    Guess what this started it's automotive life as?

    I saw a guy make a car out of two refridgerators once, he started with a 51 Crosley fridge in the front, but had to graft a wider 55 Norge fridge on the rear because he couldn't fit in the damn thing, powered by a Crosley car drive train. He painted it white, dead giveaway for a fridgerator car...

    Bingo, 1958 Isetta, hacked the roof off and used the front door faced to the rear, a 4 banger turbo Ford engine out of a Turbo Coupe I believe, and bagged suspension out of a boneyard is my guess. You guys are good.

Anyway he wanted to know what his under construction rat rod weighed. I got out my camera because I thought these pix should...

    How low is too low

    Too low is when you bring your car to the shop where I was working and try to get me to weld up your gas tank because you ground a weak spot that was seeping gasolene from bottoming out. Another "too low" was similar, this guy ground off one of the gas tank straps holding it up, the other strap...

    Davey Allison Texaco car I see you're building or restoring a Davey Allison Texaco car, I did one a couple years ago in a tribute series and Bobby Allison came to the little track in San Bernardino that day. One of our cars was the Bobby Allison Coca Cola car and I had made a Texaco car out of...
