SHE WAS RESTING UP ON CINDER BLOCKS AND THE WHEELS WERE REMOVED,THE FLOORS WERE REPAIRED WITH PIECE'S OF STEEL.THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN DONE SOME TIME AGO BECAUSE THERE ARE HOLE'S IN THE FLOOR AROUND SOME OF THE PATCH WORK.THE TAILLIGHTS WERE REMOVED AND A PIECE OF RED PLEXI GLASS WAS PUT IN PLACE.THE HEADLIGHTS WERE REMOVED AS WAS THE GRILL.THERE ARE SOME DENTS ON THE PASS FENDER SEE PIC'S.I PLACED THE GRILL IN PLACE WITH SOME ZIP TIES AND THE HEADLIGHTS NEED THE RETAINING RINGS TO HOLD THEM IN PLACE.THE HOOD IS NOT HINGED IT IS PINNED IN PLACE.AFTER PUTTING SOME WHEELS ON IT AND A CHARGED BATTERY GAVE HER A CRANK AND SHE FIRED RIGHT UP.THE SECTION OF THE TRUNK PAN WAS REMOVED TO MAKE ROOM FOR A HYDROLIC SYSTEM THAT WAS NEVER INSTALLED.IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THIS THE STRAP'S THAT HOLD THE GAS TANK IN PLACE WERE LOST.THE GAS TANK IS IN THE CAR WITH A STRAP.PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS CAR IS IN NO WAY A SHOW CAR NOW.THE PICS WERE JUST TAKEN TODAY BUT PICS MAKE LOOK BETTER THEN IT IS.THERE ARE SIGNS OF THE BODYWORK COMING THREW FROM THE ROOF CHOP AND ALSO OTHER PLACE'S ON THE CAR AS WELL.THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR IS ALL THERE IT HAS P/W BUT THEY DON'T WORK.WHAT IS AMAZING IS THE DASH BOARD ON THE PASS SIDE STILL RETAINS SIGNS OF CUSTOM CARS FROM THE 80'S.THERE IS A SMALL TV AND SMALL DRIED UP BOTTLE'S OF TEQUELA AND SHOT GLASS'S.THEY ARE ALL FOR DISPLAY AND HELD DOWN WITH GLUE AND VELCRO.RIGHT NOW THIS OLD BIRD FIRE'S RIGHT UP AND DRIVE'S AND STOPS.I DID DRIVE LOCALLY AROUND MY STREETS AND SHE IS ALIVE AND KICKING.YOU CAN ALMOST FEEL THE HISTORY THIS CAR HAS IT REALLY IS A WILD LOOKING CAR.MY INTENSIONS WITH THIS CAR WAS TO RAT ROD IT.IT COULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO BEAUTY BUT IT WILL COST A BIT DEPENDING HOW FAR YOU WANT TO GO WITH IT.BUT TO RAT ROD IT WOULD NOT BE TO TOUGH AT ALL.I WAS GOING TO LIGHTLY SAND THE CAR DOWN TO GIVE IT THAT SATIN BLUE LOOK.AND PUT A SET OF WIRE WHEELS ON IT.THIS CAR IS WILD LOOKING BUT PLEASE REMEMBER IT IS NOT A SHOW CAR IT IS THERE BUT WILL REQUIRE SOME WORK TO MAKE A DAILY DRIVER OUT OF.TO CHOP A CAR'S ROOF THIS MUCH COST THOUSANDS AND MANY HOURS OF WORK.ALL THE GLASS IS GOOD ON THE CAR THE BACK WINDOW IS HEAVY GAUGE PLEXI GLASS.
