SC38dls Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Should be finished soon if you can just figure out where that part belongs on the car. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 This lighthearted post was inspired by an ad I saw recently for a Ford Model T frame that got me thinking about starting with a single part and building a finished car around it. The idea of starting with something simple like a frame or engine seems like it would be an interesting challenge! Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8E45E Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 The next box of corn flakes might have a different part you need 'free inside' it. Hopefully you'll attain all 6,236 parts without any two having the same part inside, or before the free offer runs out. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Walling Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Whatever you do, don't try and find a grille for a 31 Essex. After searching for 2 years to get a good one I splurged and went high buck for one on Ebay. After receiving it, a fellow in New Zealand pleaded to buy my rusted one. He was bidding on it at the same time and he hesitated when the price went up. I told him that I was keeping it in case I was in an accident. You will notice that I was missing the rear doors until I found them off of a Hudson in Denver. PS, the hubcaps are pretty cheap, I have about 9 of them, looking for the perfect ones.

SC38dls Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Roger I have a pretty good idea where there is a radiator cap in good shape if you need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you but I have a replica of the flying goddess that gets quite a bit of attention. The car has been modified, It used to be a two door but I converted it into a limo. That's why I had trouble locating two more doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
