Again, they need to be planning to hold the car long term. There's simply too many cars out there that were built right, often with the owner paying top dollar shop labor rates for a total build. that are now being marketed to cash out, often at $0.50 on the dollar or less. Just saying that there are a lot of really good buys out there for the guy who looks around and has some contacts. I'd think this is the ideal time to buy, just before the warm weather gets here.
Yer right there Rog.
But believe it or not, most of the shops I know of are loaded with work.
Dealing with a differant clientel than most who post here.
Plenty of people out there with dispoable income.
And yer right again, I got this 1 for 65% of the cost of parts.
Sweet ride.Congrats
Lots of super deals around on half done projects, hate to see the people have to bail on them but it is good to see them go to a good home when it happens!! Great find, Don! Tough to beat a Wescott!!!!
The word luck was meant to mean "fortunate",,enjoy Your new ride.Quote:

Sorry for your troubles and happy for you on a great find on a very cool 32!!
How are you feeling? Any health issues lingering?
not that I don't feel bad for those on hard times, but I started looking for a cheap (CHEAP) 32-24 truck project thinking now would be a good time to start stashing some parts. I haven't found nearly as much as I thought I might. Then again I haven't been looking all that far from home.
Cool roadster! Did you sell off the wrecked car? I thought you might have fixed it up and sold it off pocketing the leftover insurance cash :cool:
Got the handle DA34GUY years ago when I owned 10 34's.Quote:

Nice looking car Don. Just needs the da34guy touch to bring it around. WAKE IT UP DON.
Wow, nice find! Congratulations on the new ride.

Send me email if best.Quote:
