    first off let me just say that i am not an experienced builder and i have no clue what i'm doing but it sure is fun!! i'm learning as i go and i'm learning a lot. to say the least. here's some pics of the untouched gem of the junkyard.... left forgotten, no one wanted her and she was destined for the crusher in a month. needless to say i shelled out $600 and signed the original pink (i wanted to keep it) so i'm second owner besides the scrap yard. the tags were even up to date!

    Looks like a nice solid start!

    My '51 coupe was also rescued from the scrapyard a few years ago.
