This weeks round is gonna be a bit on the light side as I haven't shot anything!

I regret that we weren't able to attend Ron's board meet/bash but we've had a lot going on here. All my time and $$ has been being tied up in searching for Christy a car. I took Thursday off work and went to Paducah and looked at two different cars that weren't quite up to snuff. The week before we drove to Powder Springs to get one and then the owners couldn't agree on a price. Prior to that we had been to Marietta to look at one that was advertised as "solid".......we never saw the solid part of it. We've also been doing our best to hit every cruise and show that's within a couple hours of here in hopes of finding her a car. Today we went to Dunlap TN which is were I shot these.

And here's Christy's new sled!

It's pretty much as she was in 54. It's still sportin the straight six and 3 speed manual trans. She pulled that huge mountain like a champ and made the 2 hr trip just fine! Christy and I have big plans for it and now we just have to put em in motion. It'll be getting a Fatman superlow crossmember and a Gambino customs step notch and 4 link as well as bagged. We'll also be ditchin the 6cyl and wedging a V8 where it used to be. I don't like to sweat so it's gonna have to have some A/C as well. Christy also wants to chop the top...........but we'll see.

Sorry this batch is so short but Brian and I are going to have something sweet for you guys next week! Hope you like em!

Wow... looks like the search ended with a great buy. I'm pleased to say that the "Sat pics" will hopefully be including more pics of Christy's new ride!

Great pics!

IvelDesigns · 07-14-2008, 01:23 AM

nice buy man

**special-K** · 07-14-2008, 07:39 AM

That thing is worthless!

Big J · 07-14-2008, 08:16 AM

Very nice. A 5.3 with matching tranny would be a cool combo under the hood. How neat would it be to pop the hood and see something like that under it.

And,roll down the hiway with a couple friends ridin`on air,listening to good tunes.

I hate it when people tell others what to do with their vehicles.PAINT THAT THING BABY BLUE FOR HER FIRST CHANCE YOU GET!!!!(next time around?please?)
It would look so good in that typical color yet modernized.It does make that worthless truck as it sets.

neonlarry · 07-14-2008, 07:13 PM

God that brings back memories, that was my second car. First was a '48. Sweet ride.

PipsC10 · 07-14-2008, 07:17 PM

That new ride is really nice! Bag it, Chop it and run it as is. It would look sweet. I wish I could come across a ride like that!

PanelDeland · 07-14-2008, 09:10 PM
