Geez, Bill, how do you hear about these things?

You must have better contacts than I do

(admittedly, most of my contacts deal with Mustangs, though...)

Very Cool! I guess I am going to have to get up to your side of town sometime to see your collection!

Great score Bill! Where are those deals when I'm looking?

Bill W · Post by **Bill W** » March 18, 2011, 7:48 pm

it helps to have a acre plus to store them on and no HOA to deal with. yeah, the grill is nice! no headlight buckets though,
here are a few more...

the hood is nice, just a few rust holes along the front

Good deal Bill!
Fender looks to be lined up decent - how are the cab mounts?

looks like the grille has been modified on the drivers side to fit the later headlight bucket.

In the immortal words of Daffy Duck: "You're Dissspicable!!"

Take some good close-up pics of where the white meets the red, especially the door jambs, - an original one like this can help alot when someone is trying to do a tu-tone.
Sorry I couldn't be there to help you procure it. ( I still think my 66 looked better on your trailer!) Good job. Cheers G.

Bill, I will take your Arizona rust over my West Virginia rust any day...

...I think the old girl still looks pretty solid. Are you going to part her or fix her or what??? You did a great job saving her and and that price,

, where could you have gone wrong??

Bill, with your collection I am sure that it can be seen from the space station with the naked eye.

I need to get down there some time to check out all these projects.

Why is it most slicks have rust in that spot along the roof rail? I would have though the water would have just washed away!

Bill W · Post by **Bill W** » March 19, 2011, 6:11 pm

i think they rust from the inside.
