Body wood at auction
I'm at a auction. There are a lot of bundles of old body wood here. I'm guessing they are seperated by what car they are. This guy had a model a restoration shop. What would be a good price for these. Probably good for patterns.

Don't know about value, but if he has any for a Model A Deluxe Delivery, get them, cause I can use some wood patterns and Rowdy probably can too!

Re: Body wood at auction
Got all the wood loaded up. It was labeled a-400 deluxe pheaton and 30 Vicky. There was all so a set of deluxe pheaton front doors under the pile. And some new patch panels. Most stuff there went pretty cheap. Got some rebuilt starters for 30.00 and rebuilt generators for five bucks each. Got a bunch of seat frames for roadsters and phaeton. And that was all I could fit in the bed of my truck.

Re: Body wood at auction
It will be tough. There are some rough pieces. I paid 20 bucks for the lot. An got a set of deluxe phaeton doors out of the pile. And all the patch panels and some garnish molding. I wish I would have taken a trailer. And stayed to the end. My seven year old son came with me. And was really surprised at how long he lasted. Most stuff went pretty cheap. Perfect example of why to sell before you pass. If you are worried about what stuff goes for.

Re: Body wood at auction
That's the problem, when some stuff goes too cheap, it's the scrap dealer buying it, and it's gone forever. I was at an auction about 7 years ago where the scrap metal dealer was buying a lot of good parts just to be turned to scrap itron. I drove to his scrap yard two days later and bought all the parts I could fit into my Omni. I should have brought my trailer to save more good parts.

Re: Body wood at auction
I don't have a Vicky. I would like one one day. I may never do anything with it. But someone may can use it some day.

Re: Body wood at auction
Jack, I may have some good news on the wood in May. Have made all I can find patterns for to this point. Have a promising lead, but will not have any details on it til then, so if nothing else pans out. Both people on the HAMB that said they have patterns etc have turned out to be deadbeats. Rod

Re: Body wood at auction
Well, if we hang in there, Rod, someday we'll get ahold of all the patterns we need!
