    Just got home with my dream car project. Parked in a barn in '55 when the owner bought a new car. Sat there until the early 90's when he began restoring it. He p***ed and it's been sitting in this old shop for about 20 years. Got a fresh banger and all the parts and then some! Thinking maybe 40's style with a hopped up banger full fenders dropped axle with some juice brakes. Maybe some 40 ford wheels. Idk...[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Looks like it'll be a great start to an early roadster!

    Glad you're keen to keep the banger!
