The previous owner used it as a daily driver for abouth 10 years
then put it in his back yard for another 10 years or so
then the elements did the rest,
also a :crazy: genius stuffed the doors with rockwool some day and that speed up the process a little too

Re: Dutch 1955 build

Looking great! Thats not a 572 is it? Does that bare metal not rust over there? Down in the Gulf Coast where I am it would all have surface rust already.

Sander,

Hello sander,

Its a big challenge, but its possible..
I am now building it up for my dutch title
Everything will be original, exept the engine,
I am placing a V 8 out of a 56" pickup
When i get the title, I will start the frame of restouration..
You have a garage? I am looking for someone that can restore
My 51" cabin of the truck, and sandblasting
It need a new floor,and cab corners...
My e-mail is fbmkas@live.nl
