Who could look at this and see a car?

Sometimes you just see more than is there. Post pictures of the most worthless pile of parts that you ever started with. Guess I'll go first.

 

Some assembly required...

 

I do. Ive got a strong desire to build an early minimalist speedster.

 

its more than what i have currently

I think the grill would look better vertical, not tilted back.

 

I’ll throw my hat in the ring. I found my body beside a barn. The License plate said 76. The man I bought it from was a former co-worker of my Dads. He and I finally got together on the price after three years. I gotta say sMr Sickles is a stand up guy because some clown tried to buy it out from under me, @ twice the price, to make a flower planter out of it. Mr Sickles knew I would put ‘er back on the road. That hasn’t stopped him from bustin’ my balls about taking four years to do it. For what I paid and the fact he held true to his word, I’ll take all the bustin’.

 

Buddy of mine found a cool old desoto bumper and built a car around it, I wish I could find some pics.

 

No... but the image would look good on a greeting card. Gary

 

Amazingly a lot of HAMB rides start out this very way..

 

Willys whippet

 

Thats what you call a builder!
Looks like a good one to me.

 

I saw that Willys in person. Those quarters had pits in them you could lose small children in.

Most of the pieces of crap I've seen cars in, I sold to someone else who also saw a car in. I've posted almost all of them before, though.

 

is it starting to look like a car yet?

 

Nope...looking like a truck!

 

You can allway's make something out of nothing. But you had more than nothing. Your doing a great job looking good man.

 

Why, yes it is... and one thing's for sure, you will have a GREAT set of before and after photos! Gary

 

We the willing, led by the unknowing, have done so much with so little for so long, we are now able to make anything out of nothing at all..........looks great man, get busy!

 

Damn, thats low!

Doc.

 

Funny thing is my family was not suprised to see my latest diamond in the ruff, they know me too well!

 

Damn! we might have a winner already!

 

Nice job! most people wouldn't dare to take this project on.

 

+1

My speedster project started with this 1919 Buick cowl (as far as I can figure out) that I bought at a swap meet about 25 years ago for 10.00 just because I liked the looks of it.

Other parts have been collected or made over the years as they or material to make them shows up.

 

it may get a little better gas miledge with some tires

1922 Moon cowl---1954 Dodge hood sides for 1/4 panels-----Model A frame& motor& trans.-----1949 International rear-end(513 gears)--and lots of in between metal work should turn into a track roadster if I'm lucky.

 

Here was mine before and after.

 

Imagination, determination, hour upon hours of work, and the most important Money..Yeah, I can see a car!

 

bttt.

 

Are we done already?

 

you have to start somewhere lol
