Look at the pictures of the cars in back round.

eBay Motors: 1937 Ford Woodie Flathead Chassis (item 170240297371 end time Jul-25-08 22:02:09 PDT)

PS-My brother took out his 55 old's 88 this weekend drove to Harbor Tools and when he came out there was a big crowd of people around the car including the fire department well it turned out that the gas tank has a leak the guys were nice enough to place some type of patch on tank to stop the leak.

eBay Motors: Oldsmobile : Eighty-Eight (item 280230453043 end time Jun-15-08 18:00:00 PDT)

Have a Great Week!

God Bless!

I would love to have the money to restore oldies like that for a hobby. I wonder how much of a pain it is a replace the wood part of the woodies, if it is more work than an old steel body.

It also sounds like your brother is now seeing some of the "bonus features" of his new car. I hope there is not much more!

Moostang he collects old cars and thank GOD he has the money to do it, also he was telling me he took off from a red light just normal after he added a bottle of Lucas because it has a small trans oil leak and it burned out in second gear he's going to have the trans re-sealed this was just a temp patch and I already found a place to have the gas tank rebuilt.

Yeah I agree. I wish I had the money and the resources to have my own garage and restore old cars like that. I would not go quite as old though, my pet would either be a 1967 Mustang Shelby GT350, or 500..... or a 1969 Dodge Charger RT with the 426 Hemi. But dreams are dreams...LOL... and yes I know I am a Chevy boy, but my brother has already laid claim to a 1973 Corvette Stingray, so I chose the other two. No pickin! LOL......
