Sing along with me if you would.
I'm off to see the Wizard.
The wonderful Wizard of Oz.
I'm off because...because...because.............
................there are parts out there that "need" to be in Kansas City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After 30 plus years of buying and selling 409 "stuff".................I finally own my very own set of 63 Z-11 front fenders!!!!!!!!!! And they are in beautiful shape!!!! Very few dings and bumps!!! Could not believe how nice they were!!! At 8# a piece....probably worth $4.09 at the crusher!!!! Got a "sniff" of these on Sunday night so called on Monday morning and left on Friday morning. The picture is self explanatory..............they spent the night with me INSIDE the motel room!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now...........the decisions have to be made. I guess my options are:
1. Sell them outright. Don't really want to put them on my 63. Not practical as I want to drive the car...if I ever get it finished!!
2. What I think I really want to do...........we are trying to see if there is any connection with any car. If there is...I'd like to restore the fenders to the color and lettering as they were on that car. They are mis-matched numbers so would have been used on 2 different cars. Restore the fenders to 2 different cars. Add all the lettering and moldings and would make great Wall Art!!! I'm sure Hayden would let me letter one up like his 63. I think the resto would look great with all the little bumps and dents left in place.
3. I have always wanted to cut about 12" off the side of a car and mount it on the wall. 12" would give you some hood and decklid and front and back glass along with part of the roof. Mount everything on a wall......and have the door open!!! That way I could have the whole side of the car to paint and letter!! And when you opened the door............the rest of the interior would be painted on the wall. But the window would have to be in the closed position SINCE IT IS A RACE CAR BRAIN!!!! Neat project and probably hard to move!!!!
4. Turn my 63 into a Z-11 but really don't want...or have the money...to do that.
Here is the picture from the motel room. I'll post more this week.
