new ratty hoopty

[cbrestorations]

I was thinking I'll use this body for my ratty Daytona clone. Similar to "daisy but no flares. It's a 383 2bbl, r4 red with white top and white interior. Being a cool color combo I dunno now. Gonna dump it in charger storage for now lol

I love these posts. Seeing these neglected cars is fun. Sometimes I like seeing the old beaters more than a nicely restored one.

Where do you find these neglected 2nd-gen bodies that are so solid in 2016? 


I know it's probably got some bondo, but . . the lower half of it is still there at all.

[PrisonHack]

That's a clean start

[cbrestorations]

That's the pretty side lol...the other side looks like steel beam fell on the top of the quarter and the was attempted to be pounded out. Cowl is rusty, floor is gone, rear window channel rotted, trunk gone, roof was used as a trampoline and passenger door beat up. The power of picture angle lol.

You need your own TV show. I believe it would be a hit!!!!

ehh...i dunno about that one lol

[marshallfry01]

Looks pretty solid. Just beat to shit.  Both of my cars are rusty and beat to shit. 

[cbrestorations]

entire floor is shot and torsion support missing in center, someone needed console brackets and just thought it easier to take the whole tunnel section with torsion support lol

[marshallfry01]

Damn. Lol sounds like the previous owners got a little carried away.

Exactly like my previous 69 although I'm not sure about the drive train anymore. That one was rough, but not this rough. Never know though, a lot can happen in 6 years.

Looks like the perfect candidate for one of the full frame conversions.



But, given CBs fabricating skills, I'm sure he can come up with something cool.

What is the plan, repair/replace the stock floors and frame? Stock or custom suspension?

[cbrestorations]

the frame on this car is actually pretty decent, would be a shame to cut it up.
these cars on the other hand i have no problem cutting the entire lower section of the cars off, cuz they be junk, like returned to a mineral state on the lower half type junk!!! ive gotta go up and get them next spring, i worked out a deal on a few of them cheap. its impossible to get them out now. i wanna turn them into full frame roadrace looking cars. way more wicked looking than my current project. i thought it would be fun to try and do youtube videos or like episodes on building these things

[cbrestorations]

im stock pilling on the junk thats not worth restoring lol, but would make awesome ratty roadrace, nascar clones and drift cars. atleast their not getting crushed right lol...

[XS29L9Bxxxxxx]

How much was it? 

[cbrestorations]

How much was it? 

the blue 70 was 1500, but it had full interior and in ok shape. the car itself...JUNK. it was in an old warehouse full of cars. all about in the same shape. the warehouse had a overhead trolley type crane. we used the crane to pick the car up to move it over the rest of the cars and dropped it on the trailer. i didnt even think to get pics of it as i was helping pull it in the air. was cool to see.

I would love to see you build these cars on a youtube channel.
