I was watching this and intended on bidding, but missed the end of the auction. :bash:
looks like a ton of work, I’d be happy if i missed that
looks like a death trap!
looks like a POS to me
don’t you have a lot of unfinsihed projects all ready
it doesn’t look like that much work at all to me… :dunno:.
I do have a lot of projects, but I’ve been looking for a chassis car to put my 68 nova drag car guts into since the rear end shifted over. I mean, you couldn’t build that ebay car for 1700…
That thing is junk. The back half is no where close to being right. Only worth scrap value.
I got my '55 off of eBay and it looked better than that. I wanted a cheap home for an engine and transmission. The cheap way definitely wasn’t cheaper…
guess its a good thing i didn’t bid it!
Yeah. Little by little it adds up. On the '55, we replaced the front suspension with drag springs/shocks, drop spindles, disk brakes. Replaced the ladder bar cross member and coil-overs. New cage. Fiberglass doors and body work. The list goes on and on.
Good learning experience. But, next time, I’d save up for a rear frame kit with 4-link and a whole front subframe with mustang ii rack and coil-overs. Connect them and use a fiberglass body. I’ll bet it would be cheaper and less time consuming in the long run.
Good miss, it’s a pile. It looks like half-assed “fabrication” with mail-order parts. That’s not a 4-link, it’s ladder bars. And I wouldn’t trust any of the welding in there. It’d ALL need re-done. Now, if ALL of the sheetmetal was solid would it still be worth $1700 even knowing you’re going to cut it all out and start over? Probably, it is a 1st gen and the 9" rear would be re-useable w/ freshening. But it wasn’t a steal.
