 Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2010 6:11 pm Post subject: Kermit the all OG 56.....we'll not OG for long |
 |
|
I listed this car for sale for a friend of mine, but he got nothing but nonsense and shenanigins from people about it...so we worked a deal and now this one is mine to cruise this summer while I'm working on the vert....
OG fenders, Hood, Decklid (has a later 57 motor) was taken down to be painted and never done....sat forever..then sat some more.
It's gonna get dropped all the way around and some new brakes put on it and roll out...for the summer...I'll have it up for sale while I drive it and if someone elevates their game it will be theirs...this is by far the nicest unhit, unfucked with Oval I've seen in a long time. I'll of course keep all the OG parts to put it back to stock if needed...but for now it's time to do WORK SON!!! I've started assembling parts already out of my "stash" and will starting working on it soon....it's going to be a nice change working on a car that I don't have to worry about scratching the paint.
I don't know how far I'm going to dig into it...but I'm thinking a nice cruiser with maybe some recovered seats and some carpet laid down for now.

man they ruined that paint, thats just too much patina, that sucker is screaming for a good quality exterior (only) paint job, you wouldnt have to spend too much and it would be a million bucks, nice solid car though anyway

I'd say that's not patina at all. More importantly, put some clothes on that metal!

This one is just for fun...no paint here. If i do keep Kermit it will get a full resto as really this car needs to just be cleaned up no rust repair and it only has some minor dents...but for now I just want a beater..for those that don't know my other cars here is a couple of pics so maybe you'll understand my current mentality....oh and i have another full resto in progress right now to, that's why Kermit is just getting what she needs to be put back on the road...
The black 53 I did for my dad for his 76th birthday (mulitple show winner)
The 55 Ragtop I have about 4 more hours worth of work on that I just finished up for a great friend of mine who has owned it since 74'.

Pictures don't do this justice... Seeing it in person blew my mind. The car is so perfect.
