Yesterday Walt and I took some wheels to the sandblaster. While we were there we went to visit a friend of Walt's nearby to see his car collection. He took us back in the woods where he had left an A model frame and cowl years earlier and said we could have it if we could get it out. I was planning on going back with Walt and Mike and Miles to get it at some time. BUT, this morning Harry called and wanted to know if I needed any car help.... so I said yes, I'll pick you up in a few minutes. Then I called Mike and he agreed to meet us at the spot. Just so happens this was across the street from the Bechtler gold mining operation from 1831 to 1849, but more on that later. We arrived at the overgrown hill and cut a road in so we could get the car out. With a little hacksawing and vine clipping we had it separated into two pieces that we thought we could carry out. The first four pictures show the frame as we found it and the last two show us getting the cowl separated from the frame. Part 2 next.
