These were during the unloading.That radiator still has the original cap.But one of the tabs are broken and I will need to have it redone.But that shell and cap will be reused.

This was durin invintory to see what I had.Both my son and my daughter hepled me unload.All sheetmetal is undamaged and look at those headlights.Perfect except for chrome peeling.

 

[35Mastr]

This is the rest.Trans is all there.It even has the pressure plate ,Release bearing and Clutch disc.I dont have pics of the motor but its still in the back of the truck.6 cylinder flathead with 3 cylinders per head.Dizzy sits in the split of the 2 heads.

I am still overwelmed.Gettin the body all back together is going to be my first priority.All the engine parts are for sale.I wont be using them.If they done sell.The motor will be all stripped painted and put back together.Put on a stand and be a conversation piece in may garage.It just has that coolness factor.With the heads being split.

Actually the shell just has that center strip.What you see is the original Honey Comb radiator.

and look at those headlights.Perfect except for chrome peeling.

George, If you decide to use those headlights without doing a sealed beam conversion, there are places that will re-silver the reflectors if they need it.

Santa came a little early to your house this year, huh? You really did good George, those pieces are very nice and solid. You should have no trouble recouping most or all of your investment by selling off the unwanted parts. Do a search on ebay of completed sales and see what similar parts have sold for. Shipping will not be an issue on the bigger stuff because some restorer will drive a little ways to get something he needs.

Don't you just love laying out all those parts for the first time? Everytime I bought a project car from someone I loved going through all the boxes of parts that came with it. The best one was the '38 Chevy sedan I bought one time. Back seat was loaded with box after box of NOS parts and he even had a three ring binder with pictures and notes he had done during the restoration. I spent hours just reading it.

Have fun and keep us posted.

ReSilver?? Please explain this??

George, click the link below. It explains everything. There are numerous shops that offer this service. A halogen conversion can be done also.

ALSO , before you send out for re-silver ... IF they have any dents in them ? ...

Take them to a local MUSIC STORE ... WHUT ?

Music Stores typically have a metal worker on staff that specializes in removing dents from horns ( trumpets to tubas ).

Really??????? That's cool to know. My Sons are Sax players and use a local guy who is fantastic. I'll have to keep that in mind.

[dyce51]

thats gonna make for a sweet ride...looks like you got your work cut out for ya!!!

 

[35Mastr]

Well had some time to finally start mockin the 29 up.This was a basket case when I bought it.Most of the car came home in the back of the truck.The frame is still solid,So I started hangin and pondering parts today.So I am on the brink.Fenders,Verses no fenders.This was a classy car back in the day.This coupe had 7 tires.Four on the ground.Duel side mounts and one on the back just in case.Its goin to run on wide wites no matter what I do.

So the question is,fenders or no fenders?? I am looking for 7-8 inch ride height.Its just in mockup right now.Chassis is going to change.

Pictures to follow.
