Thread: and, for my "Someday" build, I'm gonna........

Tweet

My someday project has been yard art for a few years now. I traded a cam for a 36 Ford roller that had a tree fall on it. instead of repairing the roof, I just cut out 20 inches from behind the door, with building a "Topolino altered for normal size people" in mind. I planned to use a glass Topo nose piece, giant slicks on the rear and spoke skinnies on the front etc, but my back didn't like the heavy bodywork needed, and the project landed where it is in the photo. the axles, brakes and suspension wound up being used for my T bucket (see avitar), and the Topo dream sits dejectedly in the yard.

Now that's got a really nice look! I'd say that would be a really cool vehicle finished out.

One day, if I live long enough I intend to build a hotrod woody bus as a camper

along the lines of something like this
