Chuck Most Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 DIRECTIONS; 1. Take one forlorn old Chevy sedan delivery, and an old Cadillac 354. 2. Wheel it into your shop. 3. Call your buddies over. 4. Crack open some beers. 5. Break out the reciprocating saw. 6. See what happens... That's about the only scenario I can think of to explain such an animal!
george 53 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Ok a 48 El Camino I can relate to. I can even relate to the Todd Rundgren( Something?,ANYTHING?) lookin dude in the pic, so now, after a coupla Hot Teas, I GUESS we're RELATED!!! Welcome to the Ohana Chuck!!

I can even relate to the Todd Rundgren( Something?,ANYTHING?) lookin dude in the pic, so now, after a coupla Hot Teas, I GUESS we're RELATED!!! Welcome to the Ohana Chuck!! Todd Rundgren... guitarist from Kansas? No, that was Kerry Livgren... to Google! We are related in spirit... that, and by the fact we'll both be shoveling snow for the next nine flippin' months! At least I won't need to deal with Detroit's legendary, MonsterQuest-caliber feral dog packs! Stray cats are the worst thing going on in my neck o' the woods!
george 53 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Chuck, I got me a Yardman 30in 6 hp. ELECTRIC start snowblower! Tore my shoulder up a few years ago, so I can't pull start one! I carry a Sig/Sauer 9mm.semi auto for the dog packs. Them an the fact that i used to work on the East side of Deeetroit! Ain't NO dog pack, 2 OR 4 legged kind gonna razz me!
Chuck Most Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) Good to know, George! And I totally know who Todd Rundgren is now- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_rundgren He kinda looks like Al Pitrelli (ex-Megadeth guitarist)! Edited December 9, 2009 by Chuck Most

I don't know how you would get in or out of it tho (no door handles inside or out side of it ). Guess you'd have to Dukes of Hazard it ! Of course when you've had a few beers in ya you might not care :lol:
Chuck Most Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 It's got inside handles, you just reach over the door and pop 'em open! The only cranks are for the wing-vents- since there's no roll-up door glass anymore!

Sixties Sam Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Cool car! Looks like a good parade car. Put the Dairy Princess or the Homecoming Queen on a throne in the back!
Foxer Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Well. I love it. Might have found a place for my bean bag chair ...
voljeepx Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Chuck, I like the way your mind works! This is a cool idea and it looks great! Best part is it looks like it could really happen! Nice work!
von Zipper Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 That's a great idea Chuck, You got the look just right !-2 Questions : Is the battery behind the passenger seat ? Do you have any pictures with the hood on it ? The Cadillac engine is a great detail too , Cecil

We have abandoned houses, gang shootings, crackheads and homeless people. Forget the feral dog packs. At least they don't try to hit you up for change at the bus depot .

Do you have any pictures with the hood on it ? The Cadillac engine is a great detail too , Cecil The battery is behind the seat because that big honkin' Caddy mill eats up most of the room in the engine bay. Instead of just running a smaller battery, I just slapped the kit battery in back! Why? Laziness, mostly! Oh, and it never has a hood- I wanted to let the Caddy shine! Chuck, you oughta come to Flint. We have abandoned houses, gang shootings, crackheads and homeless people. Forget the feral dog packs. At least they don't try to hit you up for change at the bus depot . Closest I've been to Flint is Flushing (home of Dean's Hobby Stop). Or is Grand Blanc closer- I've been there a couple of times. If I wanted the Detroit/Flint experience, though, I'd just drive to Saginaw. Way less distance to cover, and I know the ways out a lot better! Edited December 10, 2009 by Chuck Most
Harold Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Grand Blanc is a bit closer, but there's nothing there. However, when I go to Flushing, I really have to keep an eye on my wallet. Over the years, Dean has become rather impressed with my spending abilities .

I'll still spend as much as I can over there!
