small world - how a shitty t-bucket dodge field find comes full circle and becomes a hot rod


Greg was cleaning out his backyard and I ended up with a truck load of cool shit some of which I still have (bad case of cantletitgorustyshititus. that early Franklin dash is way bitchin' though. what are we talking about again?)

Kyle and I scabbed together a little body with leftover parts and sheetmetal. Kyle even sprung for some gate latches from OSH!

Years go by, Kyle lost interest and sold it off. I had forgotten about it until I was walking through the March Meet and there it was, sitting in Bakersfield, a running driving car!

Holy moly! Same body, same windshield frame, even had the same extra heavy thickwall frame we built! Unreal!

Dan and I were walking through the Stockton swapmeet a yaer later with our kids and there it is again! Glad to see someone not only made something out of it but was enjoying it as well!!

It really is a small world after all! I haven't had a chance to talk to the builder, but I'd love to know the rest of the story!
