pulled from a field in dec 03, ,spent my vacation in june getting it on the road ,,,blew up the trans coming home from the mufflershop.. got pissed,did some trading around ,got this,repainted it and installed hydraulics...(i know ,most of you HATE lowriders,bite me )
Put on a little Reliability Run during Sturgis and invited HAMBers on Bikes and hotrods, MilesM got the long distance kudos for driving from Phoenix!
....then i blended the paint in so it looked finished(no pic though)....and out of the blue, i found the first car i ever owned(in the mid 80's), and had to have it back..so i sold the merc and bought it back.....now i have this car half apart to try and make it look a little more as i remember it(mostly cosmetic, the body is staying as is)
Let's see, a year ago (right after Christams) I sold this, bought this, put a 327 in it, wheels/tires, scallops and dump tubes, then, in June, traded it for this.
My 49 that I bought in 2002.The guy I bought it from had taken it apart,and didn't put it back together right.So over the last couple of years it got worked on and not driven much.Finally this spring me and a buddy of mine went through it top and bottom,got it running great,and then repainted it.I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
Almost got 'er there... This was taken mid-summer. Is a lot nicer looking now, but in pieces for cleaning, and finish welding, etc. Should be rollin' in the spring under MoPower. Jonny

I got my 32 coupe driving, and even got to drive it 7 hours to make it to the hunnert car pile up. I had tons of fun.
I had probably one of the coolest years. I bought this from Crestliner Last November.... Worked on it all year.... I got to drive out to California and be a Fag in Paso... I bought these.... I sold a whole ton of shit... I made friends with alot of really talented and smart people, and learned alot of really worth while things from everyone of them. And I think next year will rule even more....
drove this daily. and slept in it in paso all weekend just brought this home, and started conversions to more roadster like. just bought a TIG machine to play with in 05. also started doing this in late 04
got the c-dan and the elcamino ready in spring the lady's together and 2 month's ago, I started the 58, built my first 3 carbed engine --- and it's only one month to go my first kid will be borne - a boy -- did enough this year from this to this
