Hot Rods BARN FIND!! ....Now what to do with it?

Yep, and put an upright BASS in the back like KIRK suggested..............

 

Thats the coolest thing Ive ever seen in my entire life.

 

You've already got all of the suggestions you need. My suggestion is GO SLOW with the modifications, sometimes less is more. Flatty V8, juice brakes, drive. After that GO SLOW.

WOW!,just WOW!...This REALLY is nice.

 

^ Would be hard to beat the look of that truck! ^

 

Don't cut it up. Put in the flatty, juice the brakes, new rubber and drive it.

 

what exactly is an upright bass?

 

A few years ago a friend gave me a '70 Honda CB 750. It all started with a "Hey! You want an old Honda?" He lived in Whittier so I drove over to collect it. He was the original owner and rode it until the helmet law came in to effect and he didn't want to wear a helmet so he parked it on his patio. When I saw it I thought what had I let myself in for?

Buddy's idea was that I cut it up and make a dry lakes racer out of it. But looking past the bird droppings and spider webs there was a 99 1/2% original, unmolested bike. The phrase "Its only original once" kept ringing through my head. I got it running and rode it for a spell. I couldn't bring myself to hack it up and it sits in the garage awaitin its turn to be restored.

I hope you can do the same. That Ford is too original and unmolested to be hacked up. Somebody told me there is a special spot in hell reserved for people who hack up very original cars and bikes.

 

get it in running order again and drive it around like you own the town

 

This is.............

 

Sweet truck, man. Appreciate the fact it will miss the sawzall - congrats to you. If ya wanna leave off the boards and fenders, it makes killer rooster-tails in the rain.

 

THAT - is one gorgeous truck. WOW, now you have me thinking 'fenders'.....
