What happened to our old pal Boyd?  Wasn't he going to clean it up and make some sort of offer to sell the new owner trick wheels or some fool thing?

It's pretty hard to restore a car when everyone that works for you quit to work for Chip Foose

Raymond E. Humbertson Has been found.  However he died in 1979.  His closest living relative(s) are his two older sisters.

They should have said 50 years ago "must be present to win" then this year they should have gone through all the entries closest to the guess on out until they found someone present.

Is it just me or do the photos of this car remind you of the pics of the Titanic? 

Anyway, thanks to everyone that posted up all the info & links.  I sure enjoyed the stories (even my family did, and they could care less about cars).  It's a shame that it didn't come out like we were hoping for.

I predict that now that it's out of the ground and smells like a man getting a perm in the septic tank of a slaughter house, that I will continue not to give a shit about it.  I was really into it before it came out.  now that it's been shown to be a turd, I must move on.

I'm still curious about the true condition of the car's metal.

I would say 40% metal and 60% rust........thats if it was melted down and seperated. Look at the pic over the wheel well. If it was blasted I don't think there wouldn't be anything left.

If this were a finish you could give a car without destroying the integrity it would make for an amazing ratrod.

[Red Ram]

They should cryogenically freeze it until we have the technology to restore it...like Walt Disney.

I agree, this would be one BA ride if you could pull it off. I kinda would wanna try it with a truck that im looking at now that you brought that idea to my attention. I first just have to figure out how to keep it from rusting more  And anyone have any ideas about how to get it to look like that? or should I just ask Tulsa what they recommend? 

[IowaCharger69]

i saw a car at the Goodguys show in Des Moines this summer that had surface rust all over the car, but it was shellacked (sp) so that it was at little contained.  I heard also that it was something you can paint onto boats to protect them. They call it a Minnesota Special.

Hey this car was an experiment that didn't work out,kinda like what i think cryogenic storage for people will be like in the future :shruggy:just my

Freezer Burn?

So does that mean that someday we will have Ted Williams and Walt Disney's rotting heads unveiled as some big "resurrection" event? Man I can't wait for that one?

A little soak in some www.safestrustremover.com and it all go away...

literally.
