Had a pretty good week for a change
Posted: November 8, 2014, 1:52 am
Had a pretty good week around here.
1st, our youngest daughter, Lacey, had her baby. They already have a 3 year old boy and he now has a little sister. Norah Grace seems to be a keeper according to grandma, mom, dad and big brother.
Second, they have had my street torn out for the last month. Finally got it paved! If we are lucky we will be able to drive to our house in a week or so. That beats the 2 block walk to get to the car our truck to go anywhere and carrying groceries and we won't have to fight that all winter.
3rd, in my nightly cruising of Craigslist, I found a complete Mustang II style Heidts suspension kit for....ready for this.....$350. Are you sitting down? It has the polished stainless upper and lower control arms, billet ball joint covers, show chrome spindles, chrome coilovers with polished aluminum coilover kits, a show chrome and billet aluminum Flaming River rack and the billet aluminum brake mounts. Was on a high end show car. He is switching back to a dropped axle so the car is more traditional and just didn't want the stuff cluttering up his garage. Over $3200 when he got it and it doesn't even look like it's ever been mounted. SCORE!
Then, I had a guy contact me and I think the Henry J is moving to southern Arkansas. Trading for a '37 Ford 2 door sedan. 46,012 original miles and rust free. Been parked in a garage in NW Colorado since 1956. This guy bought it in '05 and moved it to Arkansas but never transfered the title and they recently changed their rules so he's getting that taken care of. Complete except engine/tranny. Also comes with the 2nd taillight, a complete TCI composite parallel leaf rear suspension kit with sway bar, new grill, a complete 302/AOD (engine has never been fired, fresh from the machine shop) and new glass. We're waiting for his title to be updated and then I'm headed to Arkansas to trade. Hey, look, a place for a Heidts Mustang II front end kit, what a deal.
Have a good week!
