i just drove out to Charlton MA to pick up some caddy parts i found on Craigslist.
the guy stripped a 1969 caddy a couple of years ago and had the parts in his shed, so my neighbor and i drove out there today and picked up a nose (sans bumper) and a set of taillights.
and it wasn't until we started moving the parts around that we realized just how well cars were made back then.
the hood must weigh close to 200 pounds! and i thought that all the parts would fit in the truck easily...not so.
the fenders, inner fenders, and radiator support just fit into the bed and the hood is actually too wide to fit inside the bedrails!
now to find the time to clean them up and paint them and get them ready to put on the hearse.
