Title: Just a little some thing to pass the time
Post by: rustybus on May 05, 2011, 09:39:00 PM: Most of you already know this project. I don't know the actual year of the shell. My guess is between 65 to 67. I believe the roof came from a 69 or 70 chop top. Then derek also put in the rear oval when he put the roof on. His vision was an open wheel project.

But I'm gonna change it back to a full fendered car. I'll do my best to post pic's of my progress. I'm already lacking in that department cuz I finished up the interior welding in the back and the d/s rear quarter on the outside. Just have some holes to weld up on the dash and the interior welding is complete. Here is a picture or 2 from today . I have a front clip from a 68 trimmed and screwed into place

Why yes it is , sure glad no one bought it a the last few times I tried to sell it. This whole project will be built from one very krusty 68 and a whole pile of left overs . All on that pan I got from hans at the last swap.

Post by: Hansk on May 08, 2011, 08:48:24 AM: actually no... the original hood and fender were crunched. Those pieces went on with a new pan. I miss that car.
