Bringing her home. (12-20-2009)
Had it in storage for a few months. I cleaned it up and painted it flat black cause I was giving it to my dad but he didn't want it.
logride:
Hey that's a good looking car. What are your plans for it?
TFoch:
Rattiac,
Looks like a real solid car. Should be a sweet ride! I guess you're glad your Dad didn't want it. :) Looking forward to the build.

Rattiac:
My plans are to keep it as stock as safely possible, aside from the drivetrain but I wont be cutting the body in any way . Something told me this car was special or rare and shouldn't be messed with I already have a engine/trans lined up for it till one day when I can afford to rebuild the original 6 and put a 5-speed behind it. Not even gonna lower it. Done that been there.
I also have a small teardrop trailer I plan on pulling behind it for long trips.

Update
I got some work done before we moved from our first home (RDA)
I aquired some 54 spindles sent em' to get machined (Somehow the rod-shop lost em) so I now have a pair of Speedway's fordged spindles with
73 camaro disc's and some new leafsprings up front.
(update)
Had a machinist hog out the axle to get the spindles to adapt. But Ive read somewere that you can use a reamer from Harbor Freight and do it yourself.
I also found some 36 chevy truck rear fenders for $ 20 . They are a bit beat up but they'll work for now . I was told by the guy that 32 to 36 rear fenders are about the same. They do match the body lines well and I bought some tires that were on a 46 chevy (only 2000 miles on em')
7.60/15's paid $80
Teardown pics. (3-23-2010)
Broken leafspring repaired with a army belt.( Who knows how long someone drove on that)
Heres the new springs and spindles. Just in time to move
