[ QUOTE ] but I'm sure some know what it's like to keep walking by YOUR OWN STUFF while you build other people's stuff ! So here we go [/ QUOTE ] your going to have your hands full. looks good. just keep at it and eventually it will get done. good luck. i know exactly how that feels. i've walked past my car for the past yr or 2. its sitting 4 feet in the air. i have the frame off and starting from the ground up. i miss driving it. sometimes after work i climb up and just sit in it and remember the places i've been. especially the places i will go once its back on the road.
[ QUOTE ] WOW, Brian you have your work cut out. Keep us posted. [/ QUOTE ] Don't be fooled by those pics, Max---that thing is SOLID(well, what ain't bent and mashed is ) So what's the plan Brian....303 Olds/4x2 Horne or the blown hemi? Bet your neighbors think they're on the wrong street with that thing gone-HAHA! mid-tenn mike
I'm not going to knock it, you have to start somewhere. Is this the same car that was on eBay? I remember a photo on the HAMB earlier this year of a coupe that was in the same condition. It will look much better as soon as you unbolt the fenders.
Wow...nice firewall!! Keep the paint patina, lose the fenders and it looks ready to go! Oh yeah, adjust that one headlight!! It will be awesome I'm sure!
Mine was a bit straighter when I started. I thought I would never get it done, but eventually did. I've been having fun with it for about 3 years now. Keep at it!!!!
Is that the car you had planned on using the roof on from the 35 slantback of mine that you ended up not buying?

Just remember one thing....all those guys with "real steel" hotrods actually own plastic cars with steel liners ....looks like a fun project...wish it was mine.
Your gonna be my newhero when you get that one done. You will have arms like Popeye!!! Best of luck! Mike

I agree, In a matter of hours you turned a car that I wouldn't have known where to start to something very workable. Just goes to show what talent and determination can accomplish. Hell of a job!! Keep us update please with pics..we wanna watch this one! Good work. PJ
and I thought what I started with was rough...Damn Man....you are a marder to take on that ! ... Best of luck with it all.
You, sir, deserve a spot in the "I can save anything" hall of fame, if there was such a thing. I think back on some of the bodies I p***ed on back in the '80s because I thought they were too far gone...I wish I had the chance to buy them again! Brian
man thats amazing. i wish i had your skill. i was not expecting to see pics of it cleaned up so fast. Please keep pics comming im diggin this. Much better then drama any day
Very impressive Brian. I can't wait to see it after 60 hours of work!!! Hope you heal quick so you can get back on it. You'll have to keep us posted on this as well as your other upcoming projects. C.F.
