1959, 1977, and 2012

 

Kansas farm truck and a pile of parts, I brought back to life, almost finished!

 

OK, here's the first iteration of my HA/GR build ......



Here's the second version, done early last year ......



And finally this year's changes, my tub version of my all time favorite car, the "Midnite Oil" car ......



And of course, the inspiration itself, as it looks today ......

 

Some day I will have a after. ....

 

heres the truck when i got it and now at its current state... not done but getting there

 

Has anyone ever moved the headlights outward on these cars ?? Looks Cross eyed to me. Nice ride for sure however...

 

still being built. but before:



and currently:

 

Here is my 56

 

Here's what i did to our '56
Original paint/patina, did'nt want paint at this time. So i wrapped it in 3M vehicle graphic material. Saved and preserved the original paint and patina. and looks brand new again. can remove at anytime and replace with a different color for the year or three. $450 in material and 30 hours labor for install

 

This is one of my favorite 5w's. Such a good job putting this one together. Love it!!!

 

Come do mine !

 

Nice thread! This should give everyone inspiration to get started on that old pile of parts out back or maybe take a chance on that ad for an old car you saw that needs work. Lots of people with great vision for what could be and then made it happen. Bravo!

 

Gasser to stocker
