.....I got this car back in 1985. I was 20,going to community college and working for my Dad. I was painting Duranautic alluminum boats for him.
He drove this car into the driveway one sat afternoon, said he had just deliverd some boats to NJ. and it was sitting at the boat dealrs house or shop. He tosed me the keys and said I thought you could use a new project. WOW! He never did anything like this before?.....I was verry excited.. I drove it all night that evening . the following day I pulled the valve covers, Doho... packed full of sludge!
I mean... FULL Packed tight..oh my! Ok needless to say I did a full engine rebuild. I had alot of fun with this car for about 3 years till the front suspention got so loose I couldnt steer it safely.
I parked the car and moved on to other things. It sat from 1988 to 2000. I brought the car inside in 2000 and compleatly dissasembled it. Bought floors wheel tubs and quaters plus some suspention parts. and by 2001 it went back outside .(now compleatly exposed to the weather)Sheetmetal fitted nothing welded. By 2002 I decided to save the car. I built a large carport off my garage to help protect the car . This is ware my progress realy starts. Ive wanted to post this build for 3 months now but keep getting sidetracked reading everyone elses builds. LOL:razz: The car is on a rotissorie I built at the time. it is in a 10x20 tent in preporation for blasting.
