!
oh how sad



what a shame i hope she can be restored some how!

 

Well, it could be better, but I'd think sad would be that it's now 6 inches tall on it's way to get recycled into about a dozen Hyundais.

 

thanks pink i am such a computer retard!!! thats why there is not many posts by me but i am member number 14

 

Well I guess...there is no worry about the 90's interior huh...looks better than I thought after you said it caught fire....

 

Why the hell is going to be recycled!!! How could anyone that knows this let it happen?

 

how did that car get so screwd up in that amount of time

 

FIRE thats how!

 

hope it can be resurected, the lines on that thing are outstanding.

 

ouch hope no one got hurt is it going to be saved

 

That was a beautiful car

 

How is it lost? It's right friggin' there!! get, it.....make it run.....restore it to it's former glory. Make it happen. I'm poor, but damn it, I know people with $$ that wouldn't let that car get destroyed. Make it happen.

 

who's got it and is it for sale?

I'll take it on.....

 

It looks like the fire took out the worst part of the car the rest looks salvagable why has some one not jumped on this...?

 

i own it, but it's not for sale ...yet and no it's not going to recycling, but i won't have time to start on it for a few years, too many irons in the fire... but that's why i took it so it would'nt get crushed...chip

 

Prolly should've mentioned that in your initial post. thanks for not letting it get destroyed. I'm gonna go get another beer and drink it to your name, Chip. thanks again.

 

oach!!!! be nice that car in a hole was amazing,

 

WTF?? I don't get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

My eyes, oh the pain!

 

Lost Art, the car's name ( all custom cars should have a name). These are current (recent) pictures. The former beautiful custom car was burned and left for scrap....... and here it is.

Thanks for posting those sad photos Chip and Caddi...

It sure looks pretty bad. But I guess with enough Love, Time and replacement metal it can be saved.
It sure it worth it. A great custom.

 

Was it burned on purpose, shop fire, natural disaster? I remember when it was in the Oakland Roadster show. The display had a manikin done up as a car hop. She was enhanced if you know what I mean. Car had a straight 8 with 8 Strombergs. Jerry Shahagin (spelling?) did the interior, He fucked up a lot of good cars, but everybody thought he did good work. He used a lot of plywood. I think it was Frank Livingston, he had a Merc, 50 I think, Shahagin did his interior, the headliner was plywood. It fell down on Frank as he was driving the car. He almost crashed. Frank wasn't impressed. Dean

 

looks like it can be saved...its worth saving

 

yeah he wouldnt do the carson top in time on thee 41 for oakland so everyone could see his work! if i remember right jerry burn people for money!

joe say they burned the car cause it won every show it went to! i like that story much better than the truth, my dad say it was for the money!
regardless some asshole should rot in hell some where!

 

Oh wow, Chip!

So THAT was the car you were talking about.

YOWZA!

I know you can fix it.

 

Chip I'm glad to see you talk Benny out of that car , you sure have allot of work ahead of you now, maybe you need a Bash/Thrash to get it headed down that path.
And WTF ??? newbie ?? shit haven't you been here even longer then Jim (48HEMI, oldcarglassguy,and newest handle NONAME)??
Good luck with it.

Cal

 

Sheesh- a long way back. This thing needs a HAMB thrash. It'd be cool if it scrubbed up half as nice as it was.
Did'nt we see this car in Rod & Custom in the '90's ?
