After 3 years of Rotting in the Driveway

[mikemaker]

Howdy guys;

Here's a couple pics of my beater after a 3 year sentence in the driveway. She's back on the road to recovery.....I'm just happy to get her on the road again.

Rotting must have a different meaning in California than Wisconsin!

Doesn't look like a beater to me........nice!

Doesn't look like a beater to me........nice!

Yeah, I agree.

Exactly which parts of this "beater" are rotting?

We should all be rotting so nicely!

NICE RIDE!

She photographs well, and I like her stance but she's a 20 footer at best. Got some rust issues on her butt and passenger side rocker panel I have to deal with thar am not looking forward to.

Well, I see a 76 ball, curb feeler, visor and spotlight. Where are the fender skirts?

Looks good to me. 3 years is nothing, mine's sat since 94. Outside. In the Seattle area. Now I'm in the Memphis area. At least you still have color on yours.

skirts are in the garage, wanna buy them? I dont really have any use for them. I would gladly part with them for cheap. Bob, I have not been playing any music lately, all my gear is packed away, no time for any of that since my girl was born. I figure, someday I get back to it, but no time soon, that's for sure. Glad to see that you are doing well and still playing.

Mike,

Your car looks just great! I especially like the wheels with full cover hubcaps.

Are the skirts steel ones?

If they are, please let me know by private message what price you ask.

I do have fiber skirts uninstalle but would be keen to buy steel skirts instead.

Mike, I would say the car survived her three year wait very well, great looking car just as she is

[1just4don]

whats your address?? I wanna camp there for three years too and hope it makes 'me' look that good. Maybe its in the water there!!!Rainwater!!

P15 skirts would match my engine, but not my fenders. I was just razzing you a bit anyway, I would love to have mine back to that condition. My truck was grandp'a cow and firewood hauler, then spent 20 years as a potato storage bin in the barn. Then another 17 years as yard art.

Mike I'd like a crack at those skirts if uncle doesnt. Is there a reason you aren't running them?

[49 Dodge Dude]

Nice. How do you like driving it with the visor? My '49 Dodge has one, and I'm not quite sure how well I like the visibility with it on.

[DonaldSmith]

My DeSoto came with a Fulton sun visor when I first bought it, but I removed it because it impeded my vision of the traffic lights. How foolish of me! But I wised up, and reinstalled it, so now I am cool again.

I have a knockoff Guide ("Guode") traffic light prism, which works if I squint at it right, and I have also discovered that often the traffic lights are visible in reflection on my brightly polished hood.

We must endure some inconveniences to have a cool visor.

[mikemaker]

Bob T may want the skirts. He has first shot. Anyone else can send me a message if interested. They are not steel, they are fiberglass. Driving with the Fulton does impede visibility a bunch. It took me a few years, but I've gotten used to it. I may never sit up straight again. My wheel covers are off a 49 I believe. I have the originals in a box somewhere, I swapped them as I really like the way the 49's look and obviously I'm not a stickler for the originality of it.

I took my Fulton visor off of a p-15 and put it on mine. It did seem too low so I moved the mounting holes about one inch up and I like it much better.
