I got my new derby car (a 1977 Olds 98) off the trailer today and hauled the partially built Crown Vic off to its new resting place. I'm realy excited...For those of you who care enough to wonder 'why get rid of a partially finished car to bring home a car that you have to start all over again with,' I got rid of the Crown Vic because I'd started building it to one set of rules before I lost interest, and it's pretty darn illegal for the show I want to run in September, so I had to start over with a new car with less welds :lol: So, without further ado...
Bye bye Crown Vic...

Yes, it has 3 flat tires, and yes, it still drove off the trailer under its own power.

No front bumper yet, cuz it came with aluminum bumpers, and that just won't do...

We kinda fubared the rear end pushing it on the trailer with a tractor, but all that sheetmetal's getting re-worked with the trusty sledge anyway, so no real harm done...
