Since I already have Krusty, figured would name this one Rusty. I know how original, right. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Look what followed me home today? Overall pretty dry, needs pans, but it is pretty complete.

More pics to come.

Nightmare on Elm Drive!! Get it right. :D :D :D

Well, as of right now, kinda wanna have a hood ride as they call them. I'm leaving the outside do pans, interior, stock motor, low and narrowed. Or sell it, what ever comes first.

Cool story on it though. The original owner drove it around until 1977 when he blew the motor. Thought it wasn't worth fixing so he was going to take it to the scrap yard. The current owner saw it and asked what he wanted for it since he was going to scrap it. He told him to give him $10.00 for it and he would keep the radio.

He bought it for $10.00 had the motor machined and drove it. His both girls learned to drive in this car and now I own it or have the title to it.

Thought it was a cool story. Car is matching numbers and so is the motor.
