That's because they all rusted completely away up Nawth!

stewart and myself had a datsun ask him where it is now.....

Was a sawsall involved?

but YES

Unloved old cars everywhere breathed a sigh of relief when his sawsall died.

It was rough.

Im not sure what kind of engine and tranny combo he has in it now.

He made a dash and console from a Z Car and recently covered it in skulls and such.

All cars just miss fired in fear!

It takes guts to start cutting up dashes and putting them in cars that came from something else. Keep it up!

I don't cut too many up unless it's to save another one or it's just a pile of junk. Taking good stuff from a junker is like giving a heart transplant to another. Just call me Docter Reb Stew
