That's a heck of a first post! Welcome to the forum. Looks like the donor car got some serious mods.

Rich,
Thanks for the welcome, hopefully I can add something beneficial to Forum in the future.
You are also correct about the donor car being modified, it received a R&C rack/pinion/coil-over front end kit along with a Mustang Cobra IRS rear end and Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes with hydro-boost. Power was provided by a 482 cu in FE via a Pond aluminum block/BBM heads & a 2x4V tunnelwedge and a TKO 600 5 spd. Vintage Air, pwr windows & locks & tilt all gave him a little more comfort.
I tried to keep the car as long as I could for "road testing" but owner finally saw thru that & took it home so he could enjoy it. Will try to post a picture as soon as I can.
Thanks again for the welcome, Rick

Don't you think these 2 guys deserve an applaud? I sent them one for their generosity .I mean , really giving away steering columns, and grills? Give them a round of applause.

I dunno. Call me paranoid, but all kinds of red flags go up when people show up out of nowhere offering free stuff. If they're legit, good for them but for now I'll remain skeptical.

Puzzling- the first post said parts are located in Knoxville, TN and the last post they are located in Ann Arbor MN.

Didn't look close enough I guess, thought they  were the same guy. Funny that there hasn't been much feed back from either party.  I even emailed the first one with no reply for the grille question.
Title: Re: CLAIRIFICATION regarding " FREE '57 Ford parts " ad.
Post by: fordloverracing on 2017-12-17 19:49
Seems to be a little mis-understanding of the ad I posted Nov. 21, 2017 regarding Free '57 Ford parts. I was and am still located in the Knoxville, TN area, I have given away 80% of the "free" parts and will scrap the balance since they are not worth the hassle of shipping.
The brake/clutch pedal assembly is the only part the owner of the parts wants to try and sell.
The other " '57 Ford parts" poster has a grille available... not me.
Sorry if my ad caused any confusion, not sorry if someone just wants to be a jerk.
Thanks for the space, Rick

Rick......certainly nothing to apologize for, your ad was not confusing at all. Your time and offer was very generous and much appreciated. Thanks again.

Sorry Fordlover for any confusion I have caused. I did email Kennedy, and not you about the grille. Just trying to be an honest broker who needs a good left side grille.

Fordlover, don't be offended by what was said, this is a great site and has many members willing to share information. Your welcomed here and your generosity is appreciated. We're all 57 brothers and have a common bond. We're all bulls and bucks and get ahead of ourselves sometimes too. All I have is good to say about experiences here are better than other sites. Welcome aboard.
