This was Pauls old oval! He sold it to me about six years ago without doors hood etc; I found another 54 that was rough to use as a donor for front and rear clips for my 57 and put the doors on this car. I can tell you that this car could have been restored. Front and rear clips were decent, only major rust was surface rust; sold it to some bug shop out of baytown I think with a bunch of other parts before I moved to Az. Oh well

I don't know why everyone thinks I'm pissed, I was just saying that it seems like ashame to me, but what ever.
Meredith: good luck with the project, I'm sure it will be bad ass!

Meredith,
Looks like a cool build. And props to you for helping save a few other cars along the way! When do you think it will be race/road ready?



Oh yeah... can I take it for a spin? :D

Ovals are a dime a dozen..so chopping up one makes people go all stupied..who cares, it's HIS, and last time I checked it was for sale for quite some time..so it was open for all yall "shame on him"money bags to step up and buy it.

I can never understand why people want to pass judgement on someone who uses HIS money to buy and do what HE wants with HIS car. Remember it's his money and his car, if you do not agree on what he is doing to it, then dont look geezz..
