The sheet metal had been fairly well protected from the elements
and was in excellent shape. I borrowed the tires from
a fellow motorhead. Later, while installing the hardware
for the rumble seat, I drilled right through the sidewall.
I didn't tell my friend until he sold the only car these fit
and he no longer needed them! |
My son, Steve, helping clean what would become the rumble
seat area. Take a close look at the drip rails. They've
been cut off midway, probably to allow a truck bed to be slid in.
Steve would be a young man before I would finish
the car. Because the car is easy to drive, I taught both
my kids to drive stick shifts in this car. |
