[DML] Parts Car...one more time...

[Josh Haldeman <jhaldeman@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey Gang,

Well, in my efforts to help Ken and Dave Bauerle with parting out 
unrestorable cars, I've been told about, or come across a few other cars 
out there that have been sitting, or have been started to be parted out, 
and the owners have abandoned them.  I'm happy to report that at least 
three of these cars are now in the more than capable hands of Ken 
Koncelik, and he is in the process of returning them to the road! (that 
makes 8 now for those of you keeping track...haha)

However, after looking long and hard, I did finally find another car 
that had the right combination of elements to be nothing more than a new 
parts car.  It has a few very good components, low mileage, (approx 
30,000) but it is missing some vital elements. (like almost everything 
that bolts onto the car from the passenger cabin back, including the 
engine!) Additionally, the car has been exposed to the elements for 
about 3 years, and the interior pieces mostly need redyed and/or recovered.

Frame is shot...and will most likely be donated to Rich and his new 
welding company.  Wheels are currently being sandblasted along with the 
ones from the fire car, and all the good original NCT tires have been 
saved.  If you have a need for a specific part or parts to get your car 
perfect for Pigeon Forge, and don't have a lot of money to do it...shoot 
me an e-mail off list, (jhaldeman(AT)fuse.net) I can probably help you 
out.  Be aware that these parts are used.  If you are looking for normal 
wear items like door struts, angle drives, brake rotors/calipers, shocks 
and the like, talk to Rob Grady, DMC Houston, John Hervey or your other 
favorite parts suppliers.

I also have pictures, if anyone wants to see roughly where I started, I 
can send them upon request.

Thanks for your time,
Josh

PS- my neighbor has threatened to call the zoning board because my 
driveway looks like a used DeLorean lot instead of a residence, so 
please help me keep her happy by buying some parts! (haha)
