 This is a Poloroid of me sitting on a box while holding an old steering wheel. The hood is held up in the front by a cut down broom stick. I remember this day so clearly. My car was real, now. |
 I had spent about two years working on the frame and this was the first time the body had sat on a rolling chassis since I had owned it. |
 The sheet metal had been fairly well protected from the elements and was in excellent shape. I borrowed the tires from a fellow motorhead. Later, while installing the hardware for the rumble seat, I drilled right through the sidewall. I didn't tell my friend until he sold the only car these fit and he no longer needed them! |
 My son, Steve, helping clean what would become the rumble seat area. Take a close look at the drip rails. They've been cut off midway, probably to allow a truck bed to be slid in. Steve would be a young man before I would finish the car. Because the car is easy to drive, I taught both my kids to drive stick shifts in this car. |
 Another shot of a future motorhead. |
 I am one happy (and skinny) guy here. |
