With that roof, maybe a candidate for a mini crew cab pickup truck?

EDIT: I see Six Ball had a friend with similar intentions.

Conventional wisdom is to find a stalled project. This seems to be a decent start.

The way I see it, I can spend a lot more time sitting on my butt looking all over the net for something that looks like a reasonably priced project, or I can spend a lot less time looking at something that someone on the HAMB sees possibilities in.

 

I’m with Alan on this one but whenever I post something I try to keep it under $2k just because I’m cheap that way.

 

I have focus and no money, so all of them are too much!
I try to keep it in the low 4 digits. If it was limited to under a grand, there would be a lot fewer posts and they would be stuff most wouldn't even fantasize about. Under 500 is going to be really thin.
I'd guess that if a 32 or 34 complete came up at those limits, anyone finding it wouldn't post it, they would be callin' and haulin'!

Never saw or heard of a Hillman Californian before, and I thought I've seen every old car, at least in pictures. Interesting, looks like a '50 Dodge Coronet hardtop compressed into half-length.

 

Big brother to a Husky.

 

I had not known about the Californian, either. Did a little look to try to find production #s.

Judging for the prices as listed, it seems like the market is dropping on project cars, or maybe I was always looking in the wrong places.
