well if ya went at it thinking street rod - and had the cab & body pannels media blasted & frame sand blasted it would come togeother pretty quick

ya just have to have a plan to start with & stick to it
really wouldnt be a bad build !

really she has most of the sheet metal &its repairable - i can see front fenders
not sure on box sides & rear fenders - but cab & front ene are there and those would be the hard parts to get
rear fenders could be cut ote of older ford or chev style side along whit box sides - floor was oak so that is do-able

ya just have to have an open mind & a little imaganation

naw, not thinking street rod. new york state would bankrupt me in taxes and fees. do not want to show it or such.

just want to do what I can to not have it rot. ebay has some good stuff for it. NOS tranny repair, btw....heheheh looking at some sights we were told it is a 1940 by Chrysler themselves. just can't match it with some pics, seems 1939 (6,780 versus 140 built woudl make a huge difference)
i can blast it, was thinking of a off the frame as I would have to check out the frame anyways.... oil lines are internal. this is done piece by piece (yup, all parts there!) so matches money with time=completion.

saints won...ahhh...still in high mood!

with the front tires on the ground, all the steering components were tight, no movement that I could get out of them. this weekend, maybe I will lift it up and see if I can move anything around.
Dont see how it could be alignment, I have never had it aligned, so no one has had an opertunity to screw things up.

Still here and never felt a thing. I read: 5.9-magnitude earthquake strikes outside Oaxaca, Mexico. That is considerably south west of me, near the coast. I call where I live Paradise, 'cuz we are between earthquake zones and behind the mountains, so are shielded from the Gulf storms and Hurricanes. On top of that, we have nice weather most of the time, like the sunny 72 degrees we had today.

It runs. It moves. And that's about it for now. Got to catch up on other jobs before I go back to that again.
