Ratty Split Mission.....Custom Interior

Post by GFresh »

Ok here she is, been watching this ol girl for about 15 years and the old guy who owned it finally gave me the call, roof is a little dinged up from a branch that fell on it only 2 months ago, it was straight before that and has been sitting outside under that tree for about 30 years,

Wish me luck I has me work cut out for me!

Also I am looking for a twin port 1600 for it just to get it mobile

Best of luck there, GFresh.
Good than another is being rescued.
Those vents are pretty hammered though.
Pretty much donor roof territory.
But don't be dismayed.
You've seen my '55, right?
At least yours hasn't been painted with house paint........ :evil:

with no cancer in the roof Id try to get it straight with a jack, slapper and dollies. Looks like its really complete, thats a great start. How much cancer in the lower half?

Good luck

Great find, great rat candidate and may even have some treasures inside by the looks :shock:

Good luck with it and post up a few more pics once you have given it a clean up.
No matter what happens they can't take you out in the street and shoot you......
