Well, I will stay subscribed.
I am in Mesa, AZ
My daughter and I started a 67 Roadster some 10 years ago now:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/sCExBasorgqNtNRC8
We recently found another 67 Roadster that has been sitting the better part
of 30 years here in the Phoenix, AZ area. Long story, but dad gave the car
to his then 18 year old son who drove it down from Washington State to
attend Universal Technical Institute in Phoenix to become a mechanic. About
a month after being here, the car was stolen. It WAS recovered, but the
thief stole the engine and transmission and the seats out of it. Chris
didn't have the heart to sell it and swore he would get it back on the
road. Fast forward 30+ years later Chris has to have reconstructive ankle
surgery that he has to pay much out of pocket so he sold all his toys the
house etc and is moving back to Northern, CA with his folks for surgery and
recuperation. He didn't want to let the Roadster go to just anyone, when we
showed him the album and that we wanted to make one driver out of the two
cars, he sold it to us.
So the plan is to "Don't get it right, just get it running" and then go
from there. I need to decide what parts we want to keep and sell or part
out the other car. We have a number of early Roadster parts. A friend of
mine, Ron Hamilton used to buy, repair/restore these cars and sell them.
When we bought his house, his "inventory" of used parts stayed with us. SO
after we figure out what we need, we're going to sell the parts. I don't
have the room to store them.
Hopefully the weather will finally cool off so we can get cracking and get
a roller together.
Let me ask this of the group. It seems there were some front
suspension/steering components no longer available. Is this still the case?
I'd rather rebuild the steering/suspension with new parts rather than
trying to piecemeal with used parts.
