Tentative new project

Well I needed this like I needed another hole in my head, but this is one of my bucket list cars. She's kinda ruff and rusty, but her frame is solid as a rock. no motor or trans, but has a narrowed 4.11 nine inch. My plans as of now are to drop in a 250 six and powerglide and make this my daily. As of right now I've made a deal on it, and am waiting for the guy to pull the motor and trans. I never say it's a sure thing till it's sitting in my driveway. But her she is in all her rusted glory, a 1960 Biscayne 2 door.

Nice, one of my favorites as well.

Very cool.

Looks like a fun project!

Went to pick it up tonight, and my open trailer is to small.....DOOOHHH

That is pretty sweet!

Later,

I am sure you will be quick to remove all the "suck" that thing has going on. There's a cool car under there!

What do you mean the crappy flames the ugly wheels and the stupid hood scoop? Yeah those are all gone as soon ASAP. What you can't see, are the badly done spider web pin strips, the flames cut out of the hood scoop, and the rat rods rule stickers. The previous owner said it gets more looks than those $100,000 cars. Yeah and more laughs to I'd bet.

Haha exactly.  That's a popular quote from guys with stupid crap stuck all over their cars.  Let's not forget to mention those sweet sweet bucket seats!  

I know you will treat it right.  Cool find and a good save.

But if I get rid of the seats, where am I suppose to put the T.V.s?

Nice find! Hope it works out for ya.

Awesome car under all that stuff. What your plans for it?

Going to drop a 250 6 cylinder and a glide in it for now, (unless a small block happens to fall into my lap) and get rid of all the suck as devil put it. Future plans call for lots of body work, drop it, a set of chrome reverse wheels with black walls, and some shine. Before all that though, I have to get it home.....

Getting loaded up

The emblem says streetrod, but the flames say rat rod, nice skull.....lol

this scoop is at least made out of 12ga.

Rust

More rust


Hey I know what I'm gona use the hood scoop for.

OOOHHH spiders web.

Custom window crank, and door panels (The door panels are carpet stuck to the doors with liquid nail.

Hard to find anything without rust (even here in the southwest). Glad you got it home.

With a little, well maybe a lot of tlc she'll be a cool old gal.

Something like this maybe. A little more tire in the back, and a little lower.

Love the lines, one of my favorites.

That's not any rust. Did you forget where you came from. In Ohio it would have been 10 times worse. lol

Is that scoop just bolted on or did they cut a hole in the hood?

Still have more to cut, ran out of cutting wheels,


They cut all the bracing under the hood as well.

Not sure I even want to know.

spent some time with the pressure washer and degreaser.

Yup, first step, get rid of all the crap. Then just start from fresh. No sense in trying to repair stuff that is no good. Great start!
