The 35 left home today, for hopefully greener pastures.
I've ordered and payed for new rear tires for Hudson.
It's all going on. Here's a few pics.

Welcome Jeff, I think you will get all the support you need here, I do.  And believe me I jump around a lot...

Hey Jeff...It's always rough to see um go but something better always seems to fill the void.

Glad it's going to a good home.  The extra cash will help I'm sure!

Kiwi, If you keep your foot out of the Hudson you won't have to sell your other projects to buy rear tires for it.    Glad you found a good home for the Chevy.

Hopefully he will build it into a nice car

I would have loved to carry on with it, but with having to many projects, and not getting any younger, it was going to be to much. My 28 Hudson Speedster project is also on the quitting list, and I've advertised that too.
The 29 Hudson Hot Rod will be my only toy, and I'm good with that.
I'm going to sell that in a few years, and would like another 30s Chevvy. They seem to go for around a grand down here for rusty project ones, so not hard to find another.
I'd love to get a 34or 5, and do the same thing.
We'll see what happens.

"and not getting any younger"

Ha, you're one of the youngsters around here unless your age is one of those metric number us Yanks don't understand

Kiwi. I hope it all works out for you, amd the new owner. I am thinking along the same lines after selling the last few of my builds. The roadster I have now is my keeper, and the only one I really want and need, but other build may follow.

OK Jeff...Be honest with us..We all know you really hated to see her go.

[Kiwijeff]

I'm turning 50 this year, but my 32 yr old girlfriend keeps me young,  haha.
Moose, love your work, but your best work is when you get ya humour on.
Still tell people what you did to the Impala Limo I put up for you to mess with.

Kevin, the guy who delivered the 35 to top of the South Island for me on Friday, told me yesterday, that it all went smoothly.
The next guy, who was to pick it up, take it across Cook straight on the ferry, then deliver it to Rodger in the North Island, was supposed to pick it up on Sunday.
Good thing Kevin took it up Friday, as the next guy was there, two days early, to pick it up.
That means, Rodger should get it today, Sunday.

Kiwijeff Around here the auto dismantlers auto wreckers and steel man  have gotten all the old cars all the old busses and all the old farm machinery and anything of wteel worth picking up. I had such a hard time finding a descent running 25o and just this friday past the wife and I went to the US of A to pick up a descesnt 250.There is nothing left anywhere not even in the outback OH and yes they even went into Quebec hauling out all the steel  Now the steel prices dropped but not the prices on anything made of steel  vette59jdwl

Vette, that sucks.
Kevin's brother owns an Autowreckers, and we picked up some 34 Chev parts in the city a few year back, not long after I brought the 35.
I brought five wire wheels off him, but a few months later, when I didn't buy engine, box, diff and front end off him, he sold it to the scrapper.
Some just have no respect for history.

Yeah that's rough, but to most people it is just that, scrap, and they don't realize it could be repurposed by someone. Once these parts and cars are lost to scrap prices we are left to make or buy new parts for our cars. Thankfully there is some good vendors to fill the void.
