CAR HUNT! or BOF & me car shopping!
Hey guys, just a quick update and the following special
CAR HUNT! FABOZENE
Announcement:
I am sorry for the turn from A Body Car hunt to "Find whatever tow rig and future income as possible" thread. My life is such right now where everything I'm purchasing is from little IRA all I had to my name. We learned early on here it was not working due to me missing so many cars due to no ride or second driver. That's what made us take the ugly turn.
We went up yesterday finally to purchase the dump truck. Went on test ride, I value my life more than the owner does and would not make an offer on the death trap. Needs tie rod ends and other front end repairs. Ran Great, rode like Death Wish 2010!!! Wouldn't even make an offer and made mental note of the "FAKE" DOT inspection they just did at the garage!! Won't take anything there unless I want a death trap DOT APPROVED!! Oh Brother!!!!
The owner was nice though!!!!
Took ABB to see car hauler said I was nuits if I didn't get it! Runs now. Needs power steering hose. Ordered from NAPA will be here today at 8AM. Dirty White Boy is meeting me here at 10:30 and we are going up to install ourselves ($17.99) and test drive. If it runs out ok will be bringing home thismorning!!! NEW FABO CAR HAULER for the IN, KY, OH, IL, TN, NC areas!!!! WOOO Hooo!!! Better not count on it too much till we drive it!
Also an auction starting at 10Am today close by with a couple of dump trucks like what were looking for and a 99 Ford conversion van with only like 50K miles!! Lets see.....should I delay the car hauler to go to auction first buy dump truck the haul butt over to get car hauler...
Bird in hand VS. bush!!!
ABB says don't let anything get in the way of the car hauler. Get it home first and if fate deems it so the dump will still be at the auction when I get there or it wasn't meant to be. Find another Dump truck! Already spotted a 1960 IH dump that looks really good and could be put in car shows. The guy wants 1800 for it!!!
I'll keep you guys posted and get some pics if we bring the car hauler home, were going to load a Dart on it to check deck and get pics for
CAR HUNT! FABOZENE
Which Dart would FABO like to see loaded on it first? BOF, or 69? You guys let me know and I'll check later today b4 we load a car!
The idea here is I can scrap/part out cars, haul junk to scrap, and haul cars for us and FABO, and haul/transport peoples cars to dealers for repairs while the important people are at work making money and don't have time to take off to get their car to the shop!
Can make a pretty good amount if I can scrap 2 cars a week. More towing would equal less scrapping. This is the idea to make $ while still having open schedule to work on our cars! Hope this pans out then we can get back to finding sweet ABodies being neglected and parts cars too!:cheers:
See ya next time!!8)
