Thread: Neat old cruizer!!!!!!

Tweet

This belongs to a kid name Greg who lives in an apartment across from the garage. His Grandpa bought it brand new in '68 and kept it till he died. Greg was supposed to have the car but because of the usual bickering over who got what after Grandpa died, Greg got screwed out of it. About 6 months ago he ran across the car, and bought it!!!!!!
Nothing real special about the car other then it's history, just a big old 4 door with a 302 and an automatic. To Greg though, it's better then a brand new Lincoln, and justifiably so.
He helps me out a bit some evenings and on Saturdays. I gave him and old pair of slotted wheels for the front, and have got to go out to the farm some day and get a pair I have their for the rear.... Going to help him repaint it this summer, then as payment for his help going to find him a 5.0 Ford with AOD to put in it next winter!!!!
The kid is very honest, very polite, and a very hard worker. Hopefully we'll have us a convert to the world of Hot Rodding!!!!!! If Hot Rodding has been as good for your life as it has for mine, take a bit of time and share it with a kid!!!!! Guaranteed, it "pays" better then any job you've ever had!!!!!

Dave goodness allways come's back . Glad to hear he wanted it bad enough to go after it . I can see a great little cruiser started there .

Also i'll give ya a few hundred for that pickemup buried in them there trees. Just kidding must be over there for some shop cleaning . Mine is beside the house wife said won't it kill the grass ,yep but its cheaper then GAS.

Two definite keepers. There's a young guy I work with that I try to help as often as I can and the gratitude is the best pay of all.

Actually, the picture is a bit old. The pickemup is in the next in the shop lineup!!! I have the box in there now tidying it up a bit. When it's done the pickemup will be for sale, but your offer is just a tad low........

Got to get the pickup back together and installed to make room for Tom to bring his frame over so we can start fitting the body to it!!!!

PS---If anyone gives out awards for patience with a builder, make sure Tom gets one!!!! He's had to put up with me and all my "issues" for quite a spell now!!!! Sorry Tom, I'm getting there though!!!!!

He'll definately be safe in that car! Nice ride, I love old boats.
