Anybody hurt in that wreck?

Finally got the '56 Ford dirt track car home this past weekend.
Raced at Caney, KS and the old Dewey, OK tracks.
Rolled in 1970 and set ever since.

 

That'll buff out.

 

LMAO!


Cool on the car. I'd always love seeing how guys put those together back in the day.

 

what are your plans? has it been shortend ? looks like the roofs been cut down and welded back together that car has been sitting as long as ive been alive

 

Could use a chop.

 

It is still 11 days until April 1 !!!!! ROY.

 

Jim Sibley would have been finished with that since Monday afternoon.

 

Interesting car .

 

There were piles of these wrecks outside many country tracks all across the nation. Looks like you found a nice restorable example.

 

..must be some american definition of 'restore-able' that I'm not familiar with...

 

Is that the one that was lying upside down next to I-35 north of Perry?

 

are those real bullet hole or stick on ones?

 

I think that was Ford's first recall!!!!

 

fix the brakes, put air in the tires and DRIVE IT!

 

This is why I love this place. Right now a half a dozen guys have seen that and are thinking "Yeah no problem".

 

+1 But they say one guys junk is another guys treasure. I want to see him beat that body back straight enough to paint and letter rather than hacking up another 55/56 Ford to redo it.

 

No that's like a 52 ford, I know exactly which one you are talking of.

 

I bet upside down it looked like #12.

 

I like the brake cooling vent above the front wheel. Like my old daddy says "That thing's been hit more times than Joe Louis".

 

somebody buy Muttley a chicken dinner

 

I like the buff comment.

 

Patina. It's got it.

 

At least the home-made windshield survived.

 

put it on a s-10 frame...
