    I wanna thank Mark for reaching out to me and giving me the opportunity to finish what he started and my brother taking the trip with me (almost 40hours)... This started a couple years ago after the first custom car revival when I sold my 58 vette kustom and I ask him if there was any cool cars around for sale and he surprised me, unfortunately it wasnt the right time to take in this kind of project and I didnt jump on it. So recently I sold my 53 ford clarkaiser car and a 54 corvette, and my brothers sold their 41 ford p/u truck so when mark messaged me that car is for sale,I was pretty excited because I knew I was gonna come home with the car this time now that we have room in our shop. Anyway heres some pics IMG_0912.PNG IMG_0920.JPG [[/ATTACH] [/ATTACH] [/ATTACH] IMG_0931.PNG IMG_0927.JPG IMG_0842.PNG ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1421706445.958326.jpg

  4. That car was here in Durango for many years. Tony Crespo needed some cash a few years back and asked if I wanted to buy the car. I didn't have any money either. I knew he sold it and it sounds like it's in good hands.
     
  5. Wow. Hope you can bring it back to it's glory.

    Good luck with the resto. I'll be looking forward to seeing it in person once back on the road.

    That pic at the Barris shop filing the lead does it for me. I bet you got some cool waves going down the interstate.

    So did you have to tell U-haul you were trailering a 96 Honda Civic so they would give you a trailer?

    Start a build thread.....This would be a cool restoration to follow.
