Trying to bring a 53 Hornet Coupe back to life.

Found a coupe that a barn fell on many years ago. Roof and hood crushed pretty bad.
I'm looking for a donor car with good roof and hood within 500 miles of Massachusetts.
A 4 door would be OK as I believe the hood and area around windshield are the same.
I have a trailer so I can come and get it.

Also need a good left rear quarter for a coupe--but that's fixable if need be.

Please let me know what you have.

Thanks,

harley

This car looks like it was on the top of a transporter when damaged?.

Nope--It was a barn came down under a snow load--crushed along with a 41 coupe.

I hope to bring it back over the next couple years--I know I'll be buying some things from you Doug along the way.

Any leads or advice on hood or roof would be appreciated.

I was just looking at the picture you posted - I noticed it bears a striking resemblance to Doc Hudson!!!!!!!

Harley, I have a 53 sedan parts car. If you are coming to Weber's meet this Sunday I can take you over to my house and show it to you.
