Solution Veemoney Posted November 24, 2023 Solution Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Welcome to the site. Hope you can show us a picture you may have of the car soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan_B Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Hi Nicolas, do you have any pictures of the car to share? Did you buy the car in person or through an agent? I've used agents to look at far-away cars for me, a couple of times and, once I saw their reports, with illustrations etc., I've widely disagreed with the assessment results, for some reason. They rated the car considerably better than it actually was ? Did you already buy the service manual? It's a good read to prepare yourself for when the car gets there. What kind of questions do you have? What city are you from? I've been to Paris a couple of times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Welcome to the forum. When you get to the point of needing parts shipped over look up rdusaclassics.com. One partner in US (splits his time between Massachusetts and North Carolinna) and the other is in Rotterdam. Check out their website. They ship vehicles and parts by container several times a year, so if you can get to Rotterdam they maybe able to assist with your project. Mark is a member of this site, when he is in Massachusetts, he is about 15 minutes away from Burnbaum parts, and Roberts Motor parts also. Both of those vendors have online catalogs. Check out thier stuff. Vintage Power Wagons is also a good source for mechanical parts. Hope your Dodge arrives safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan_B Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 The car appears to be in rough condition Do you have experience restoring junk-yard vehicles? If not, this is going to be a very interesting project. Why would you buy something like that, from abroad (no parts, etc.), in the first place?

Because i love 30s cars since I am a kid and want to do a custom ) taildragger, so I dont need an original car in good condition. Just need a shell and frame, this is just métal ?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
