Been a lifetime ago since our last post. Thanks to all you guys. Car got sold to a cool dude from Ohio (Eric). Said he's working on a guys 58 sedan with a big cc CB engine.
Anyway it was a nasty rainy sad day. Sold for practically scrap price. No engine. Once again thanks from the Vaughn Bros.

Where is it listed?

I saw that the car is up for sale for far too little money. Someone will be getting a wicked ride. I wish I was closer. Would love to have this car.

Have always checked in on this thread , nice to see something that's so different ,would be great to see it hit the road under its own power !

Yes, throw anything into it to take it down the road. Single port would be killer😏

I gotta go on record and say that I'm also anxious to see it roll under its own power...whether in primer, missing glass, whatever, but after following this for so long, I gotta see it roll! :2gunfire:

Hey guys. Still hoping for the finished product. I wish I was A bit closer as well, if just to help out a bit.

Hit me up if you need someone to help out to get it rolling again. I'm sure that there are others that would love the opportunity to partake in being part of this project too.

GOFUNDYOURSELF, quit asking everyone to do it for you!

Do something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it.

We would have updates, but we are down to getting a motor together. Its just covered up in the garage, was wanting to go to the first bug bash with it, but with this virus, who knows when the shows start back up, I appreciate yall staying interested in it, it kills me to walk around it in the garage not doing anything to it, I have been finishing up the 51 Chevy you see in the background of some of the pics. Needless to say, these are strange times. I would love to roll it out and get some 100 foot away shots of it ! We are at a standstill right now. Maybe I can talk Andy into some more pics of it . Thanks guys!
