Pictures...I have been very reluctant to post anything as people are assholes. This will all get turned into, "it would be lucky to go 100mph, I wouldn't drive that thing 25mph, good luck with that POS, etc" I can read it already. So the original intent was to build a rough "Bubba wanted to go do NASCAR circa 1969-70, went broke and pushed it out back" car. Plans changed a little but overall concept is the same. Smooth paint I am learning is important and such. I just wanted to go have fun, whip donuts in a field, play on gravel roads, and not worry about door dings. This is a learning experience.
How I found it and a more recent pics. The car is held together with vice grips just for panel placement and inspiration. Hard to stay motivated at times when it is all in pieces.
I made a 2x4x3/16 square tube chassis bumper to bumper. The front suspension is from a Crown Vic with leaf springs and sliders out back. I have the parts to make it a C500 (flush Coronet grill and flush back window plug) It has a long ways to go, but it is coming along, I am learning a ton and trying to sort out a plan so as to not keep changing things. There was going to be Nascar style door bars, but that may move to a more common X... all of which will wait until the floor, console bars and over axle parts are done, just to make it easier to climb in and out of it. Engine build is just for dreaming, keeping eyes open for parts and a plan.
