Just purchased a chassis that survived a fire.it is in remarkably good shape,the garage fire burned the structure the concrete floor stayed cool,the Mitchell (aluminum!!) Is perfect,the engine got hot from the gasoline burning bit turns over nice by hand so I'm optimistic,the P.O. said the guy before him had it cut for inserts....the body is gone..she just had 1500 in brakes with cast drums,54 ford steering box,floatmotor and aluminum valve cover survived..dont count burned stuff out,especially if it was on concrete..
