In Tombstone i saw this little project for George.....

there is a sign that tells you the vehicle is under video cameras to watch for vandals. I think the cameras are broken

"In Tombstone...." That sure seems fitting

Ok Tony, I know I've earned a reputation for buying a lot of junkers but even I can't see a future in that one.

Besides I just picked this up last night. I'll bet I paid less than they'd want for that one and it even runs

Yes, it's a touring coupe....a '92 but the guy I got it from was a nut about fixing any little thing that went wrong. He even had the tranny rebuilt and there wasn't anything wrong with it. It's in really good shape.

My wife loves hers it had less than 60,000 on it when she bought it last Nov. It's about time for her to put it in storage though. Getting close to convertible weather and she's got an 02 Mustang for a summer car. Just like us with the rods a summer car and a winter car.

There's not enough metal there to make one real car.

I'm really surprised that all of you look at this and can't see a chance to re-create Sumner's uncle's race car. That hood looks long enough to get a straight eight under. I wonder if there's a title for it (I'm sure there's a title for me)? Unfortunately those fenders are the wrong style. The best looking Crosley I ever saw was at a NSRA Nats one year but I think it had Model "A" fenders on it. GPster P.S. While I'm talking about Sumner and race cars. How streamlined would a '48 Pontiac Fleetline be running backwards? I know you already have some knowlege of the mechanicals.

Frank, at first I thought you were talking about the Tombstone project.

Nope, I was talking about Tony's cars. I used to carry a lunch box bigger than that.

Looks like an awesome street racer to me. Any big OHV 8 cylinder or Jimmie 302, move the E brake to outside the body, lower the steering column by about half. Theres nothing missing that can't be made by hand. Is it for sale, how much? Thanks for sharing
