The 62 rag I found under Skims nose in Denton, it's a car I will be building for my son!! It came from an owner who has had the car since 1966. It was her firts car as a senior in high school! My plans are to replace the pan halves and POR-15 the pan. Narrowed beam, powder coated supension, and OG paint. Flat 4 enkei wheels and a buch of accessories. I already got the 40hp running!

nice job so far. I wonder if the PO would be crying to think that you cut up her first car that she loved so much. :lol:

No, she's super cool, I told her what our plans were and she wants to see it when done! We have been in contact with one another and I called her as soon as I got it running! She called the car "Sweet Pea" so we shall keep the name! As soon as the car is done we will drive it to her so she can see it and take it for another spin!!!

Trust me, she knows!!! We can't help but to tell her everyday. She has the best attitude to go with that pretty face. With 3 older brothers you would think she would be no where near the car, but thats not been the case.

Cut apart
