I like the concept, Don. I am trying to rod an orphan now. Not that easy to find the parts, but ebay has been a life saver. Mine is a 1939 Nash. Just got the last door handle and the last headlight lens I needed to complete 2 1939 Nashes in those areas off ebay. Still need other parts, and know they are out there, but they are just hard to find. The parts to rod a 39 Nash actully seem to be cheaper than those for a 39 Ford, or a 32 for that matter. But along with being cheaper, they are less plentiful. In all my searching, I have found 10 four door fastback Nashes. I own two of them. Five of them I only know of from the registry of the Nash Car Club. There are probably more, but the point is that they are not easy to come by. That is the main problem with the idea of rodding an orphan or similar rare car. Most can't be had for love or money, and when you do get one, the parts are hard to find. And if there are only 10 of these cars around, what are you supposed to do for parts when your's gets bent too badly to repair, and the other 9 are restorations. Yes, it can be done, and has. I am working on finishing mine. It will get done eventually. I have been blessed to have found two solid steel bodies with minimal rust. Nash made good cars, made them to last. You can see pics of mine in my gallery. It still looks much the same. I'd like to see pics of your rolls, and any other odd cars you have done. I have the poor man's luxury car area taken care of.

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
