Mike, you are going to chop it up anyhow. So long as the back bone is not rusted out, I'd say that is about perfect for what you want to do with it.

Mike -- best of luck on the new project. Where do you get the time or is it just that you don't sleep?

I'm a bit concerned how tight the top of the passenger door to rear quarter seam looks. Hopefully you don't have any sag going on with the unibody around the hellhole.

Andy - I think your right. When I looked at it and told Mike that every pannel needed work, that did not phase him. The rest of it is solid; front & rear trunk, longs, hell hole, etc. It needs work, don't get me wrong, but it is a good platform to start with.

So far it is looking like it is gonna cost $1150 to ship it....we shall see. I also have much of the metal left on my car to repair, modify the body the way I want it. Fenders are of no concern. Man, that is a lot of bondo, though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)


$1150+20=$1170

$20 'bribe' aka gas money, to get the dually truck and toy hauler. beats $70 for a tow dolly.

Hey Doc, I know everyone else says do it... I know free is a great gesture and a great price. Hey, I don't mean to rain on the parade... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) But! The car at free is a great deal! But! At a grand (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I don't know if I wouldn't spend a little more and get one that requires a lot less work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Just one guys opinion.

Hahahahahahaha
There have been like 914 billion PPI threads as Mike has looked at every car on this coast since he cracked up his ride.

Okay, 914 billion is a slight bump of the actual number, but thre have been a lot of threads since April.

Day after Hershey swap meet, Mike lost grip (hard rubber, cold damp road) and the car spun into a pole. The car folded up, DrE got some interesting bruises and Type11969 got banged up a bit - but both were okay. The pole hit on the passenger door. Evil is going to take his custom flared fenders (and all the other go fast bits) off the silver car and put them on the new one. The way the car hit and folded, a lot of his interior is shot, but the engine, driveline, and (most of the) suspension should be okay.

The fuel issue was the result of a failed piston ring that later ate the cylinder. The engine is in good shape now, ready to go in a new body.

Hey Lee, sorry I havent goten back to ya. I am at the hospital now and this is where I usually am (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I dont have time to do this, Scotty is doing most of hte work. I am just installing the wiring, engine, etc. About 1 weeks worth of work for me.

Wanna9146, I have been looking pretty hard for a roller or runner and have been bent over, or left wanting (poor string of euphamisms) on every one. I am still interested in your 71 roller if Scotty thinks it will be less work and expense. PM me or I will you and we can talk.

James, you are speaking like a Californian. I have scoured the whole East Coast and there is a lot of shit, and then over priced shit here. The price to ship this chassis is actually reasonable give the market out here. I was trying to get a runner in better shape so I could drive it to Scotty's and maybe do some preliminary work on it before then, but they all had worse rust than the roller and were about $5k which is $4K more than I needed to spend just to gut and cut a car.


If ya'll realize I am going to be having the fenders cut off, and the rocker panels cut off to be replaced with stuff I have, it really aint that bad. Scotty has an easier body to start with, too, as we dont need to strip a bunch of stuff off to paint it and find hidden rust. I have 2 weeks off coming up after the 15th when I will make time to go down to Scotty's and help work on my own stuff: bus and car. Scotty and I both have the same philosophy that it sucks to work alone....especially on other peoples stuff, so it should be fun and productive.
I wish I wouldnt have cut so many wires on my cars wiring harness, but I think it is largely salvagable. If not, TC has offered to sell me his as well as a dash. I am gonna have to source a windshield as well. My frined swears that he can get them cheap locally....he swears about a lot of stuff, though, that never materializes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) if you know what I mean.

Trevor, $20? You guys work cheap...I appreciate it and will get a check off to you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I booked the mover last night. They shoud be contacting you soon, I hope.

FYI: $1150 was a steal compared to the other rates I got. Most were about $1450-1600. I looked into DAS and they quoted me $860 if it ran and made me call then to get a special quote for my car the was a 74 and did not run......$2300! I was shocked and amused at the same time. That was for depot to depot. All the other ones were for door-door.

Mike, What shipper did you end up using? My Six may end up going West and we are looking at Shippers now.
