Hot Rods Before and After Thread

I see a lot of very cool creations on H.A.M.B and I decided I would make a thread to appreciate those who turn vintage steel with rust holes into something pretty cool.

Rules:
2 Pictures, before and after.
Little description of your car and how long it took.
Can't be not finished.

 

Now there will be another thread.

 

actually, I think there are 3 or 4 threads with similarly worded titles

 

You better define "not finished". That term paints with a very wide brush. Tim

 

There are a 127 threads along these lines but what the heck is before and after, but not finished? HRP

Before and after threads.

One of the finest wagons there is!!! Love to see pics of the 54 ranch.

 

Thank you sir,I appreciate the compliment. HRP

 

That is a stellar example of an at home restoration. By the way I loved the before photo of your garage that I saw in a previous post elsewhere. Would've been the perfect setting for all your old cars.

 

I'll play along too...'cause im not out actually working on something and am bored hahaha
