Thank you EBay!

Well in the last couple months I have scored some major parts for my 1930 Buick off the Internet. This is my 4 door sedan body that sits and waits for me to have time and more parts.

I was afraid I would never find the right parts for my not that common Buick. So far I got a hood for $100, a grill shell for $150 and all 4 fenders in great shape for $150. I'm still not ready to start the build, but I'm excited to have more pieces to my puzzle.

I was just going to build a fender less rod, but now it will just be as low as it will go with fenders.

Wow, you should go buy a lottery ticket man cause you are definitely on a streak! You stole that stuff, I would think any one of those fenders would be worth what you gave for the whole lot! Congrats on some nice scores. [cl

And people say eBay isn't worth fooling with anymore........you just gotta pay attention!

I know I stole the fenders. They were 2 hours from my house. I got them from a 70 year old man that bought them for his Chevy 20 years ago. They sat in his shop this whole time. The grill shell was 4 miles from my house. It's not in the best of shape, but perfect for my hot rod!

Something about this build is just meant to be! What a great set of parts you have found, and so close by too!

Well done sir.
I've got a 33 Pontiac I'll be starting on soon and that gives me hope !!!!!!

Nice tin.

If all of that stuff was local....what are the odds that those pieces belonged to your car originally?

I really like the body lines that are stamped into the fenders. The full fendered rusto-rod idea sounds cool.

Good luck with the build.

Nice! I like it when a plan comes together. Can't wait to see what happens with this one.

What a score! I haven't used eBay in a long time, guess I need to revisit them.

The hood was from Oregon. I bought the two 1930 buicks from Nevada two years ago for $400. I have two complete bodies.

The second body I'm going to take the front and read doors and make one long door, then use the rear window and rear section of body to make a extended cab truck.
I think I just got lucky on the parts. Probably not from the same car.
