The motor blew in the early 90's and life and kids got in the way for my dad to ever finish her again. He has a couple other irons in the fire, including the nice South Carolina '58 Apache shortbed I gave him last year (my very first truck that I started to restore but never actually drove it.)
Sorry to mess up your thread a bit, but I had to share my excitement with my fellow truck nuts. The car isn't great, but it's not a rusty POS either. The front clip was removed in the mid 90's and has been in dry storage ever since. It's gonna need the usual, some floor sections, rockers, lower quarters, etc... but I'm really excited, it's all there except for the drivetrain. I'll have a lot more rust to fix than you, but this car has never had a welder taken to it, so I won't have to deal with some of the mess you had to. This is THE car that got me into "cars." I was around 8 or 9 when my dad was working on it and I have a lot of memories helping dad put it back together and going for rides in it.
The car is in NY, so I hope to get it to SC next summer. These are the only current pics I have, my sister took them, so they kinda suck 
Keep up the great work and take lots more pics  |
