Title: Help needed
Post by: jumping jack flash on 2017-03-25 21:28
I'm looking at buying another shell. The one I have is certainly worth re - doing, but  the one I looked at is in need  of a lot less work. At the cost of 2k.  I might need intervention as this is the 6 th that I have at my place right now. It will be number 11 in my life. 6 saw action again , and the other 5 are parts only. Number 11 may be gone before I make up my mind, but it's been on the market for a month now. I'll make my move on Monday. Funny thing is , the wife found this one. No intervention from her.

If you have the space, go for it. 

They are not making them anymore.  It's unlikely your going to see off shore "re-pop's" for the 57 Ford body's like they have done on the Tri Five Cheby's.

Go for it !
I have a project 57 in bad condition and was hesitating to buy another one, but still did. Needed a lot less work and I never regret my decision. It'll be on the road soon. the other one can be built later on and maybe even by someone else :003:.

Jack,Jack,Jack, I know a local shrink that can help you. You need professional help and intervention. You just can't save them all is what my wife tells me. Jesting aside, go get it or you'll be kicking yourself from now on. You can always send it down the road to another project hunter. I vote you Jump on it Jack or it' ll be gone in a Flash!!!

Definitely go for it if space is not a problem.

I went to Iowa to get a very clean parts car and it will finish the the 2 roadworthy cars and then some!
