Good idea James. 
Thats thinking outside the box!!
Little more progress, got the rear seat brackets repaired and welded in. Also the center and perimeter of the pan welded in.
I see a little grinding in my future.

Looking good! Freshened up engine bay, patina on the outside, solid metal underneath .
.
Patching in some of the rust holes that meet up to the pan.
This is my stick and rock fabrication.
I bent this over some heavy wall tubing so it would soften the bend.
I will make another patch that will extend it to take care of the hole to the right. It just makes it easier to work with.

Getting out of my funk since mom passed. Got the pan finished up on the inside.
When I came by the other day I looked at Joey’s car, man it’s looking really nice! Very clean! Are you going to put carpet And a pad in it? If you do make sure you take plenty of pictures so Joey will have his before and after. I remember when you were going to just put an engine in it and make it roadworthy, I guess the plans have changed a little
that’s good though the car is definitely worth it. I would love to have it. Someday I’ll find one out there worth Rescuing.
I guess Joey knows how lucky he is to have James working on it, I know I’m lucky to have James for a friend! A Real Good Friend!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm guessing the carpet will go in when he has the seats redone.
Tooth, hope you fined a car when your engine is done.

That’s a good question I’ve been thinking about for a long time Tom, I really like the 61. I also like the 63. I once had a 65 with a 283 automatic and was a super sport. My first car. I would be happy with a 61-65 I seriously like them all!....
I guess if I could only choose one to make my own it would be a 61. Biscayne, Belair, Impala not too particular just like the backend and the front end of those cars. Tom I will give you your money back for the black 62 that you stole out of my backyard in Harrisburg! Just the way you bought it would be perfect!!! Lol

You need to go down to Russ's and take a few of his for a test drive. 
That would be fun, but maybe Joey knows of something around here? Joey this is a shout out.
That's why I leave my check book at home.
Russ I don't remember seeing a 1961 Chevy in the brood, is there a reason for that?
