I was able to find a really nice person near Tacoma Washington who had seven wheels with good tires on them from a 1939 truck. So the two of us jumped into a pickup and drove 2,000 miles in two days to purchase them. Then two days later, we were home. After they were put on, the truck looked so much better as it was now standing proud. The next issue was the engine/transmission was swapped out many years ago. I wanted a true 207 engine and I found another really nice person just south of Washington DC. So we again jumped into a pickup and drove all day so we could purchase it and have it loaded before sunset. The next day we were home again.
All along, I've been working with another really nice person that has kind of become my mentor. We've met him and he has shown me all of his interesting projects. (Thank you Mike, this means a great deal to me). To sum it up, everyone I've had contact with (via Stovebolt) has been so kind and nice! Thank you all.
We've decided to have a restoration shop help us get the old girl back onto her feet. She was delivered this last Saturday and so is about to begin her long journey back to life. I will continue to post our progress here as I plan to be very hands-on throughout the entire process.
I can't wait! Please enjoy and thank you.
