Dragged home some junk today

Post by dmdeaton » Fri Nov 06, 2020 5:13 pm

I ordered some new parts from the wagon people out west and scored this for free today. I am building a rusty pickup and might be able to salvage one side of this to make 2 bed sides for the roadster. At the least I got some cool hardware

That's the way to go Danny! It will also give you a guide to the way things were put together in those days. The challenge can be making a new piece to match an old one when you need a pair. Using second hand rusty material gives you a good start.

Very cool. I've been doing the same with hand forged hardware from an old farm wagon. You got the vision, make it happen!

Great save. Anybody can build a new one. Saving old is what I like.
