I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...

Do you know the guy in Bath who does a bunch of them? Not sure if he’s into basketcases, could be useful connection.

I think I mentioned this once and you confirmed you do and it wasn’t useful or something. Drawing blank on name. He hosted the one poker run I did this winter.

Not a series, but just wanna link to it here. I was drooling at it the other day. I love everything about it, the colors inside/out, stance, etc.

I’m Building an 88 pickup cab..  just need more parts.   Rather just buy a whole truck and take what I need..

nothing formal, few pictures on instagram..

completely stripped down..  like drilling out rivets stripped down..
aluminum separated from steel frames etc..
had about 75% of the truck blasted and hot dipped already..

working on NOS skins or sanding old ones.. (some came in from dubai last week)

rebuilt axles and steering while I was "working" form home

Engine and Gearbox being done by third party (yes, building an engine out of factory spec)
