I just wish we had the blank check budget of pimp my ride...I nearly have once side of my cars exterior patching finished trying to catch back up to the Hellraisers progress. also we burned through the 10 pound reel of welding wire so we are down to the 2, one pound spools I ordered a while back... still need Allot of wire...FYI a really rusty car is always going to be more work than you bargained for...its all part of the adventure...already very proud of both cars..

Well, I have watched dozens of those "car" shows and if any one of them took the care and had the save it ethic you guys have there would be some real cherries out there. Most chop out this or that or replace bodies *timeline not withstanding* but you basically "resurrected" these cars... serious -get er done- mentality too...

Nothing like the spoilers to make a car pop. Every time I see this car the first thing that comes to mind is Mad Max and Road Warrior. I know it isn't a Ford but the way it sits looks cool and mean as hell to me. :thumbsup:

East side of Waycross Georgia -When we drive there from the southern east coast of Georgia, we drive up to Waycross on Highway 40 from Folkston. It's on the North side of the highway, just outside of Waycross.

Roller job?

Harbor Freight $20 paint gun, $50 air compressor (super deal-discount), Chinese air hoses & connectors, electric bill increase, plus lots of labor. Rich changed his mind about the Rustoleum (he change it again and it would be no problem for him) He loves the Road kill-esq -brutal image of his hot rod. (Hey Rich, charge your battery again.)
