Seen it. That is an old school flame job right there.
Not sure it is worth $1800. More like $300 or $400 tops. It will need "Everything"

Yes for being just a shell and sitting on that roof for all those years.... Can't imagine there is much to work with.

Stopped at my buddys paint shop to see him before Christmas. He is the builder of the F-100 I have been documenting.
This is what I saw.....1948 Ford all steel straight as a die...


53 Flathead.....purrs like a kitten

It's nice seeing when people give new life to these classics rather than being yard art rusting away in a farm field.

Yeah, I get a kick out of people who tell me how valuable their car is as it sits and continually deteriorates out in the elements. Don't they understand that it is just losing value as time marches on? Us older guys(I'm a baby boomer) better realize that there is not going to be enough millennials interested in old cars to keep the values growing.

If you have an old anything and you aren't planning on doing something with it, sell it now while you can still get a few bucks.

Exactly. I'm looking forward to a really sweet collection someday once all you old farts die off and I can scoop up HEMI cars for pennies.

Lol.

Look at it this way RH. When I am ready and you help me find the right car for me, you can look for one you will like when I kick off. You can then buy it from my estate auction since my millennial kids won't want it.

I haven't seen it yet. We're doing our kids Christmas presents this morning. Looks cool though.

They are cool, but I wouldn't run one on my beast. I've actually been exploring fuel injection when I go to build the new heart. 400 gets torn down Monday.
