like my other build this is a basket case build, a build started from a car witch no one would believe would ever see the road again. These in fact are my favorite builds, ones that all your talent and heart is poured into. Much like myself my daughter is strong willed and dosnt know the meaning of NO.
Her car was Found by some Awesome SUICIDESLABS members as a post on craigslist, After being alerted to it I quickly asked a local member to check it out. He in turn gave me a pretty decent account of its condition and through networking the car was purchased, stored, and finally transported to its new home here in South Georgia.
Like I said her car is a basket case and just basically a rolling shell. Witch while most would cringe at its sight and amount of work needed to get going is EXACTLY what I was looking for... the fact that its a VERT only sweetens the deal.
With that in mind I started the long process of locating certain things witch at this time are still being worked out.
things I already have is a 67 donor sedan, that most parts will be used from for this build, glass, trim, body panels, interior etc...etc...
This was the only pic available from the craigslist add
not much to go by but from what I read it was exactly what I was looking for
and the 67 sedan I allready had was chock full of the parts that I needed to put into the Vert
AFter it sat as beautiful yard art at Member Chris Browns house in Kissimee Fla for a few months, I went down to look my purchase over and get it ready for transport, Then another member Tony Bolin came through and dropped it off on his way to procure more craziness itself in Ohio.
here it is dissasembeled at Chris's house
got some tires on it and put the panels all together on it and ready for transport
then waited a few weeks for Tony to roll through!
since Katie has known about this car from its purchase she has thought about how she wanted it done and colors and such
she picked out a pretty awesome color for it
a tri stage color changing paint that I think will kill on this vert! not your typical black Continental
then I decided to take her ideas and roll them together and had A close personal freind of mine do a commisioned rendering of her car to better get an idea and a goal to look forward too
hope you guys are ready for an equaly awesome build that will push the envelope of new ideas for these cars!
