    1469134634649.jpg I thought you might get a laugh out of this! It is in no way indicative of the rest of the build. But i started by removing the small tree that had grown through the 32. Thanks for the tip on the doors but it came with all swinging panels. Nice doors, bonnet and a rough deck lid. I thought the axe was funny but actually used the recipro saw.

    That being said, you better post MORE PICTURES "TOOT SWEET" unless you want to face the Wrath Of 3wLarry! ( 10 X worse than the Wrath of Khan!)

    Wow! I'm always shocked when stuff like this is still found. Great score! Do you see any evidence of it being a hot rod at some point?

    1469291836911.jpg Just clearing projects to make room. Sold a 27 dodge today and some model A panels earlier in the week. All I've done is clean it out (found some old coins) and rubbed the paint back to see what was left of it.
