Never to old to have a happy childhood
Well, I finally got around to taking pics of the 41 Caddy that a lady gave me today. I think it's gonna make a fine "Rat". The interior is rat (real ones) eaten, but it's all there. The rear fenders are gone and that's a good thing. When I opened the hood I smiled because there was a big old flatty sitting in there. I didn't know that Caddy put a flathead in their cars. I think I have seen a Caddy straight 8 but never a flathead. This was a parts car for a running and in great shape 41 Caddy. Her husband had a parts car for everything he had. There is a Nash Rambler sitting in front of in that I'm probably gonna have to pull home so it will be out of the way. I can already see the Caddy with no fenders or hood with that flathead sitting in there, channeled down real low. As it sits right now it doesn't look like it needs to be chopped because it's a fastback. I'm excited, but it will probably be a year or two before I can work on it. I have to finish my 50 Chevy truck first. I'll also post pics of the other projects just waiting. Harleyboy
