So cruising through Sycamore's B&O junkyard, sat a little '74 2002. I call it Mr. RustBucket. Upon inspection, it's rusty, no clutch, old varnished gas and flat tires. Oh well, I purchased junk before so this time would be no different.

Dragged it home, filled the tires up with air, bleed the clutch and changed the plugs and fluids....it ran...and drove!

So I pulled off the safety bumpers, added the turbo flares, new headlights and a quick cleaning. The gas tank is rotted, but i'm using a boat gas tank. I just need to find one more wheel and then some new 13" tires. If I don't find another matcher for cheap, Ill go with some low offeset Rota rb's either 13x8 or 15x8 (depends on how much cash I have)

the end result i would like my car to look like this. I just have to get the front air dam. I don't believe I'll put any type of bodywork into the car. if I do it will be caked with bondo and some single stage paint.

This was just a quick project to have something for this summer. I'm still working on my 1952 Deluxe (which I have the motor in now!) Still having the october deadline
