there were a few old cars in the woods out back my house at 1 time. 1 was a '70 Hemi Roadrunner.. rusted to peices back there.. my dad pulled it out so he could harvest the Hemi ( friends with the land owner ) and put it the '68 Cornet he had.. ended up selling the cars to a restorerYou don't know what you've got til it's gone

things dont rot away too quickly if you dont let grass or weeds grow under them .. it`s wet a lot in the spring and super hot in summer ..that fairlane has been sitting for at least 25 years ..grass conducts static electricity that litterally etches away metal .. Originally Posted by lamin8r

Those two Cougars behind the Fairlane would be welcome down here too..We know a guy who probably wouldnt say no to a couple more..
I guess there is still quite a lot of iron left up there,if you know where to look..

Geez, them "gonna rebuild it someday" guys drive me nuts!!!! I've got a short list of cars that fall into the same catagory and make it a point to check with the owner's of them at least once a year.....one of them is a '70 Torino GT---Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Four or five months ago I decided the time/finances were right.
Pull them out and DO IT!
They quite literally fell to bits.

Shine's done a lot more hot rod & muscle car builds than me, but I've found an adjustable PV to be helpful in balancing front to back braking. All OEM vehicles use a non-adjustable proportioning...
