I am picturing this thing with shiny black paint, painted on versions of the tape stripes, some wide and narrow Cragar S/S wheels, and chrome side pipes, looking like it just drove out of a Ford ad from back in the day! The fun factor at cruise-ins and shows may outweigh being a little too deep into it financially. As was said, you do it because you love it. The owner made it clear he will crush it for scrap price if I don't save it. I am still hoping to find out how many may have been made with this option.


I like your attitude ! Looking forward to seeing that baby restored .
