Tom,

Nice patina, I say drive it like that for a while...you'll fit right in with the rat rods...maybe hand paint a few lightning bolts, skulls and/or teeth on it...ah kin hep wit dat...:-)

Last one, I don't remember the young kid's name who's bending over the car, but we called him Stick because he was so skinny...I think he was one of Tony's (the owner) HS auto shop student's...:-)

Thought I'd try to provoke some activity with a photo and story sharing thread related to our automotive hobby...:-) Here are some pictures I recently scanned along with the story behind one of my early hot rod projects ('63 corvette roadster). I graduated from High school in 1973 and worked a summe...
