FUN / HOBBIES

I Bought This Car In 1983, & On My Birthday In 1988 I drove Over A Steel Plate Which Came Through The Floor Of My Car, Ripping The Bottom Out Of The Car, & Launching Me Into 3 Lanes Of Oncoming Traffic, About 5 Feet In The Air. ( I Guess They Put Those Wings On The Car For A Reason ! ) The Seat -Smashed Up Into The Steering Wheel- & Me, -Smashed Up Into The Roof, Should Be Down Where The Chrome Kick-Step Panel On The Floor Is -- An 18 Inch Difference! Ultimately, This Car Got A Frame Off Restoration Started, Including A New Frame. Then Had To Be Stored In 1991. I Plan To Put A New Tubbed Race Frame Under It So I Can Give It The Big Meat Treatment! It Will Be Getting Treated To New Metal, Paint And Interior With About Another $10,000. Brought Out Of Storage And Resurected AGAIN in Spring 2001 With New Everything From The Radiator Back, .... The Process Began Anew .... FRANKEN-CAR LIVES AGAIN!!
(What You See Here Is That Point in The Process) I Have All The Parts To Finish It, And Am Assembling It Even As You Read This To Be Finished And Ready In .....??? !

My Own Personal Money Hole !!

Open Wide, Insert Motor! (it's in!!) These Pics are From Spring 2001 The Bumpers Are On, The Motor Is In & Has 400 Miles On It..heh heh.. LOTS of Horse Power .. It's All Good~!!

Time To Buy Some Aluminum Headers!

The Front Clip Is From A BelAire, Thats Why The Chrome On The Front Fenders Does'nt Match The Correct Chrome On The Doors -I have The New Fender Spears! ! Not To Mention The Missing Chrome On The Passenger Side Front Bumper - EEK !!

You Can Really Tell How Faded And Dirty The Paint Is In This Picture :( It's Been Parked Outside Most Of The Summer, And Needs A Bath Badly !!

The Old BATMOBILE Looks So Much Better With The Bumper Back On!

The Seat Is Freshly Rebuilt, But Still Needs A Bit Of Tweakin'

The Rest Of The Interior Will Be Installed AFTER It Goes To The Body Shop, So It Won't Get Ruined With Dust AT The Body Shop!!
