Are there any members here who plan on attending the preview?
I'm interested in a couple cars, but would greatly appreciate a "in person" evaluation prior to bidding. I'm in the midwest and can not attend the preview. Thanks in advance.

PM sent…

I went to look at this '48 and it's definitely a project, but the seller has a title and he's asking $1,800 (hinted that $1,500 would buy the car).

Craig- not sure why the other pic's don't open. I use photobucket to load images on other forums I belong to. I assume maybe they're to large. I'd be happy to send them to you if you want to PM me your email.

since the caliper bolts are the factory GM bolts that were used on 10's of thousands of GM cars, I suspect they'll hold up just fine....

booster came with the pedal assembly and was a easy install. wiring harness was removed as I'm re-wiring the entire car.

Just thought I'd pass along some pictures of my disc brake conversion. I wanted to upgrade the brakes on my 1950 but couldn't afford the expensive option(s) that are out there. I found a like new set of rotors, calipers, hoses and all associated front brake parts from a '78 Camaro on craigslist and then bought a disc brake conversion kit from a on-line vendor. The kit was designed for late '40's to early '50's Chevy's but only required minor machining to the mounting brackets. The only trick was having the spacers machined for the spindle to allow the late model rotor's to bolt up. A good friend who owns a machine shop turned them for me at a very reasonable cost. ALso added a firewall mounted master w/ booster. All together I have about $400 invested in the entire conversion. I'd be happy to share the details if anyone is interested.

Yes, that's the one!

Hey guys,
Did everyone catch the American Pickers episode this evening? (3/1/17) They showed Mike Wolf's brother Rick moving a '29 coupe from the second floor of a car museum. They had to get it to the first floor using a 100+ year old elevator. Seems the car "almost" didn't fit! Interesting to know what comes of this car, it looked to be in very good condition. I assume this happened last summer/fall as the filming usually runs months later. Anyone know more about it?

As mentioned, the Volo Auto Museum does have many vehicles on display as a "museum", but their main business is consignment.
I have know the Graham family (owners) for many years and they have been in the collectable car business for decades.
If a pre-inspection would help, I'd be happy to go take a look...
