I agree! I'll add some photos. I appreciate your willingness to converse with me. The old girl needs some work, definitely. My plans are to keep it looking as close to original as possible. It didn't have a hood or side panels, and I bit on a set of chrysler sides and top... They're not the same, I came to understand. This stuff, as you know, is hard to come by. I did a 33 and a 34 in earlier years. The 33 was a 1950s hot rod with a nail head and 39 ford rear. The 34 was pretty rough when we started as well. I started on the 33 when I was 12 and will be 35 next week. I have traded and worked on old cars most of my life, but as a college student and then a pastor, my budget was always minimal. Long story short, I now have a lovely wife, three kids, a business, a ministry, and the same old passion for old cars (old things in general, but especially that of the automotive nature.)
So... here's what I'm working with.
