I thought I picked up tough projects!! Fantastic! How long did it take you and did you have all of the parts?

Well done! For me the restoration from rust to riches is why I am involved in this hobby.

Did I have all the parts no. But I did have a running gear. I used to have lots at the Charlotte race track. So I found most of the parts I needed there, plus had some before I got the truck. I had to buy new top irons. |

Nice truck, George. Hey, I am right down the road from you, on I-40 just as you hit Wilmington.

Re: Roadster pickup as found and done
Nice George. Thats the kind I start out with. I`m retired and on a fixed income with lot`s of time and limited money. makes you feel proud to make something from nothing. my avatar pic is a car built out of spare parts. no complete car to start with. Just got a 1928 depression era farm truck that was a 4 door. and very rusty sheet metal that came off of it in 1943. keep up the good work it makes us all proud....Dave

Re: Roadster pickup as found and done
I love these re-birthings! When you see a relic like you did you really have to see the diamond in the rough and you sure did! Nice.

Re: Roadster pickup as found and done
Thanks George.. we may not have high points cars but we built them on our on. Out of cars most would run from! we should have a class of Phoenix cars. Raised from the ashes......I enjoy my cars that is what they were made for. And to bring families together in projects that can and are enjoyed by the grandkids, neighbors, and friends....keep up the good work,,,,,Dave
