys had sit for 35 years in one spot and looked like it.
