Haven't had as much time to work on this as I'd like but here it is to date....I found an original Visor and original headlight visors...I wanted...
This car is a time capsule, pictures don't do it justice! The doors just click shut....it's amazing!
That bomber car is REALLY cool but for some reason I LOVE that Ford Bus looking one...never seen anything quite like that!
Had a new guy from the parts store deliver parts today....he walks in the shop and among all the cars on the lifts and sitting he says "What do...
I love the face on the hood ornament and it originally lights up which is pretty cool. It has the original Flathead six under the hood.
Yes, it's got the Fluid Drive system. I honestly know nothing about these things so it's all a learning curve...thanks for the link!
Picked up this more door....love the mug on it and it runs great, just needs the brakes done. Figured I'd have a little fun with it for a while....
Found this last night...Pretty solid car, nice trunk floor and minor holes in the pans. As with most the front crossmember is rotted. No engine or...
Cool...I have yet to see another LWB like the one I have, it was an ambulance long ago. They are definitely hard to find anymore...good luck!
Can't quite tell from the pic but is that a short or Long wheelbase? I recently picked up a '49 LWB that used to be an ambulance...
I saw the later models in the swap meet...this car was definitely displayed and was on the opposite side from the swap meet.
OK, I guess that explains the yearbook. It was Saturday I was there and that G body was among all the other cars and it just seemed so out of...
I'm pretty familiar with T5's as I build Mustangs for a living and from your description it doesn't sound like an internal transmission problem,...

This one just got parked in this field a few months ago...new floors and needs a battery and brake lines to run. Needs to get a home before it...
While I do understand that....it's still ashame to let them sit. I just rebuilt #33 of 300 2000 Cobra R's that was damaged in the tornado last...
You sir, SUCK! :p....Sorry but just a wee bit jealous! Great story and great car. Get it out more often....it deserves to be driven and enjoyed!...
I agree but not this guy.....I've tried in the past and he hasn't changed. I've dealt with a lot of different people over the years and this guy...
Here are two I spotted at a car lot....the guy is CRAZY on his prices though, I didn't even ask on these because of the insane prices he had on...
Unfortunately he didn't want to sell it....he got it from some guy who had been living in it...the chimney on top was hooked to a wood stove!
Here are the other ones I snapped shots of off the same race car body...
That would be grounds for a serious beat down!
Another set I found while out and about....
I spotted these on an old race car last week and took some pics of them....I have some more on my phone, just have to transfer them to the PC.
I'm going up on Saturday with the family as a day trip...but in the family truckster, no hot rod :(
1990....I was a broke college student and was offered a '69 Shelby GT500 Convertible in boxes with a ton of NOS parts...been in the garage apart...
