After 25+ years in a field rusting away. In the last 5 weeks I have replaced the pans. The lower 4" of the body added new shoes and chopped up and narrowed suspension. Built a custom safari window Got it 80% complete and rolled this bitch outside. Don't get it twisted still got lots to do. Still trying to locate some rear fenders.

Wow!!! That looks crazy!!! (In a good way).
Safari front and back, pop outs, all you need now is a ragtop.

Thanks. Ragtop is coming.  I probably wouldn't do a rag clip but it sat in a field for 25 or more year with the roof caved in and the roof metal is very thin with about 8 or so pin holes. So I have to graft in a new skin anyways. So might as well do a rag clip.

Great!!! Before getting my rag, I was looking at a 57 with a damaged roof, perfect contender for a ragtop clip, so it does sound like a good idea.
Keep us posted.
