50's Retro Ruffrod cab project...

Have you done so much to the car today that it just doesn't fit into one section, or are you too damn lazy to split it all up? Either way, this is the section for you.

Really cool. The wide whitewalls, in particular, are a brilliant bit of inspiration.

So sad to hear that you are selling her. She has always been one of my favorites.
However, it is a lucky buyer that will get her, I hope that whoever it is will take great care of her.

sniff sniff sniff, I know what losing a car that you have poured your heart and soul into does. But wait there is always the next one. :)
