Projects What to do with a Rusty Body no one Wants?

build it.... race it

 

Sounds like the car grew up in New Jersey. Lots of salt on the roads here. Or was it acid dipped when it was new? Anyway, build your dream/concept car and have fun with it!

 

You could donate it to a racing museum or something if you just dont want it. Not really sure if thats cool with you, but maybe they could set up some kind of seen with it?

It came from Utah they must have used alot of salt on the roads?

 

As soon as I can, I'm going to do a nice, tight rendering with all new INDUCTION! I get into all the cars I do, but a few really, REALLY get me going...this is one of 'em.

 

can't wait to see the "FINAL" rendition Jeem,I promise no more changes,I think,HaHaHa!

 

Back in the 70s my cousin and I cut up the rusty carcus of an MG-B with a sawzall, and over a period of a couple weeks snuck the pieces into a business dumpster up the street.

 

i would eat it, like klinger ate a jeep on m.a.s.h.! eat it!

 

Couple of neighbors had old '80s cars they gave me in 2010. I got $300 a ton, just made some basic cuts...my 7.5" Skilsaw with a Masonry blade made quick work of the massive sheets of metal. $$$$$

 

List it on craigslist with pictures for $250.00.Someone will buy it....

Build it and they will come.

 

That rendering is badass. I really love the old funnycars with the roofs removed. To me, the Beach City Chevrolet Corvette that Pat Foster drove is one of the coolest funnycars ever. I'm just wondering if the theme would work in a two-seater version for the street?

The Flying Dutchman car and anything from Mike Sullivan rocked, too.

 

What the going rate, and does it come with fenders? How much

 

I had it listed for 1,500 with glass fenders and door as well as steel fenders and doors plus a brand new rotisserie no takers

 

Dean, you don't even have a choice in the matter...you're building this one!

 

Yes Sir,already gathering parts .I got a pair of 64 Race Hemi K heads yesterday,Enderle tri rib bug catcher, 671 supercharger and all the drive hardware,Weiand finned timing cover with an early Keith Black gear drive,waiting on a Cragar blower manifold and correct K head valvecovers.And a huge shopping list of other parts needed.

 

Just post a thread " nobody wanted it, so it went to the scrapper" with plenty of pics. There will be no less than 100 posts of "I WISH I'D HAVE KNOWN, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT" & most likely with offers of what they would have paid. Then you can inform them of how you can make their wishes come true. There is a good chance one of those 100 is sincere.

 

Going to guess car has sat for a long time.....pretty common issues.

Forgot to mention.....bitchin idea

 

It's gonna' be cool. Love the concept pic.

 

Cool as, build it.

 

Jeem's final draft with blower and Enderle bug catcher.

That name has already been picked out.....

 

got you beat by one year the Funny Car awb Plymouth that I recreated from the parts that survived started out as a 64 HEMI Savoy named Long Gone.
