I might John, but the local thieves know what I'd do to them, If I caught them.

I'll probably have room soon. ::)  But the darn thing would probably get airborne on it's own around here.  Glider with an engine?  I would end up getting in over my head and have to try it out ;)

Jeff, be sure and post a pic when you get finished!  I have my eyes out for a Cad grill to go in my shell. I seen the one that (Ex-Derilic, Nebraska?) Was building on the Hamb last year (34 chevy coupe build) really cool looking grill.

Or you could cut half the wings of one side, and bury it nose first, into the ground on an angle, so it looks like it had crashed.
That would take up way less room, horizontally.

Steve, I've seen Exderilics Chevy, but don't remember seeing a grill.

Here's the finished grill, except for silver paint.
I used what I had in the shed, the blue was just to seal it up, on account of all the rain we've been having.
The grill ornament is off a seventies Chrysler Valiant.

I'm also hatching a plan, to build a wooden vee block, for two Holden six heads.
Paint it up black, and watch car guys scratching their heads trying to figure out where a Holden V 12 came from.

I wish I had an area to do this. It almost looks drivable

John, the more I add to it, the more it looks that way.
I've a 4x2 T Bucket chassis in the shed, behind my 28 Hudson project.
I sold it to a mate, but he's not going to use it.
Last I asked, he didn't want to see it back to me, and is happy to let it sit in my shed.
If I had some spare cash, I'd make him another offer.
I'd be happy to turn this thing into a roller, but for now, I've other priorities.

Jeff, that's looking too good just to be yard art! ;)

Here was that grill insert. Said it was cut down from a '37 Cad.

I hooked up an old battery to the one good headlight last night for fun.
