Wes was nice enough to hook Taylor up with a roller project. He drove down to Mendocino to get it about 3 weeks ago. We finally have it in a place we can work on it and started the clean up.
The backstory is that Wes got it in Oakland where it had sat behind a rib joint for some time. Apparently, some rodents made a home in the air box. They also acquired a taste for ribs. It appears the brought a few back with them. They were there for some time, and urinated eating the bulkhead out. The hell hole and floorboards look good. The pan is intact and looks good. He has a bunch of work ahead of him, but it will get restored back to stock ivory white. Attached thumbnail(s)

This was a fairly nice car that someone let set for sometime and apparently made a perfect home to a family of rats, at any rate eating through wiring and pissed on the cowling bulkhead rusting it away to a point where you could literally stick your finger easily through the rusted out bulkhead and gas tank. Other wise fairly clean and rust free. I used it as a parts car and found it good to compare wile resembling my yellow car. I at one point thought I might build a little truck out of it but just getting to a point that I don't need any new projects. I'm very happy that Taylor has decided to bring this little 73 back to life.
