Re: Harvesting Original Parts
That happened to a friend of my dad's with a 40 Ford Woodie Wagon. Many of the hard to find parts were replaced with home made brackets and many other wrong (cheaper) parts after he bought the car.

Re: Harvesting Original Parts
My Dad had a lot of ideas, and his own way of doing things. He always tried to teach his kids certain things. He used to tell me that if you tell somebody you are going to buy something, you buy it. Stick to your word. Even if you want to change your mind it's too late. This goes for selling too. He also had his own ideas when it came to buying cars(he bought thousands in my lifetime). Don't make an offer unless you are serious and prepared to BUY the car. Bring the money with you, and TAKE THE CAR WITH YOU! Lots of things can happen between leaving a deposit and picking up a car! Just think....You leave a deposit with the 75 year old guy on his Yenko, you tell him you will be back Saturday for the car, he tells his son the next day, the son crys the blues about wanting the car, you are out.... It also keeps the seller from last minute joy rides, better offers, and swapping parts. Many times people have lost cars when somebody comes and offers the seller more money.

Re: Harvesting Original Parts
Good advice for sure. I always did the same thing. I might add that if you just have to leave for any reason then be sure to write up anything on paper with all the terms and any conditions on it and have them sign it. At least the son will not get it. It will hold up in any court.

Re: Harvesting Original Parts
Yep used to be that you could take a man at his word.
Now unless there is documented proof that someone said something it is as if it never happened. Karma will come back and smack the ones that lie about what they say and or do.
