Unfortunatly the local library here threw them out a few years back. I got that copy at a garage sale years ago. I looked on E-bay for the box set that was released, mininum bid was $500.00. On Amazon they were 800-1,000 for used box sets. Edited by Mercman, Nov 6 2009, 05:18 PM.

They all flat heads except the one. The blown one has Ardun Heads, the other is a 12 cyl. , and the one is stock from the Mono 40 Ford PU. I'm thinking along the lines of a traditional with 2 or 3 dueces.

If I use it tough it will take away from what I invisioned, But then That may not be bad. Nothing set in concrete. All I know for sure is no Rat Rod. Color will be suede for sure, but not all rusty. I'm going to go for the pre paint lok. Making $0.75 hr. a paint job has to be saved for.

Bronze Medal Member Posts: 2,708 Group: Members Member #482 Joined: November 25, 2006	Decided on the flathead for this one, the Ardun is going to go into a rail job. Tires i'm not sure of yet. I was thinking cheater slicks, but probly not. I opened the roof, and the trunk, got plans for these. The hood not sure on that either. Edited by Mercman, Nov 9 2009, 08:18 PM.
