About
found sitting in the scrap rows at Jettison Salvage in late May 2000
negotiated purchase for 380.00
at ransoms garage Tbone and I quickly pieced together a driver with SBC and M21 in 3 months during my break from college. Converting to a 4 speed without any parts is a challenge but it was fun to fabricate all the linkage and etc
History of this Vehicle
Was a cross country driver for years, now waiting for Dead Meat the Blue Car donor sheetmetal to replace currently nonexistant rear quarter panels. Should be roadworthy by 2010
Plans for this Vehicle
LOW BUCK BEATER Basically make smoke come from rear tires whenever necessary, usually quite often. The old guys love it when a old creaky Buick lays down some burnage
