How Did You Find Your Rig – Went to a service call and saw it sitting by a barn…. yes it really was sitting by a barn. Woman who owned it said it was her fathers and it had not been moved in 4-7 years. It is complete and almost all stock with the exception of the carb headers and exhaust. It has the usual cancer on the sides but the floors look good as does the frame.
There is rust thru just behind the seats at the corners mid panel and the rear floor at the door area.
What’s Your Next Project – Just want to get it mechanically sorted out and then focus on the body. To be honest I just want to get it running and enjoy it for a bit.
