Belongs to HAMB member Mr Gasser now. Not sure who did the work though. He bought it like this not too long ago.

I found the car about 14-15 years ago. The guy who had it was selling it for a friend who had moved out of the country. The guy who actually owned it, seemed to think the car was started about 15-20 years prior to him getting it.

I passed on it, lost track of it for a few years when it surfaced again, passed, then didn't see it for another 10 years, until this summer when I made a deal to get it.

The door window openings are 9 1/2" tall,...so I guess it's been chopped probably around 4 1/2", it was a sedan, but, the rear roof section was moved forward to resemble a coupe,...it's been sectioned 4",...and this thing isn't "old school",...it's PRE-SCHOOL !!!,...the whole thing was arc welded together!

It's rough, it looks like it's been setting outside for quite a few years, but it's still fixable.

Plans were to finish it in a radical, early '60's show car style, with a Nailhead or a Caddy mill, but, I got quite a few interesting offers for it at the Pile Up,...

Almost cut my stripin' hand off helping push the car on a trailer. Whew! Thought I would need a tetnaus shot. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It did have a great stance.
