That would explain the roll "cage". I especially like the single hood pin punched in the middle.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Why not just leave the "patina"?? Think of how you could ruffle the feathers of the purists at a car show with the first RAT ROD PANTERA!!!!!!!
A couple of Craftsman wrenches for suspension pieces, a spider web or two and a Mexican blanket..........BINGO, instant rat rod!!

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
