Default Okay, now what?

This poor orphan was offered up to me, so I couldn’t pass it up right? I saved it from certain doom at the landfill.
Now the big decision, part it out, or submit to a very long and expensive attempt to re-do it. I say re-do because I don’t think I could ever “restore” something like this. I have no doubt I could get the mechanicals and steel parts back to par, but my woodworking skills are not a 1/1000 of my Dads. I wish I would have paid more attention Dad.
Still, I would have hated to see this destroyed any more than time has done to it already.
The engine is a later flathead, oh, and I even got a spare engine in the back!
Most of the metal parts appear to be with it, although a couple brackets broken from heavy snow load. Too bad it was stored outside for so long.

Pics to come, not loading now for some reason.

Use the 'Go Advanced' button below and then the 'Manage Attachments' on the page that displays. You'll be able to select the pic files without any further editing. Be sure to select the 'Upload' and 'Done' bottons to complete the process.

Post what hardware (MAC or PC) and what software (Photos on a Mac?) you have and maybe someone will help.

That’s what I’m thinking, I’m working on a 47 business coupe in my shop. Not to mention all the woody specific parts that are left on this.

Bruce,
Trucks for sale!
