Young Ed Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 I think we need more info on it. Not having a title isn't that big of an issue usually. How rusty is it? Is it complete? Running? Quote
PatS.... Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 I also have a parts car and I'm keeping it as long as there are parts on it. I'm also keeping it whole. If I have to move it, I move one car and not a thousand separate parts:eek: I only paid $500 for a complete, down to the radio, parts car, so If I need a few things it will save me way more than that and I don't have to hunt for parts, they are right here. To keep the neighbors happy, I put some good tires and hubcaps on it and a good carcover. With only the good tires and hubcaps showing, it looks like a real snazzy antique under a cover and nobody says a thing. Joel, keep the parts car until it's given all it can, or at least a year after yours is on the road. Quote
Joel Torres Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 i have it off the orig chassis its on my updated chassis for measurements floors are very typical its a flintstone mobile i could cut the remaining sections and piece my floor back together but its hard for me to slice her even tho i purchased her for this reason tell me to cut Quote
greg g Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 For some reason, this comes to mind...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iffDvXTcm8&feature=related of course with a little east coast flavor... Without rockers it looks like a parts car to me. Quote
billwillard Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 If you are storing it under a tarp you might as well take it to the scrap yard now. When you wrap a car up in a tarp everything rust 10 times faster. Quote

dezeldoc Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Do you want to borrow my plasma cutter? Quote
Joel Torres Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 if i had one i would slice in sec's i would keep qaurter clips and all Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 use what you can in support of your project..accept offers to purhcase for remaining parts..list said parts for sale..lastly..what clip has been grafted to that thing... Quote
Joel Torres Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 thats not a clip its the full chassis of a monte carlo that my green 47 is going to go ontop of the black one is for measurements and stuff Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 as the front end was the most obvious evidence of TWEAKED frame..I just immediately thought it was a clip...thanks for the answer...thought it looked GM... Quote
radioguy7 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 i have it off the orig chassis its on my updated chassis for measurements floors are very typical its a flintstone mobile i could cut the remaining sections and piece my floor back together but its hard for me to slice her even tho i purchased her for this reason tell me to cut I would keep it for parts Quote
Joel Torres Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Posted April 22, 2009 ok im selling myself the idea of keeping on track and slice it up i actually need the doors as my doors are shot im thinking of doing this pull everything off that is bolted down cut the remaining floors that are solid and use what i can to repair my floors cut the rear quarter clips in case i need to repair my car if it gets hit i have the nose in the shed cut out a large section of the roof surrounding the rear window to keep it keep windshield once im done with my rebuild then offer up any extra goodies to the market does that sound like a good plan? as i have no one here to discuss this with Quote
Joel Torres Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Posted April 22, 2009 well i started the dirty deed but i got lots of parts i wonder should i cut the quarter clips Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 You might want to leave the two cowl pieces that contain the front door hinges. They can be pieced in on a car with rust. I bought a pair for possible eventual use on the convertible.......if it ever gets to extensive body work. People are always looking for hood hinges.....including some on this forum from time to time. Quote
Joel Torres Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Posted April 22, 2009 i leave the cowl pieces ? it will go to scrap soon they will crush it do you mean keep the cowl ? Quote
builtfercomfort Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 If you ever might want a big sheet of metal, that big roof might be profitably cut off and stored. Great for floorboards, etc. Quote
Joel Torres Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Posted April 23, 2009 i was thinking that i have to borrow a zawzall from a friend i will save it i am sad to see it get chopped but i did buy it from a junker so in a way i did save 90% of it all ready Quote
dirty dan Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 Did you purchase the custom drive shaft support from Summit? Quote
Joel Torres Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Posted April 23, 2009 yup that the basic model the racing model comes with three bungee cords and a racing sticker Quote
Joel Torres Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Posted April 25, 2009 i gave my donor car a hair cut and im going to keep the rear quarter clips and front in case i ever get hit __________________ Quote
