Anyone near this guy that can pick this up and hold it for me?

Title asks the question. This could either be my new wall hanging or a sweet addition to the front of my 914, either way if the price stays low I just gotta have it.

Anyone local enough to pick it up and hold it for a while?


Lemme know before I put any money in on it.


Thanks ! ! ! !

TC -

If you decide to bid and win this item, I could probably pick it up and hold it for you for a short time. I'm about a 45 minute drive from Long Beach. GOOD LUCK!

Peace - Out!

I'm in Long Beach. I'll hold it for you. It'll save Jim the drive. Good Luck.

With Li'Bastard, James Dean will have nothing on you. Will your State let you have a plate that says "BASTARD" - Cory alsready has claim to "MUTT". And I thought he was dangerous with his Saw-Z-All. Some people just have way too much time on their hands.

TC,

When you go to ship that, GREYHOUND is a really good choice. Box it up and ship it "space available". I've shipped a tandem bicycle and a couple of valances that way. Way cheaper than FEDEX or UPS.

Thanks gang ! ! Both for the offers AND the shipping info/option !!

I was poking around in Photoshop and got this far:

Still needs a ton of work and a probably Ghia roof swap, but it might be a project option down the line. Honestly, if the car wasn't a Porsche and it wasn't titled . . . I wouldn't even bother going this far.

The nose COULD make a neat beginning for a 356 based SPECIAL in the British tradition of car building, though.

I may not even win it, but THANKS ! ! ! either way.

TC

TC - would that be a 314 you're thinking of building?

Hey Jim, hey Roy

Hey, Jim, Hold THIS! If you need the trailer to pick this up, call me and we can go get it together. I'd like to see Willhoit's place anyway. If you are short on room, I can put it in my yard.

I think it will fit nicely in the bed of my 3 door PU and the shop is just a mile or so away.
Called there number but apparently not open on this Saturday.

TC, I'm in awe. I bow before your vision.

Roy,

I just got in touch with the sellers and said that you would be coming by for the partial front clip.

Thanks ! ! !


Cory,

Didn't that coupe that you were checking out need a nose clip? If you ever grab that car, you now have a workable clip to go with it. It's waiting at my house for ya.

This one?
It actually has a clip inside, but I like that one there better. It's more 'outlaw' than the stocker in the Annapolis car. Good score, anyway. I'll probably take you up on that if/when it gets titled in my name.

TC you have email

Thanks Roy,

I'm thinking that the very best way to get it off to me is to first trace the contour of the lower hood opening, just put some csrdboard under there and scribe and arc following the hood opening. Kinda rest the marker against the rain channel and follow it around with the marker.

This will give me an assembly guide to put it back together.

Then bust out the Sawz-All and just cut it into three neat equal sized pieces, two fenders and a mid section. These ought to fit into a box or tape together no problem and ship easily.

I'll email you my address and all for a shipping quote. And THANKS ! ! ! ! !

TC

Ahhh. A chance to get out my sawsall!

BWAAAAA-HAAAAAA-HAAAAA!
(That should be under the Sarah Palin for VEEP thread.)

TC Waiting for your email with a package that is a tribute to 3m tape...

TC just an update pic while waiting for you to email your address. As you can see the sawsall
operation went fine (only a few blade adjustments required) Staying within the lines was easy after a while. It was a bit#$ to wrap into a nice neat bundle to ship though. Thanks to 3m tape it is now very ready.

TC the voracious California termites have about decided that very old german steel is edible.
If you still want your front end clip precision cut (per your instructions), packaged into an very expensive corrigated container..... better send shipping instructions soon!
Roy
