People who let cars rot

[Weirdo]

Correct me if im wrong..

But that hearse being a Eureka... Which is probably well... .... ... ....To this day no longer.
Being a Eureka, 1956, The Majority of it would be wooden?
I had a 1955 Ford Customline Hearse a while back, The majority of it was wooden, So i know what it looks like aged, hah. And come to think of it, If Eureka built wooden frames like Australian Coaches were built - Wooden frame then metal coating.

I imagne if the floors etc were bad enough as is, the only reeeeaaal fact that would be stopping someone with enough drive to restore it would be a rotten wooden frame? Right?

If my memory doesnt f' me over, Im pretty sure they got rid of Wooden frames on Eurekas in 1957. Same with a few Australian Bodied hearses, The wooden phase wore out in the late 50's.
Again, Correct me if im wrong.. :|

Mr. Frank, I hope you catch on fire.

He did catch fire, so I banned him before he could burn the whole forum down.

lol nick....get to buyin then i want your miller!

[Dickey]

hehe, to most people I'm a curmudgeon already. I aim to keep the car as I suspect I'll do a little from time to time and so long as it can be kept out of the weather I don't feel too bad about it. I do need a bigger shop though.



btw - excellent work on the floor pans

Dickey, a mean old man? doubtful... Not with a DeLorean, a Merc and a hearse!

A '58 Cadillac Eureka is one of my top 3 dream coaches. If you decide to sell, let me know, and Ryan can buy my 58 Miller!

BTW, Ryan, I finally found where the last mouse nest was in my '58. I could smell it coming from the dash... So I took it apart and found the nest and a whole lot of excrement. the dash frame had to come out for a thorough cleaning and to be repainted, and when i removed the air duct tubes, the plethora of mouse turds rolled out like a little girl had spilled her bead collection... but the smell is gone now!

I have a 58 3 way that is currently just sitting. Not for a lack of funds, just motivation. I got the car able to move around, put disc brakes on it and then just kind of lost steam on the project. It is kept indoors but there is every possibility that I may not touch the thing again so far as its restoration goes. I don't sell it because I don't have to and I'm pretty sure if I did, I wouldn't be able to find another like it. Besides that I don't want to chance anyone making it into an Ecto clone and I know if it is in my possession that isn't a possibility. Whenever I look at it I can only see the cool ride that it could be though. Part of the psychosis I think. I'm sure at some point over the next 20-50 years I'll have gradually switched over to just being a mean old man with several old cars rotting away but for now, those are my reasons for what I have and where I'm headed.
