Today was a Great day. Started off selling a motor and ended up bringing this beauty home. 1962 mostly complete. Motor was gone. Everything else looks great. Im sure these aren't the correct seat frames. Funny thing its missing the tool box cover well i have had this one in the shop for at least 6 years, Guess it was ment to be. I don't know why I put 61 for a year LOL guess I was excited

Thanks this is going to be a long term project. Funny Ive been collecting older stuff for years Looks like there going to have a home. The doors are going to be a learning experience. i cant wait to get everything out of boxes and laid out. They did cut the tunnel for a top shift Bard doors are in great shape, No broken glass, I dig this hobby

Cool find Rob! What is the VIN on this one? I didn't see the hard top sides in my quick glance of the pictures, if you need them I have a set of early high post sides.

Locking hubs LOL AMAZING what you can find when you start cleaning grease off of stuff

It will be easier to store if we get the big parts on. My buddy Chris @71/monarch is helping out. Finished picking up all the rest of the stuff. What a Great day

 

[landcrusher909]

Starting to look like a Cruiser maybe tomorrow I will get the fenders, front clip and hood on
