ATTN: James LaLonde -- another D parting out on eBay

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

Another D is currently being parted out on Ebay. Will eventually get
down to pontoon (with perhaps a frame attached?). If you're truly
serious about restoring 1697, would probably be path of lesser
resistance. Didn't want to say anything before, but these little
silver cars seem to be one step below unibodies after a collision --
no telling how force of impact affected entire body structure (you
already see what it did to driver's rear). I'm sure frame is OK (is
more massive than my Lincolns!). I'm just concerned about everything
bolted to it.

Other thought: rustle yourself up a pitiful fixer upper. The more
pitiful, the better (translated: cheaper). All you need is intact
fiberglass (and a hood & fender). Two people could probably lift off
and transfer to your frame, which conveniently includes the engine &
driveline already bolted up!. Really isn't much to the interior -- you
could transfer yourself over a couple of weekends.
BTW: you didn't mention windshield damage -- did it survive intact?

Keep us posted,
