Awesome looking chevelle. The engine compartment and interior are fantastic. I remember building this one as a kid, that front end gave me such a headache.

Great looking plymouth. Nice choice with the color combo.

You should see the mess that can develop with vintage motorcycles. My long term project has no numbers on the frame, never did and the engine numbers are what's registered, and to make matters worse the side the numbers are on is the side that wears out or gets damaged when they blow up. Lots of theft,title jumping and re-numbering with certain makes/models.

Most mk4 vw's did.

That's the one! I also recall another reflex silver one done similar. No, not many average people have the money or resources to cut up a new vehicle, especially at today's prices.

Very classy '35. Beautifully done.

That's a pretty cool car, and idea. They probably started with a four door sedan, and used the door, quarter panel and associated structure from a two door sedan on the driver's side. Not an easy project. I read an article in eruotuner magazine years ago where someone built a two door vw jetta using golf/gti parts. They actually went as far as having proper safety glass created for the new rear windows. This kind of thing is why I go to car shows. 👍👍

Welcome to the forum

Good save. 👍

Very nice. The inserts on the seats look awesome.

My mother's father was Army, pfc2. I believe he was drafted. I never really had an opportunity to speak with him in any real sense, results of a stroke just before my family moved to NY from R.I., but everyone always spoke highly of him, that alone speaks volumes to me. My Stepfather was Navy, and my sister is a Marine. She served around ten years, her service was extended due to 9/11.

Finally got to put some serious miles on the motorcycle today, rode over and cleaned up my grandparents Graves. Gramps served in WW2. The last of the parts for my ride on showed up and my wife found me a score of 3 kits on marketplace. One of which is the first kit I ever built. Today was a pretty good day.

My wife found these for me on marketplace. Still sealed. The Chevelle is the first model I ever built as a kid. I hope the t-bird is not ruined.

Very clean looking wagoneer with a "this car climbed Mt Washington bumper sticker.

Saw this just now

That panel truck deserves to be saved.

Any tool or piece of equipment you use often you tend to grow an attachment to. The older craftsman products were built well, not so much anymore. I like the old one's like the massey your talking about from a history and capability standpoint. Real workhorses.

I think your local Lowe's has a better showing. GM had the nicest styling in these years.

Spotted this walking out of lowes. Nice to see one without rot or an obnoxious lift.

Dave's not here

That'll give you time to acquire the necessary money/parts to have it ready or close to ready when you're finally able to drive it. My father and I worked 3 years to repair what became my '65, I turned 18 and he signed the registration over to me. You're starting with a MUCH nicer condition vehicle.

Yeah, I've been through that, not my most favorite experience. Hopefully it's a one time thing for ya

I hope so, I've got 4 of them. Lol

Awesome, I happen to like a Lemans more than Gto as you don't see them as often. Most Lemans were cloned into gto's. Very cool car you got, there's a ton of reproduction parts available to fill in the missing bits and pieces. O.P.G.i. is one I know of, they reproduce many GM parts.
