Just like a few other Rusty builds this one has been sitting without much attention…☹️ Very Original Solid driver for 15ish years, rebuilt tons of shit, wore out tons of shit! OG motor I had rebuilt at Painters years ago was about to break so i quit driving it, that was a couple years ago!!! 6G Firm!

Oh it’s moving on. There is a 20 year old young woman waiting for me to go pick it up and haul it home. The goal is to have it running by her birthday in mid May.
Back when she was little

It was there, but to the left of the paint booth, right about where JJ’s front porch is. 🙂

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

I’m not sure? But if it happens I get to blow some money into other stuff!! 5 Bus projects at my house, feel like they are barking pups waiting for a bone!!! Then there is that Split Bug……… think I need to sell another 8 or 9 Things!!!!😀

One spot at the rear of each rocker and a battery section patch in the pan.

Not sure how involved it is. I emailed the boss man. The car should be there in a day or two and you guys can let me know

Considered this 181 a couple years ago, even contacted the Rusty. Gonna be fun watching KCW do the magic. Congratulations on the sale/purchase.
