I'd like to introduce you to my beloved Tetanus.
I purchased the car back on 2006 and as I started tearing into it to fix the "hackery" performed by one of the cars previous backwood shade tree hacks I found things that made me sick. Two inch thick globs of bondo, tin and rivets, gobs and gobs of window screen and fiberglass. There was more plastic than steel.
Here it is the day I got it.
After a short time I realized I needed a parts car and I found a 65 for sale for 500 locally. I had to strip it, by myself in two days. I took all I could and put it onto my 66. everything from the doors forward is rust free desert metal. From the doors back is...well
here it is mid dog house swap
had to get a new tank and pick up, it was nothing but rust
Well, one day it started running like crap so I parked it and did not touch it for 2.5 years. It just sat. My youngest and oldest prodded me enough to get off my butt and get moving on it.
this is what I started with after sitting
a little progress
