FWIW, there's already a picture where some kid who
somehow snuck in around all the cops, with a wet, rusty 12-inch chunk of leaf
spring in his hands. I come across that now and then, but usually the car
has to sit in the mud for 30-40 years before they start breaking. My '57
Dodge wagon that's sat since the mid-60s has good springs under it.
Given all the places they didn't even bother to
paint on these (inner fenders, upper fenders, inner quarters) and how fast they
rotted just as drivers...

I have been watching that Olkanewsnet, but still
haven't been able to see the lift. A lot of uninformed TV talkers,
trying to sound like experts. Boyd Coddington is a great example.
The water Marks on the walls might be condensation marks, and if the wrap did
any good, the car could be very nice. I haven't been able to find a
video of the events from any of these sources, but that Oklanewsnet does give
a typical TV show, missing the main event and talking to extras. Someone
on that show mentioned that the rip in the bodywrap near the left tailfin was
done accidentally by one of the workers while moving around the car. She
was excited that the fin underneath and the bumper there looked
shiny!
If anyone knows about the recording of coddington
when he saw the car, I would be interested in the link.
I was on my way to Tulsa on Wednesday, from
Farmington,NM about 300 miles out, almost to Tucumcari, when I got the
call from the store. "Mike, the machine isn't working right; we've run
out of water."
Hmmmm....
Back to Farmington. I found that a switch
had tripped, and the equipment is now functioning just fine, the trip was
scuttled. I am really interested in any feeds and pictures.
