    I bought the 999 car that was built by Clark Bates and brought it back close to it’s original home. I will be making some small changes but won’t change the original character of the car. I can’t wait for some warm weather.

    Look like wiping the dust off it was about all it needed anyhow.

    Nice example of the minimalist approach to Hot Rodding.

    Clark is a great guy, and builds cool bare bones cars. I have seen the 999 car many times and like it. Congrats on getting the car. Looks good cleaned up, almost everytime I have seen it she had mud on her dress. LOL.:eek: Have fun with it.;):)

    I bought 1 ostrich hide and a few lamb hides off of ebay and cut new boards and wrapped them myself. It's not perfect , but I am happy with it
