Wow, you took a major hit, my condolences to you and my high respect for your renewed life. Gods speed 

Now, that car, that must be a great deal of fun to show that to the public. 

The 31 got so many waves and thumbs up, even from HWY patrol, so I beeped the horn back at people and then I realized TANK never got a horn. So, out to the 49 parts truck I went. Pulled the rusty horn. Cleaned it up and installed it. Works great.  

Also poached the heater a few years back from the 49 and got it going too. I ended up installing a 12v to 6V power supply to run the fan motor and not burn it up. At some point I also needed the starter out of the 49. I still go back to the B2B. Parts trucks ROCK. All Merle's fault. When I brought the 49 home I was asked "what are you gonna do with that." I joked and said its gonna be yard art.  She said, "Hmmmm... OK, his  name is ART."

My condolences on your loss. A good reminder to enjoy life while we can. 

 

Beautiful looking vehicles you've got there, for different reasons, but, both very nice. ?

Great story at first! Sorry for your loss. We are all stewards of these old classics, and i get the need for parts vehicles. Got one for free, then another for $300. And then he threw in another non related truck and a studebaker box for free. I cleaned up his yard and ended up with treasure.
