look what I bought...

[ChampTrucking]

And you thought Bams had it bad.But hey,it was cheap,thanks to bored young men broke into a storage lot and broke every piece of glass there was out of it.Now anyone know where I can get all the side glass and vent windows?

[barnlark]

Drive down the road to Tommy's, Rich. He has tons of that stuff. He hibernates all winter, but he may let you go get it. Looks solid and a bright pastel, like you like' em!

All I can say is: 502 BBC hooked to TH350 and Narrowed 9 in. with air locker. Tubbed 4 link thrown in for good measure.

All you would need is Acrylic Sheet to replace the glass. Think of all the money you can save.

And last but not least: "Pretty in Pink" painted on the sides.

Oh yah, dump the nasty front bumper

I like the way you think!!! I am thinking straight axle,fenderwell headers ,the small block in my garage or the 454 in my friends garage,Dana44 Primer black,whatever interior I can find to fit,a rool bar and a period hood scoop,or no hood and two 4's with velocity stacks.No fornt bumper either.And it may get a 61 single headlight nose like my other 61 Lark. I just need to finish mama's wagon first! Yancy's car has a magical effect on me!

[ChampTrucking]

WTH is spell check? Sorry-tired eyes!

[sweetolbob]

Your getting close but you'll need the two inner headlights to feed the throats of the twin 4-bbls and keep the SBC for another project. Nothing beats the thunder of a BBC through the fenderwell headers.

I'd modify the hood to keep whatever I had underneath a mystery even if I had to put a ProStreet scoop on it.

Think Ford Thunderbolt.[]

BTW, If I have a next project, it'll be exactly what we are discussing now.

Vent glass and side glass is all flat glass. Your local glass shop can cut it for you. Does Dennis at SASCO not have any?

Its nice to see you're saving it!! A Custom 2 door sedan (F6) is quite rare!

Rich, you are a wild man! As long as you finish Momma's wagon first, or you might end up living in it

Wow, that certainly looks dry if it is a South Bend car, Rich; is it?

Is the car a V-8? What transmission?

Did you move? That doesn't look like the house and garage where Jim Turner and I picked up his "new" (your "old") Dakota. BP

[BobGlasscock]

I'm thinking you're gonna have a problem if you replace the glass. That passenger side door restraining system probably won't work properly with glass in there.

Oh listen to the bench racing dreams, there getting wild, imaginative and deep......I like it..

Champ looks like quite the undertaking, as to the glass, the only thing I think I can help with would be the drive and pass main glass. Keep us informed, cause I think shipping would be a bear.

Super charged small block, keep the hood (don't want to scare away the ney sayers) Smoke em at the light and raise the hood when you see their bewildered face [}]at the cruise.

ps. frame pics coming
