In the fall of 1997, I met a fellow hot rodder at a car show and
mentioned that
I was interested in building a shoebox woodie. |

Turns out he had one in his backyard! After I looked it over I
decided it was
was too much work and passed on it. |

But my wife decided she wanted to keep track of me and she bought it
for
for me as a Christmas gift. $1300 put this major project in my
driveway. |

I then disassembled the car for easier storage. |

The wood was shot. You could poke your finger through it. |

This is going to take some work |
