    Bud;

    If you're interested in a hole car, give Bob Boorsma a call. He has a decent 29 parts car that he was thinking of selling. Four door sedan if I remember right. It has a runing engine and trans. He is in Sparta Michigan, near Grand Rapids.

    Phone# 616-887-9367.

    Hi all.

    I just wanted to let everyone know that I have just listed a 1932 Essex motor on ebay as well as one auction that has (2) transmissions. I am going to be adding a steering column and pedal assembly shortly. Thanks! Paula R

    Bud,

    Please let me know if you had any luck sourcing the engine. I do have a spare that I'm sitting on pending a rebuild project to gain experience. Since I'm also maintaining the 1929 Essex Roster for the HET, I'd appreciate a heads-up on the owner and details of that 1929 to keep the files up to date. I'll be sending out letters to all the registered owners but if your friend isn't on the grid, I'm taking this opportunity to reach out and make sure I include that car.
