General Discussion / Road trip back to ND

« on: May 10, 2013 12:27 AM »

My plan is to leave the evening of the 23rd in either a rental or a borrowed 1 ton duallie, drive the 1600 miles in 24 hours, sleep at my sisters place in South Fargo, head to the farm Saturday morning (my birthday!), clean up the farm, trade three cars for one T body, load up every salvageable piece of tin/motor/workbench and my rolled 1978 bronco on a rented car trailer, head out sunday night, take the south route through the Tetons/Yellowstone, unload at my new house (with a miniature garage), take a shower and get ready for work!

The last trip I did like this was in my T bucket and solo, so I hope this one is just as fun with buddies and hauling old tin instead of driving it!

Wanted / 1926-1927 Model T sedan/coupe or 1928-1929 roadster/sedan/coupe WTT

General Discussion / Bringing up old threads?

« on: January 24, 2013 7:00 PM »

I have been doing a lot of cruising through threads and have found some really cool stuff! My question is that there are a lot of threads from quite a few years ago so what is the general opinion about bringing up a four year old post to ask for an update? Don't want to be a noob responding to things no one has discussed in forever! Thanks

For Sale / 1948 Ford Tudor Sedan Project

I am cleaning out my car projects on my grandparents farm in North Dakota. My grandpa bought me this car 15 years ago and it turned out to be too expensive for us to tackle so we robbed parts off of it for two T bucket builds. We bought a 1947 that had been T-boned for more parts so it goes with the first car as well. Between the two there is enough straight sheetmetal to have a great start. No running gear goes with either (front suspension, rear suspension, engine or transmissions). Just bodies, frame and dashes, with most of the interior though only one seat I believe. I will be back in the spring to grab whatever does not sell. Shoot me questions. If you want to see this or the other car (1948 Chevy) we can work something out, but due to the hurdles I only want to do this for someone serious about buying.

$1250.00

Thanks,

For Sale / 1948 Chevy Fleetline Sedan

I am cleaning out my car projects on my grandparents farm in North Dakota. I bought this car from a friend's dad 20 years ago, but it was too big of a project for a HS kid. As far as we got was pulling the stuck 216 and vacuum shifted 3 speed. It is remarkably intact, some rust and body damage (see pictures). Almost everything for the interior is there and only one or two cracked glass pieces. I believe the rear is stuck and slides one wheel. I will be back in the spring to grab whatever does not sell. Shoot me questions. If you want to see this or the other car (1948 Ford) we can work something out, but due to the hurdles I only want to do this for someone serious about buying.

Newbie Intros / New from Portland!

Actually I am from Fargo where I grew up, HS in Sioux Falls, college back at NDSU and then off to Oregon where I work as an Architect (still working on my license though!).

Learned about all I know from my grandpa on his farm out by Valley City. We built him a T bucket first and then one more traditional for me that wasn't done until after I moved out west. About three years ago I couldn't wait any longer and flew home to drive the car out. Since then it has been amazing actually being able to work on it and some other cars in my free time.

Glad this site was brought to my attention and happy to be here to learn and maybe share what I am doing! Plus whenever I make it back to God's Country it will help me connect with other car people!
