There should be a "NO SMOKING" sign in that thing.

When you honk the horn, it says, "TIIIIIIMBERRRRR"....

"Handsome" body?!! I'm going to have to look in the mirror and get the dictionary out. Obviously not a wood-worker, not a lot more you can do with a skillsaw.

one thing going for it, you can't wash it, just get a bottle of endust--Tom

That looks to be 3/4's ACX, not the cheap stuff I have on my house 1/2 inch CDX. See the difference?

I found some special welding supplies that should work on any needed repairs.

These are for the old fashion stick welders only not for MIG or TIG.

I find this really funny  I work with someone who built a car similar to this using a chev cavalier and guess what they lived in Kentucky

 Terminix is your go to guy when you own one of these beauties.  Imagine getting a termite inspection as part of the CarFax report!

Actually with the post hole beetles I see in some of the woodies I have seen,  might not be a bad idea on those.

   It looks to me it may part of good memories for 2 or 3 generations people, who, as kids remember summers and 4th of July parades, family reunions at the park, rides to the lake for swimming and picnics.  Just guessing, but I think this car was made for the enjoyment of others as well as the builder. It looks fairly well made too.  Jim 43

Wooden cars and Kentucky remind me of that documentary about that North Carolina moonshiner made several years ago. I believe the old moonshiner's name was Popeye something, and he was a real character. He had a couple of Model A's, and I'm pretty sure one of them had a wood body. Fascinating (though somewhat depressing) film, if you haven't seen it. On youtube. I believe the guy passed away several years ago.

You have to get an EPA certificate for interstate transportation.

I’ve been a carpenter for 35 years. I find this car oddly endearing. But as Jim43 points out, it probably has a lot of stories that go along with it.

I want to know who at DMV gave it a antique car license
