It doesn't have the removable sunroof and windshield wiper yet. side view rear quarter front got a few hundred more things to do but at least it's drivable. wyo1895 With Savage never say never.

Way too nice to shoot up or turn into an off road vehicle. Bonnie and Clyde had the same vehicle except it was a four door. The engine is 239 cubic inches. It's my last project car. I get tired too easily and won't tackle another one. My wife can sell it after I die. Hopefully a long time from now. But then, she says it's her car so maybe she'll keep it. wyo1895 With Savage never say never.

LOL Seriously though, that hotrod is about as cool as it gets. Congrats on a great find. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

The 05 Dodge Cummins, 6 speed is getting really dilapidated on the other hand. We call it the battered Ram. I would love to build a 30's Ford big truck into a Dodge Cummins diesel powered tow truck. Then I could haul one car on the back and another in a trailer and get two cars to a car show at once. I could enter the truck too. But I'm worn out. Can't build anything else. wyo1895 With Savage never say never.

I put two 6 volt batteries behind the rear seat wired in series for 12 volts for the rest of the car and wired the heater motor so it's only getting 6 V. Still need to install hoses. The project just goes on and on. Last edited by wyo1895; 09/26/22. wyo1895 With Savage never say never.
