Need some Help. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This is kind of a sad story, and really isn't related to old trucks, but I thought I'd ask you guys for help anyway.

Last month, my neighbor, a good friend and fellow old car nut, started feeling bad at work and came home at noon. His wife found him dead when she got home from work that evening. The M.E. said a massive heart attack. Anyway , he had recently changed jobs and didn't have any insurance. I've been trying to help his wife out as much as I can by buying some of his tools , and helping her sell his other stuff.

He had a half-finished 1946 Ford 2 door coupe, street rod project in the garage that she is needing to sell to try and cover some of the funeral expenses. I was hoping that somebody in the Dallas/Ft Worth area might be able to help her out, or might know somebody who would be interested. The body has been media blasted and epoxy primed, and He installed a 302 H.O. fuel injected engine , overdrive tranny, and rear end from a late mustang in it already. She's only asking $3000 The parts alone are worth more than that.
Email me at: efharg@comcast.net and I'll send you some pictures and all the details.
Thanks
ED

Ed, I put it on the classifieds at www.southernbowties.com for you. Maybe it will help spread the word..

Thanks for the help, guys.
I know it will be greatly appreciated by his widow.

Here's a picture of the car. It would make a really nice street rod for somebody. If I had the money, I'd buy it and put a big block chevy in it.

You might give Wayne at Lucky's Speed Shop in Garland a call. He might could find a potential buyer for you, great guy. (972)205-9777

Good luck and sorry to hear of the loss.
