I'm sure some of you saw the wrecked 65 that James was parting out recently that was found in a chicken house. Well here is the other half of the story....

Got a call last weekend about two old beetles in a chicken house and a stash of misc parts. The story was, there were two beetles, a 65 and a 63. Both were one owner cars, the 65 had been rolled in an accident in 1971 and put into the barn. The 63 had been driven up to 92, then put in the barn where it has sat since then. Needless to say I was def interested, and called James to see if he wanted in on the deal. We went over and checked out both cars and a quick look at the parts. An offer was made and accepted, we went back home and got some tools and a tow bar, went back and got to work on moving them from where they had sat for all those years. We were able to get a full set of tires to hold air between the two and puled them home. Suprisingly both towed fine without any trouble other than the drums on the 65 getting a little hot on the trip. Once both were safely home, we went back and loaded a truck-full of misc parts. All this took about 4 hours I think! As some of you know, the 65 was parted out and gave new life to alot of other cars including the 63. The 63 will be my winter project and hopefully be on the road by next spring. Anyway this thread will document the build up as it progresses thru the year.

Here are some pics of the initial clean-up. I will post the pics of the extraction from the chicken house as soon as I figure out how the get them off my I-phone. Embarassed

Yep it was a fun day getting those cars. The owner was a real nice guy once he got to know you. The greatest thing about him was that he could tell you a story about any little part you picked up in full detail. Here is a link to more pictures of the 63 shot one day after.

Scroll down a bit on this Impala thread, check out what CLR and Scotchbrite does to surface rust- amazing! These guys knocked down the rust, then cleared over the original patina- Wow!

Thanks y'all, I can't wait to tear into this one and get it back on the road. Yeah, Pete that's funny that you posted that, I was reading that same thread last night. I am really thinking about doing the CLR thing after seeing how Skim's impala turned out.

Started working it down with CLR today. Not alot of original pearl white under there, but I am taking it slow until I decide at what stage I should leave it.
