Thanks for sharing. If you work on it I'd be very interested to see how
you go about it. My '57 Studebaker is in about the same state. :)

You guys might not know, but Houston, TX actually has the largest art
car events in the world.. there are some amazing entries.. this year
there were a couple of old cars that people got mechanically
operational but otherwise left them as they were when they were puilled
of of somebody's country backyard. It brings up an interesting idea..
rather than trying to recreate the past with a flawless restoration,
what is the value of letting an old car just be an old car.. I know the
folks that go after unrestored, good condition classics have an idea
about this.. but what about a rusted and battered piece of classic
machinery not afraid to show its age?

(also there were chopped Yogos with air tank powered freight-train
horns, but that's a little too afield to not earn a full O.T. :) )

Here's a few links below..
