    Any ideas...? or even if I should...
    Was looking at it in the garage today and it just stuck me funny to do it... As I pulled it out of a field not even having a clue as to why I wanted it, let alone needed it... Ill chock it up to just getting back from Iraq and needing something to occupy my time and mind...[​IMG]

    I think a BBQ is a good end for a car that is to far gone to save. I personally would use the front of the car. cut it off at the top of the windshield and at the rocker leaving the a-pillar intact. then mount it to the wall like it's coming out of the wall. leaving wheels and front suspension, working headlights.....

    the front is a natural, and you can close the hood and use is like a smoker

    I think I'd try to fix it.
    But then again, I'm a glutton for punishment.

    "1/2done" I understand... I think how cool would that be to have smoker made from an old Olds... but then again how cool would it be to say look at this fancy little thing youd never believe what it once looked like...

  12. Theres a guy that was at Greaserama 08 that had a 39 (?) Chevy coupe that was a commercial smoker. Looked like a normal car until you really started checking it out.
