Re: 47 Woody
News from the auto shop. They recommend a complete engine rebuild. It obviously needs valve guide seals which requires head removal with a flat head, estimates at about $6000.00 to redo the motor correctly. Add in brakes, gas tank and lines, maybe some suspension pieces and bearings just to be safe and we have a half done project. For a guy who is able to do his own work, I think this would be the ultimate Patina-Woody as the body and interior are good enough to cruise with. (as long as you can stand the smell of mouse wiZZ)

Re: 47 Woody
The car is back home and he has decided to sell it or trade up or down for a 46 Chevy pick-up. figures if you're gonna throw money at something, get something you really want. (great idea) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
I know car guys will get these first three photos. My friend found it odd what amused me.

Re: 47 Woody
 Honestly I was amazed at the condition of most of the wood. The roof is just those slats with (painted?)canvas on the outside.

Re: 47 Woody
If anyone here frequents a "Woody" forum please pass on this link and let me know, I'd be most grateful as I am going to attempt to help my friend move this out and get something he can drive this summer. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
