    So right that looks GOOD. Bet you get a lot of younger folks that don't know what it is.

    Love the old Pontiac. I know where a 31 Chevy coupe sets with a 6 inch diameter tree in the middle of it. May need to see if I can get it. I would keep the fenders and if you do a chop, please post it on here. Also if you replace any wood with steel I would like to see that.

    Check back through the build thread for details the top has been chopped 3" and all the wood had been replaced except for the doors,around the trunk opening and around the windows where it was needed for window and interior use

  24. Great color.......so, are ya still gonna scrap it? I hear scrap prices are down now. Might want to wait a few months.
    BTW, at my age if I got screwed, I'd put it in the paper.
