Had my 51 had a good frame to start with I most likely would not have clipped it. There are a lot of ways to get down the road. Good luck with the build. Hope you have a good Flathead there. The Wizzard
Floors are solid trunk is solid got most rat droppings out Flathead is stuck hard couple spark plugs looked pretty cruddy also don't know if the motor can be saved. But filled crankcase with diesel and put some PB down cylinders
Solid looking shoebox, wish my floors had looked like that. Hope you can get the flattie loosened up. You can run stock '40-'50 taillights if you don't like the '51 spears, or check out this thread for lots of ideas... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=522925
