Hell yea I would totally pimp that. Get it running and fix up the interior and leave the exterior for awhile, its actually a "in" thing to do according to my cable box.Quote:

I also threw some into LendingClub and Fundrise, more as an experiment than anything. But I still want some old American muscle.
Just buy some PSA rifle kits for $279 and throw in a 80% lower. When the shtf you'll get 1k-1.5k per easy.
Irving, that would be a badass resto. That's tough!
Makes me think of Deliverance....awesome idea.
I'd probably pull the mast off though. There is a duce and a half as well, but it's got a back hoe installed.
The 69 Camaro ss would be the ok only Camaro I'd ever do. Wouldn't mind a 69 c10 ether. Just like the one on dazed and confused, all black with a little chrome.......2sweet
Looks like we might be getting a tig at our shop soon, and having someone teaching us how to do it. If that shit happens, I'd be happy to share the info with ya.Quote:

It looks like it used to be an ice delivery truck, so I'm sure it wasn't original to begin with.
It's real steel, with radiator and grill, fairly straight original Az vehicle.Quote:

Purchasing old vehicles for restoration really is a tricky proposition. There's a lot involved with value/potential/expense/time/money/assets....and what level do you want the car to be when it's finished?Quote:

A nice daily driver, not a show car. But not frustratingly unreliable either.
And yeah, leave the mast/boom thing.
I figure with no bed, and that super deep engine compartment, it could hold hella batteries.
More like 60% artist, 60% genius!Quote:

All you need is lots of expendable cash, a shitload of free time, a great place to work on it with lots of tools and a lift, and get started.
Oh, and lots of wiring diagnostic, and fabrication skills along with the plasma cutter, welders, and torch will be quite helpful as well.
Another dream shattered.
Put that dream back together with some fiberglass and Bondo.
No...if you have time, you can get it done before you're crappin in your pants at the dinner table. You did mention reliability with the old look. That's the way to do it.
:)
You’ve made quite an assumption that I’m not already crappin my pants at the dinner table.
Um, I just got here.
Say whut?
Maybe it is best I NOT know...
I've been trying to do that with the truck. It's taken several years with lots of life interruption and it's still not done yet....and I do have access to all the stuff I mentioned.Quote:

A lot is involved, lots of fabricating is necessary.
I'll make you a deal......lets get a whole lot of Mexican food for dinner, and we'll stare each other in the eyes while we crap our pants at the table at the same time.Quote:
