I want to drive the cas "As is." Debbie says, "Do as much work to the car before you start driving it."

Sure it sounds like good advice on her part. But.......... I want people to see the car's beginning. So often all you see is the finished product. Most have no clue what it takes to build a car? They watch oveRHaulin and think "If they can built it in 7 days, why is it taking you 7 years?"

Oh. Let's see?
1. a build team.
2. money.
3. parts.
4. Money.
5. tools to complete the work.
6. MONEY..
7. etc.........

I would drive the car as is too. And I'd have a decal that reads, "Rat Rod '57" put on the trunk lid. lol

 

congrats on the magazine coverage RJ.

and i honestly think you ought to drive the blue sedan the way it is, people at shows eat cars like that right up. that's actually become the plan with our '57 wagon, we just went through the brake system a couple of months back, and about a month ago my dad bought a set of 4 14in tires for it, to go on his old set of torq thrust knock off wheels and onto the car. traded our way into a 650 holly manual choke that's now setting on top of the torquer intake, new clutch, and rear diff seal last spring, plugs & wires last winter.... all that's left is to get the wipers hooked up won't be pretty, but sure is cool

 

Good job RJ!
