It's actually down to a frame and running gear now, these are from the day of the website crash. I'll post the new ones in a few days. Now for the big question, does the motor run? I'm going to try it tomorrow. The oil, plugs, and carb look good so I'm hopeful. Remember the flathead in your prayers tonight, I'm praying for a resurrection!

My son came back to help me out this summer, I am getting annexed to the city as light industrial. my taxes went from 900 to 2700. ouch takes a big bite out of my social security. I have a 40 by 120 shop with a 10 k 2 post lift, and 4 x 4 ft table lift. we had to build a 1/4 mile of 8 ft chain link fence and put in the plastic slats. they didn;t want to see the backhoe, dump truck , sawmill, project cars etc from the road. Junior decided to start on the 48 jeepster. it was supposed to be an easy swap to a blazer chassis. a real headache. He found a couple of international truck cabs for rat projects and a 37 olds sedan. We saw the wrecking yard owner in the store and he said he was crushing cars so he said to check out parts cars with a red X. My son ended up pulling radiators in front of the chrusher. traded for a 46 ford truck with a 54 lincoln engine , a46 international pickup, 2 big chevy cars with sbc- auto, 400-400 from a truck.. we bought a48 nash 4 door and 48 chevy fleetline 2 door 45 chevy truck... projects everwhere. he plans on building cars this winter,and selling a couple next summer.

Sounds really cool! The taxes are a bummer, though. I wish the boneyards around here had more stuff like that. There's one or two that keep old stuff, but the midwest winters havent been too kind to them.
