Hey I didn't live too far from you till a few years ago.....in fact on my regular runs to Memphis to hit junkyards I used to go through marked tree. Called it the two burgs and a tree route because marked tree, waldenburg and Harrisburg lol

 

For being pieced together that roadster has nice fit to it

 

yep used to be a junkyard at payneway, ab blaylock, did you happen to visit there? where exactly did you live? and yes

it fits pretty good now after many hours of assembly

 

I hit upullit on Watkins. Figured out the reason everyone called that route the "long way" was because there was more hills and curves. My car took a tight turn like a straight so for me it was a 3 hour drive to Memphis lol. I lived in mountain view near Batesville

 

That dash is a cool detail, thanks for the photos!

 

used to stay at st james quite often in the 80's deer hunted mondays point still make it to mtn view several times a year

 

Just remember to do all needed shopping before going into stone county. Lol. Even in Clinton or Leslie stuff is significantly cheaper. Batesville is a lot cheaper.


We actually briefly owned a house in st James
