Title: New here, Here's my Introduction .
Post by: damagedduck on January 15, 2015, 02:39:05 PM

I've been trying to join for some time but was unable to register (some kind of glitch?)
Well any how ~~A buddy who scraps cars send me a picture text of these 51 Kaiser that he bought from a scrap metal auction ~ Wanting to know if I wanted it? I figure my wife (Michelle) would say 'NAH' I already have 5-6 projects, But went home & showed her and she was freaken out telling me she wanted it! We cruise over and look at it and Michelle goes gaga over it! Telling me 'we' have to save it!!  :o
I make a deal to buy it for $850 on payments (since I'm usually broke) It needs some work, needs a fuel tank since ours is missing & has been replace with a boat tank? some wiring (the scrapper's bother tried to hot wire it- why NO CLUE.... he could have just turned the ignition switch) a bunch of cleaning because it was stored for some time in a dirt barn or field? I also have to get a title because the auction company didn't keep any of the titles for the cars/trucks... he said to much paper work & that's why it was sold for scrap. :-\
I also belong to the Kaiser Facebook page so some of ya may recognize this car from my posts about? ::)

If the engine rotates you should have this running in no time.  Thanks for saving another KF from the scrap pile.

It rotates, but very slow. I believe some one may have burned the starter up.

This would have been a tragedy to have been scrapped.  Thanks for saving it!
