Here's mine and a long way to go.
It may look like a heap to your neighbors but, They'll deffinetly be supprised when you drive a hotrod out of your shop when it's finished. Keep us posted cause it sounds and looks like a good project.
K, here's the Ranchero sitting in the weeds, no motor no trans. Lonely and negelected, this was "adoption day"
They look rough when yea start but you sure are proud when you get finished.
Good Luck
Is that a '37 in the background? That firewall looks familiar.
I'll have to scan in my first pictures.
Here's a picture of my '56 Plymouth the day after I brought it home. The only difference in the condition from when I found it is the tires and wheels. There are more pics of my progress on my homepage.
Sorry guys, I've just spent 10 mins, trying to find some pics of my car the day I first saw it/picked it up, and couldn't find any...
When I get round to scanning em, i'll post em.

Follow these steps. Click new reply or quote then, when the text box comes up, scroll down until you see attach file, click browse. Files work best when they are Jpegs, gif's or bmp's do not work as well, and sometimes dont work at all.
That is what I did but then when I preview it there is nothing there.......Quote:

They are jpg's
I even put it in photoshop to make sure it was small enough but that didn't help either
Thanks

MrMopar64 try it without previewing it for some reason when you click preview it takes the pic out.
OK here we go........Quote:

awesome ride!!!!!!!
I always loved "phantom deliveries". I made on from a '63 Falcon wagon, then bought a real Falcon delivery that was a 'bucket so I could use the one-piece ambulance rear door. I used a Mustang II front end on handmade rails and mounted a 390 and four-speed. Fastest Falcon I ever drove.
cool website design, too
The only complaint about the site is the lack of a "next" button, so you could scroll through all the pictures in order without having to return to a glossary page.:3dSMILE:
I'll have to get on the webmaster about that....... (my son)Quote:

Nice job cant wait to see some paint on that baby!
Yeah I tried to pay the kid nextdoor to hook the battery up the first time but he wouldn't go for it :LOL: So I just put on my welding helmet and gloves closed my eyes and did it :3dSMILE:Quote:
