    Just got home with my dream car project. Parked in a barn in '55 when the owner bought a new car. Sat there until the early 90's when he began restoring it. He passed and it's been sitting in this old shop for about 20 years. Got a fresh banger and all the parts and then some! Thinking maybe 40's style with a hopped up banger full fenders dropped axle with some juice brakes. Maybe some 40 ford wheels. Idk...[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Looks like it'll be a great start to an early roadster!

    Glad you're keen to keep the banger!

    Yea I'm pretty stoked about this guys. Could use some banger assistance if there's anyone local. I'm kinda midway between dfw area and Waco.
