Re: My first A. 68ccab,
Now that car has seen a lot of living! It's a 30/early 31 cowl, but I'm not sure the back half began life with the front half. --anybody else? |
Re: My first A. Run!! You will spend half and find much better.
|
Re: My first A. Its a late 31 S/W cabriolet & a very desirable model. It will be a great resto project,but it would likely be cheaper in the long run to buy an older resto.All the hard to find cabby parts are $$$.

Re: My first A. That is cool and would make a nice hot rod!
|
Re: My first A. That is an Early one with the flat firewall, there are only a couple of these.
Contact Tom Moniz [email protected] as he keeps track of them. Good luck with the restoration. .. |
Re: My first A. Do not listen to the pessimists you can do it. If you find some more parts that is, looks like it is missing the important driving things.

Re: My first A. holy corrosion batman!

Re: My first A. I am jealous If you decide to run I would love to restore it. I have always wanted a 31 slant cab to go along with my 31 roadster. I have restored a 31 chevrolet cabriolet that was much worse than yours and OMG much harder to get parts for.

Re: My first A. If anyone can speak on this it is me. I started with less.
NO I would not recommend trying to restore a car in this condition. You will have a significant amount of time in a car that is never going to be quite right. You will expect to spend $20,000 to $25,000 to get to a finished car, if you can do most of the work yourself. Not to mention the hours you will have involved in work and tracking down parts. That being said. A large part of why I tackled the car I did was as a learning experience. One major goal was to understand how to put a patch in and have level sheet metal when done. A little too much learning in my car. So, who ever ends up with this body I am willing to point you in many directions to get parts and what needs to be considered as you build the body. Volume 6 of the How to Restore books will be your best friend. |

Refusing to quit, is a virtue, only up to a point, Knowing when to quit, is the beginning of WISDOM! (Author Unknown.) Bill W. |
