    I like threads like this, everyone always says start with the best and most complete car you can. In reality how rough you start with is usually determined by your skill level, money available and desire for a certain type of car. Too often people start wearing rose colored glasses so its refreshing to see the befores and afters. Some amazing stuff done here.

    all of you... you have done much with what ever you started with...and what one ever comes out as ... an incredible amount of work involved in each one. definitely two thumbs up on all .

    I found this while mountain biking in the woods last fall; the sheetmetal is kind of perforated in places, but the frame is fairly solid. I keep thinking that it would make a cool project if it survived being pulled out of there.

    This one was my dads. He sold it in the 70's and I bought it back in the early 2000's. Finally put it back on the road permanently last year.

  27. I thought the wagon was rough but after seeing some of the junk that has been brought back to life in this thread our wagon was a cream puff! HRP
