    Here are some pics of the new hot rod project.The car was a restored stocker.In 1972 the barn it was in caught on fire and the car got some heat damage.It looks like after the fire it was pushed back inside and left there.Now I have it and it's time to resurrect it.Now all I have to do is take the body off and sell the rest and get to work.

    I don't know what happened to my pics.It will be flat pink with purple wheels!:)Hey Reed the chop is done I'm finishing the tail lights and welding up the millions of trim holes.I've got to get more pics.No fenders on this one either.It will be chopped and channeled with a flathead.

    Look forward to picks of the build.
