1961 Ragtop Question

[SonOfThomp]

Some time back, there was a thread about a guy in Krum, Texas, who found a '61 ragtop in a ditch. There was practically nothing left of it, but he restored it. AMAZING.

Anyone have a link to the pics?

THANKS

The car is not done yet as we got side tracked building the 62 Impala wagon. Tony is back on it again and he should have the frame rolling by this weekend. Hopefully we can set the body on the frame soon so he can finish blocking the quarters and get it painted. Then it's all down hill from there, but will still be another 6 - 8 months. He is hoping to break it out next spring.

Two important messages for Skim

1) Do NOT let Brian drive it over to Ronnies


2) Glad he put little wheels on the convert, this should alleviate any problems with vision when backing out of Brian's place so he does't hit anything.



By the way ,fantastic Job
