    The guy changed his avatar to something cooler and better suited to this forum (in my opinion) sense he originally posted in this thread.
    As for your comment,sorry but it makes no sense, You are accusing me of being a perv for having a drawing of a 55 chevy??? and you have a naked lady in someones eye????????????:rolleyes:

    So if it was stolen, then Jakedmoe "claimed" it is it double stolen or do they cancel each other out.

    I'd see who owns the land before stripping it, might keep you from getting shot at.

    im a gasser fan at heart, but thats the same as a convert and they make all new sheetmetal to turn it into a convert just my 2cents
     
  20. would look cool in a flower bed....besides that it looks to only be worth its dash and frame.

    What ever happened to this car?? We need some kind of an update jakedmoe, don't just leave us hanging man!

    Even just the closure of knowing it was eventually parted out to save others.

    More up to date pics would be even better.

    The guys that say that car is just junk should look for a project car in the rust belt. You southerners don't know what rust really is.:rolleyes::D

    Missed this first ime around.

    I vote for putting it back on the road with the body as it is - or as close to it to be safe, hammer on it some but leave the paint and bullet holes . 2 seats, basic wiring to run lights and a tach. small block, 4 spd. No gasser.

    Do the frame nice and pretty, you can pull the body back off to fix it in a few years.
