Thats one of my favorite things about hot rodding, how much people are willing to help each other. Wish the rest of life went like that.

Not as much as I had hoped.
Work has been taking up too much time.
More weekends and 80 hour weeks than I would like.

I tossed the original interior.My nephew(Country04) is using the seats and shifter in his 38 Plymouth.
I have some Honda Accord seats im going to use.Heated and power.My old back has had too much wrong with it to be uncomfortable!
I havent been able to get off work to go anywhere.I would like to be able to attend one someday.

Re: Ranchero Tear down
You need to grabs some guys and have a work session. You can get a ton of stuff done with a few hands. It's worked well up here. Pop and pizza and they are ready to work. Add booze and you just sit around and talk about working

Re: Ranchero Tear down
I had a Falcon 2 door wagon that was made of it. It was a good sculpture, it was even painted black and was pretty straight.
