Project X

Post by johnnycyclone »

I'm going to go ahead start a post on my next project in line. I pulled it in the garage yesterday, and started to tear it down. When I have some down time on the other projects, this is what I will be working on. I was given a very good deal on this one, less than the cost of the pipe, with the promise that I would restore it. I appreciated the offer and brought it home. Other than a 295/S, this is probably the only mid mount I am interested in working on.

It's 102 degrees here today in the shade, so not much has been done. This will be slow moving project, until the other ones, I am working on, are finished. I'm hoping to have this one completed before the snow flies here, so sometime by mid December, maybe. Here are a few pics on the project. It's not likely going to be a stock restore, but will have a few modifications, nothing way out there, just a little added flair. Stay tuned, follow along and I hope you enjoy the project.

Ed,
The chassis is nice and straight, which is a good starting point. Everything is there, it just needs a little TLC. I can't make the one in July, but I will be there for the one in Toledo. I may even attend the show they had at the White Star Auction, if they have that one again.

Well Ed, that puts a little more pressure on making the one in Bronson. So, I guess I better get busy working on sleds. Hopefully we will make the show.
