  5. I love the roofline! Can't wait to see more of it. Isn't zebra skin a tuner thing?

    That has to be a pretty rare bird. Someone certainly needs to get it back on the road.

    Some machine, U gotta just preserve the patina with an oil/parraffin rag, sort out the mechs and brakes/steering - check boolers (Tyres) and get it out on the road. Pure magic beats the hell out of a new car all week long.:)

    yeah, that is bad*** and I'd sure hope it's a keeper.

    I know of this one. I bought a couple of old kustoms out of this place including a chopped and sectioned shoebox. Guy died in the late 60's but they still have a whole barn full of parts and cars. They are veeeeeeery well protected by rattlesnakes inside that barn too. One died in my car on the way to my house. It's best to have west coast cars shipped to Indiana in the wintertime and let them sit outside for a day before coming into your garage!
