Big thanks to Dwayne (Evilelvis)! Although a deal was worked months ago, I hadn't made the time to retrieve 960 miles each direction. Didn't want this sitting through another Colorado winter, so I placed an ad on uship.com.
Bids dropped until I accepted one for $525. Shipper promised to pick up within 5 days and drop off within 5 days after that. Well, that was a month ago after a couple delays... Friday the 13th is rather befitting anyway!
Been gathering parts for awhile. This metal isn't a bad starting point.
Maneuvering this beastie was tricky!
Managed to squeeze it through the gate. For those unfamiliar, this Photochop is the master plan:
Luckily, I purchased 2 '60 Buicks about a month ago to donate their roofs.
Figure if I screw one up - there is a spare. If it goes well, another roofless coach can be salvaged.
Still could use a '57/'58 rear bumper if anyone knows of one in a wrecking yard. Also, need to find a set of '57 fins to graft.
Pretty stoked! I'll post a build thread when it gets underway. Back to the grind for now...
