I’ve always been a an old school hot rod flat black kind of guy. Now with a drag project that isnt going to see the street anytime soon, I’m looking for something I can make a fun summer cruiser out of. Perferably 2 door, rolling chassis. old as hell, anywhere from 1957 and older. Unless its a pickup truck Keep in mind I dont want those old giant land yaghts of the late 50s that were 75 feet long. Please dont post that shit in newark from craigslist, as thats the other side of the world. Just wondering if any of the muscle car guys know someone with an old truck or something rotting thru the dirt in someones back yard ---
