Car girl from Michigan

[reallyrotten]

Hi all,

Thanks for the add to this forum! I'm in Traverse City, MI (where car enthusiasts, especially rat rod owners, are few and far between). My old cars include a 1961 Cadillac Series 62 and a 1952 Ford gasser project. I don't have a rat rod yet, but that doesn't mean I don't love them. I hope to have one someday when the other projects get "finished".

I'm also a full time writer for several publications, so if you have a unique car story to tell, get in touch with me!

Hi and welcome to RRR from northern Alberta.
Most of the guys still tolerate me, and I haven't shown them a ratty ratrod yet. I believe we like to see someone building a hotrod and maybe not worry too much about what genre it's in.
Now, about all of those pictures you're going to show us.

welcome from OKLA. did I hear something about a gasser and a a caddy? without picks, I can't envision either.........so come on with the pics

The gasser is not yet a gasser. Right now it is a shell waiting for us to breathe some life into it. It was a 1952 Ford Crestline Victoria two-door hardtop that we found rotting into the ground under a bunch of pine trees. So, not much to see yet. This is what she looked like after pulling her from the woods:

Now all the paint is stripped off, engine and interior ripped out, and some panels have been replaced.


But the Cadillac runs

Welcome from TN! I have family up in Michigan, not quite as far north as you.... That Vic will make a nice gasser!!! I have gaser fever BAD.... love the caddy too.... that looks like a sweet riding automobile.

I am a huge dork, and I photoshopped what we want the gasser to be:

(Yes there's a turbo hidden in there)

Thank you for the pictures, especially the photoshop one. I quite often suggest photoshopping to newer members so we can see their dreams, and also so they can see their own dreams. I'm a fan of black cars, Ford hardtops, and turbochargers. [cl[cl[cl
