Before you give up on that project. - 12/30/15 08:19 PM

Love this section watching people take junk and make it beautiful again.. Some of the work on here amazes me..

Found some old pics the other day of my car.. Pulled it out of a field it had sat in for over 6 years ( looks and sounds worse than it was) The car was apart for 18 years, went through a divorce when it was in a hundred boxes ( that was a fun time), and sat in a storage unit for 2 years...

The brown seat and wheels are from another project ( 77 chevy truck) I had torn apart at the same time... What a mess

Yes, that is the 440 sitting on the floor

Never give up....

Very cool. Thanks for sharing those. I love the square body Chevy trucks, the polished 5 slots really set it off. The Coronet aint bad either! (thats a given though haha)
