What is this, pick on poor old man week! You guys are too much!  :occasion14:

I'll take some pics tonight. I had some posted somewhere on the forums already but that was a while ago. I need to take recent pics anyway so I can share what I am doing and so I can figure out how the car goes back together!

Finally took pictures today! These are the "before" pictures of Project Road Trip. Right now it is stock and as it came. Not sure if the wheels are original, but they look okay for now. I worked on the carb a bit and got it running better so I can drive it more and run out the gas as much as I can before I get started cleaning and repairing what needs to be done. Take a look!

Great find man. Looks like it's in really good shape. Jealous of your mudflaps!

Nice modeling pose in that one photo...haha.

I see you are missing the just the front drivers side bumper end cap.

Yeah, all the end caps are shot. I was hoping to find new ones someday but I might try making some from fiberglass. We'll see.

Yeah, my wife the model! LOL

She's really got that car model pose down! :)


What are wrong with the three end caps you do have? They look fine? If you could make some decent looking end caps out of fiberglass you'd have quite a bit of people knocking on your door and probably be able to fund your project! :)

The endcaps are cracked pretty badly and barely hanging on. The right rear one disinigrated when I washed the car for the shows earlier this summer. If I ever took it through an auto wash, the other two would surely disappear as well. Good thing I only hand wash the car!

Deer season is right! She does kind of look like a hit and run in that pose!
