It begins.......




This will need some welding....

This was box one of three stacked in the car



back seat in good shape (upside down though i think)

The hotness.....


So far I've got $40 invested, I traded a free 80's van that I hauled off for someone and put about $40 into to get running. The seller did a straight trade and payed for the towing of both cars. I will need to get a new title but i have a few options and should be ok.

The plan:

1. I have an 86 volvo that i wanted to shorten and use the frame on but it's about six inches wider then this car so that is out. I'm going to sell that and find something with a full frame, 4 wheel disc's, and power steering rack that is about the same size of this car. Any suggestions? It's 59 1/2" wide from wheel to wheel apprx.

2. Channel and drop on frame

3. Slap in 472 cubic inches of cadillac terror

4. Drive it everywhere as a rat-rod until I get enough money to make it beautiful.

I won't really be able to start until my tax refund comes in so I can buy a welder but i've got plenty of planning to do. Any suggestions or comments? I know this won't be easy but I think it will be worth the effort. Thanks for inspiring me guys!
