Anybody remember the Mobile Pork Incinerator? No? Well, anyway...

Turns out, Jerry spent a bit too much time at fairs, rodeos, reunions, car shows, and prison courtyards giving away free samples of his food and not nearly enough time at his restaraunt charging people money for his food, and had to close down his restaraunt. That's the bad news. The good news? It gave Jerry the opportunity to go into the fresh fish and bait market!

Naturally, he needed a suitable vehicle, so a brief scan of his backyard and a little elbow grease netted him this...

A '65 Lincoln Continental with a special, Jerry-fabricated extendo-trunk, with a blue tarp and a belly full of ice to keep his fresh catches fresh. When you boast about having the Pine River's Best Catches*, you've got to back up your claim!

Too bad the fish and bait biz is seasonal, and Jerry's going to need to close up shop. Thing is, though, I hear rumblings he has another seasonal job ready for the winter. Something about a portable saw mill... I'll keep you posted!

*= The Pine River's Fish are great... compared to fish caught in and around the area of the Chernobyl disaster.

This is pretty cool Chuck, something diffrent that's for sure, amn one of these days I outta step ot of the non custom car world and build something diffrent, not that my Firebirds and pickups aren't diffrent.

Definitely a "cool" ride, Chuck! I like the shark on the hood. Is the tarp made of blue duct tape? It looks realistic. Good looking "ice" too! Nice job on an imaginative build!

That's cool Chuck, how'd ya make the ice ?

Chopped up some chunks of clear kit sprue, and held it all in place with white glue. My palm is still numb from squeezing the sprue cutters!
