Default Shhhh their sleeping
Helped Mr Rainmaker Ron hack and slash these out into the world again, I know you guys like pictures. Alot of posion ivy and cockerburrs, haven't gotten itchy yet!






Believed to both be 28/29 roasters. There is a very weathered engine and trans hiding between them under a fender. One with the body isn't too bad frame wise, other in the front has a broken frame...

Neither is a roadster. The more complete one is a coupe. The least complete could have been a coupe or a tudor. No difference in the cowl or doors between the two. Rod

The one in the rear looks to be a Sport Coupe ... atleast from what parts of the roof that are left...

Is there a little bit of pickup bed peeking out there too? Sport/business coupe can make a good looking roadster. Having no bead along the bottom of the body like a true roadster makes for a really small, racy looking car. Good luck with the snake/ spider relocation program!

Yea that is a pickup bed, not a model A. Way to big. I looked on the tailgate for any sign and its pretty plain. looks to be a late 30's 40's pickup bed. Its a homemade farm trailer (single hitch pin, no suspension, a front and rear model A axle welded directly to the frame rails.

If you squint up your eyes you can see an open wheel roadster with a banger motor!

Fortunately, it looks like the caps were still on the gas tanks.

I wouldn't have much hope for those gas tanks and there is a frame straightening challenge coming too.
