John Deere Rescues a 57 Ford!

[Jeff Norwell]

....well,.... part of one.
Gracious HotRodDonnie had a front frame clip and asked me if i wanted it.. to come get it....Last weekend i buzzed up to his homestead and we man-handled it into my pick-up-(note to self---bring more guys)
Anyhow..it's been sitting in my pick up bed for a week now and I did not have a way of getting it off.... my cherry picker would not reach.
My pal across the way ... Big Mike got his John Deere and we got it situated.
I was talking about this clip to Jay(Ecode) and he mentioned Tom S. needed a front crossmember..... Well,.. it's the only part thats missing..... sorry Jay..and very sorry Tom....I hope I did not get your hopes up too much.
And not to worry about the rest of the car..... it was rotted beyond repair...... like...it became one with Mother Earth.




Like Pat F. sez..... Saving one 57 Ford at a time.... or in my case one piece at a time.

Jeff
    Don't be sorry! 
    The piece that Tom S needs is still there.  He needs that curved piece in the picture that the engine mounts connect to and has a bolt connecting it to the front lower A frame.  Not the front crossmember.
    Tom S get in touch with my friend Jeff.
     A picture is worth a thousand words.
     I can't see the wheels that good are they slotted on non slotted?
     Glad that you have it home.  Will the new brakes be in  your car by Saturday?

Phew!!...Jay!.I was worried!
The engine crossmember is in EXCELLENT shape!
The wheels are stock slotted units.
There is a ton of parts I can use on this clip.

[Ecode70D]

Well I guess that we ain't gonna run out of slotted wheels are we?
Glad that the cross member is in excellent shape.  Save all the parts  that you even remotely think that you might need.  You don't know what might be missing from your next car.
