Customs Half of the fun of owning and restoring the Car Craft Dream Rod

Outrageously KOOL stuff, Mark. Love it all.

 

Just.....................WOOOOW ! ! ! !

 

Incredible, the car , the stuff , the story . So cool .

question ?
The state the car was in when you purchased it , chassis cut out of it , parts missing etc.

what was the last owners plans ? Or was this car destined for the scrap bin ?

 

Mark,
Again, thanks for the tour of your house and garage. Lois wasn't going to come with me originally, but is sure glad she did!

To other members, Mark is very knowledgeable about all the cars he owns. Most of them do have some history and he knows all of it. His collection of memorabilia for those cars is unbelievable. In fact his collection of memorabilia for all things custom and hot rods is something to see. And then to get a ride in his '61 Impala to the Drive-in for lunch, topped off an excellent morning. Hopefully, Mark does more threads like this one about his other neat cars.

The Wife and I have been traveling in our Motor Home since 31 March and have seen many sights from Virginia to Washington State. I consider the stop at Mark's to be the highlight of the journey so far. Next stop before getting back home...Lloyd Fest 2024.

 

Pretty fucking cool.

 

I just cannot understand how the original car got so "effed" up before Moriarity got it......... who would do that ????

 

Mark. I can not thank you enough for this thread, the historical content, and commentary. Some of the history I was aware of, some not. Sharing all this is just terrific. Much respect, Mike.

 

A historical car...although in my eyes I don't see why it was such a success styling wise.....

 

Wait are FNGs not a thing anymore?

 

simply amazing!!!!

 

Moriarity...I know what you mean...it looks a little like it influenced the Monkey mobile...

 

Dear Mark to say that you are one in a million, ignores the fact that in this world,
or any, a million is small, in reality.

Nice dune buggy

Just kidding.. Comes from a

comes from a time when anything goes, and style was second place.

 

Legandary.

 

I guess I've got some reading to do. I know I've seen a couple of them.

 

I had no idea you owned that car. you sir are living the dream
Tell me you haven’t ran that out amongst the corn rows a time or two despite cramped quarters and single headlight! Love to see it in person one day!

 

Thank You for sharing Your collection of Kool Stuff .

 

Glad You saved it from being built into that .

 

May I ask you: with the amount of dust, dirt, body filler, and general repair work needed for the repair and restoration of the car, where do you do the work? All of the pictures of your home seem to show exceptional cleanliness.
Also, how many minutes did it take you to get rid of the billet wheel after you got it home?
