    These red 63/64 cars seem to keep finding me. Jesse hooked me up with this one from Glenwood last year.

    The plan is to go for an outlaw-look..not really lowered, but with aggressive fat tires…ralley style.

    Its not perfect, but very promising & just the way I like them.

    The low rider is a cool ass car. Hopefully someone scoops something up to help the $$ situation.

    Brake job over the weekend. I blasted/painted backing plates and drums while I had them apart.

    I was ready to bleed the brakes, and found the pedal was seized due to a mouse nest in the tunnel…looks like I have more cleaning to do.

    Yeah, not having a car payment is a huge benefit of being a car builder.

    I’m sooo looking forward to cleaning the piss soaked nest out of the tunnel.

    I had that same issue with my heater tube on the bus. Always smelt like pine needles and mouse piss whenever there was heat going through it.:) Finally cut it out when I did the Subi swap.

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

    Poop drippin soup

    Packed from front to back with rat nest.. I used the vacuum, pressure washer, and drain cleaner through all the tunnel access spots.

    I rebuilt a different pedal assembly during the evenings last week also. Roller  pedal for less moving parts.

    That looked like it sucked. Did you get any come back in your face using the pressure washer?!
