[Jeff Norwell]

That....is a piece of S**T.

[PG409]

Boy, absolutely no vision (plan) there at all !!

[Jeff Norwell]

Man.....I guess I rail against this kife,...I know "to each his own".... but that is an abortion.

And he is from Dundas Ontario,......jeeeez.
I wonder if he will bring it to Waterdown? ha ha ha ha

[Davey_Joe]

as often as not.... a guy will start a "vision" with no guidance or help,.... or even a bloody clue!!.... then when they are 'too far' in,... an' they have to bail out of it,... it's totally ruined!! yer right,... a POS!! he had some neat stuff there before he opened his toolbox!!.......... we've had stuff like that happen out here too jeff.... kind o' sad huh??!!.......... a guy here brought home a lovley lil' 28 "A" sedan,... a 'millwright',..(are ya readin' me?),.... an' totally screwed it!!... its sittin' in his back yard,.... totalled!!............ nothin' usable!!...... sad eh??.............

[..77.]

Just exactly what is it that makes this project so bad to you all ?. Is it the bagged suspension or the late model drive train ?. ..77.

[PG409]

The " Overhang " at the front....

[ss34coupe]

lets hope he doesn't get his own TV show.

[grumper]

Man you guys can say what you want, that thing is sweet! I can't find a single thing wrong with it.

[rustbucket]

damn he stole my 'vision'

[meteor]

all I can say is...WTF?

[dale48mrc]

Yup,some people's vision ain't worth a brain cell.

Your kidding,right?:confused:

[..77.]

What dont you like about it ? I see things that I wonder a bit about . But , Isnt that what makes " abandoned" project cars even better . Buy it cheeeep , change it the way you like it .
Personally i think if the bags can be set up right , this thing could be pretty low and easily out handle any leaf spring kinda suspension . And a complete , really late model d/train , MTO cops drive clean can go pound salt over that part. ..77.

Eightty one hundred it is at and six hours to go.....
What duz the body shell itself cost to purchase?

Hugh.........

[John in Oz]

When you look at all the gear that is there it's not a bad buy, sure it will need stripping and doing properly but it is a vehicle with potential and costing out the parts it's not a bad buy at around $8,000. What is a glass body going to cost.

Sure there is things there I don't like the look of right now but it wouldn't take a lot of effort to get it on path or a good starter project for someone.

Just my 2c worth, John

[sqhd]

I looked at that on E Bay a few days ago too, and , although I don't need another project, I thought it was good value for the money. OK, it may not be my cup of tea as it stands, and it looks like some of you also agree, but after some "tweekin" it may just come around to be something nice.

The fact that EVERYTHING is sitting directly on the ground was setting little alarms off in my head. :)

[Cword]

With that mopar drivetrain the interior better be "Corinthian Leather"
:confused:

[Jeff Norwell]

Well see, shall we?
First off..... the angle degree of the engine looks like the last few moments of the Titanic.
Where is the"sweet rake?"....oh, prolly in the woodshed out back.What kind of shell sits out front?....a Diamond Reo or International Harvester?

Tail lights off a utility trailer... sweet..... and that rod hanging down,sure looks close to the scrub line.

Lets move around to the dining section.... those (roll and pleats???) look like my grannys old knickers....I have seen better corrugated boxes look better.
The bucket seats fit suburb.

The wheel combo looks like a refugee from Donk Magazine.....Nice stance..I guess the air is outta the bags on this one.....

Sorry,For $8500 bucks....I could find 50 better "projects".

And believe it or not....somebody bought it.

P.T Barnum was right


nice.

You forgot the boat gas tank in the trunk . I,d like to see the guys face when he goes to get it . Its either gonna be grinnin from ear to ear . Or Oh Sheyitt, no more drinkin an ebayin at the same time ..77.

[Davey_Joe]

jeff,... yer much too critical!! thats a minty 34 chev grille,... an' what looks ta be a halfassed quality fiberglass body,... thats at least got hinges!!!...... an' ta think,... it's even got a happy new owner!!.......

[Jeff Norwell]

Davey Joe...I thought was a bowtie grill(34?).... But the whole thing looks like a snow plow.... out of season!

77..... I hope you don't think I was being a smart ass posting this kissing kousin.... I just RAIL against this type of garbage.
We as Canucks have a steep history in hotrods and drag racing... not as big as our southern brothers, But rich none the less.
This thing could not pass a safety if we all pushed it!.
It's just an embarassment.

[Digger_Dave]

I'm a bit confused.
First the ad says, "Model A"
Then it says, "34"

I have to agree; their MIGHT be some usable parts ... but for that kind of money; think you could buy a whole lot of BETTER pieces!

[choo]

WOW

and I missed it

[34Vette]

I guess I'd better abandon my 34 Chev 5 window Coupe project or at least not post any pictures of it on this site!!!!!:mad:

I'm sure the pictures on the ebay was just a mock-up of parts to indicate what was for sale. Yes I think there are a few massive errors on the chassis build but the sum of the parts is more than the buyer paid. I'm betting that you will see this whole thing parted out and appear on ebay in a very short time and the buyer will come away with some serious coin in his pocket.

My 2 bits worth (2 cents with todays inflation)

[Kustomshoebox]

Maybe I just like to stir the pot... but I don't think so... I woulda bought it. no doubt, just to change almost everything... but still I showed it to my kid... he thought it was cool. I think so too.

[34ford]

:rolleyes:Well Jeff I'm afraid your right on.Thats the worst contrivance I have seen for a while. Well it’s going stateside. Look at it this way take the body and fix the trunk that’s been cut out and build a new rolling chassis .Then take the wheels, they look good, but sell them. Take the motor out and to the scrap yard,,, Sell the grill which looks in good shape and recouped some of your $8500.00 bucks .The interior is trash, but maybe the gauges etc airbags are salvageable .Its actually a good deal for the parts .As for design,,: eek: there is no thought process at all, but a blind man would love to see it.

[..77.]

Jeff . No problems here . This posting actually turned into a pretty good discussion on the subject ..77.

[stovbolt]

I look at it as a good start for some one else there is potential there you just have to have my eyes to see it

[36couper]

Geez, for $8500 it's worth it. Change the front end set up and finish it off and you've got a driver for no more than $15k

[Jeff Norwell]

...and the beat goes on.

[Nifty Fifty]

:eek: I think they should take the body off and sell the chassic and body seperate...
Because when there together it looks awfull:confused:

[stovbolt]

I didn't say it looks good now but the potential is there any one know what one of those bodies is worth with hung doors what shape is the drive train ect,,,ect

[got_an_anglia]

kind o' sad huh??!!.......... a guy here brought home a lovley lil' 28 "A" sedan,... a 'millwright',..(are ya readin' me?),.... an' totally screwed it!!... its sittin' in his back yard,.... totalled!!............ nothin' usable!!...... sad eh??............. Come on Davey only about 85% of millwright's are ducktape and haywire kinda journeymen! And as for the other 15%, we actually have a bleepin clue on how to do things. all i can say is don't count out little jimmy and his anglia! "shock and awe" Ladies and Gentlemen, shock and awe!:cool:

[grumper]

My bidnabber mustn't be working properly, I thought for sure that baby was coming home to my house. Oh well, at least I saved all of the pictures that Jeff posted as a guide to build my own. Stay tuned in the wanted section guys, I'll be looking for a 75 cordoba for the running gear and the fine corinthian leather seats :D
