It's always exciting to find an old car. Looks like someone dropped the body off and kept the frame. Heavy damage on the passenger side. You are there, but it looks like it might be too late to save her. What a thrill it must have been when you first saw her.

Proof that Model A's sit in the woods. Bob

They would save that in Europe !!!
I can see some parts on it that a friend needs now,
Is it anywhere near you Carl ?? Don't you need another project?

Once its on a frame it would look a lot better !!

"Proof that Model A's sit in the woods. Bob"

Once in a lifetime a person might come across the right one, waiting in the woods.
Here is a photo of my Phaeton back in the mid-80's.
Fortunately it is typically quite dry much of the year here in interior Alaska.

Good for some parts or a yard art decorater, if it was close enough to haul home. Its still a purty!!! If it was a roadster it might be worth the effort and expense to build a fenderless fun A. I know that over my lifetime, I've hauled all of the ruff model A stuff that I could home.

Copper Center is about 160 miles from where I live in Anchorage. And I've got my hands pretty full right now with just trying to keep my PU in operating condition --- thank you very much

I know what you mean Carl !!
I had the rear axle apart and the transmission out of mine last summer!!!
I missed a few good shows because of it.

Hope you get yours back together soon !!
