thanks

I am perhaps the luckiest guy alive..

Earlier this fall (at hershey) I managed to buy a pair of 36 ford woodie wagon quarter panels..



after finding the quarters, and having enjoyed my 40 wagon this year, I decided that perhaps I should try to find a 36 wagon project.

I searched high and low.. and "left no stone unturned"

then about 3 weeks ago.. I get an email from TIM, who is a hamber (and friend) from Texas..

Tim had noticed my post about the 36 ford woodie quarters, and mentioned that he wouldn't be getting to his 36 woodie wagon project anytime soon. As a result.. he wondered if I would be able to use it..

he was even good enough to send this teaser photo.


apparently the car had come out of CT, in the spring of 2009.

the problem.. of course.. was getting the car here from Texas.. shipping costs were an issue, and once the car was here.. where would I put it?



then he sent this photo.. and I decided I needed a trailer too.


luckily the trailer was available, (at a good price) and as luck would have it, Tim was planning to head to Vermont for Thanksgiving.. he could bring the car, and trailer if I was interested..

we struck a deal.. and last night I met tim about an hour from home to do the handoff.. 30 minutes later i was headed home with something new to be thankful for..

because it was dark when I got home I didn't get a good look inside..
i knew the project came with a second frame.. (what i was told to have come out from under a 40 ford woodie)


and this is what greeted me when I unloaded this afternoon.




what I didn't realize, and what Tim failed to mention, was that in addition to the 36 woodie wood there was a good deal of 40 ford woodie wood also included in the deal..

some of which.. will be used to replace the wood on my 40!

Thanks TIM..
