At this trip to Home Depot, this was the oldest, and coolest, thing there. Kris bought the finished car from a S. Texas fellow. Powered by a 318 Mopar V8. This car looks even better the closer you get to it. Love the stance, the rarity, the paint and the Cragars.
I took this cool project in SW Austin at a shared facility occupied by the late Bill Collings and Mercury Charlie — I believe it was Bill’s project. It’s the only car I’ve seen in a hot rod garage on barrels like this. The red sign and the red wheels make it a favorite image of mine. Mercury Charlie has move since to a nearby location.
I found this handsome car at the now-defunct Custom Car Crafters. The headlights are aftermarket items. E&J (Edmunds & Jones) Type 20 headlights were manufactured by Edmund & James Corporation in Detroit from the 20s, as an aftermarket light used mainly for expensive sporty cars of the time and highly coveted by early hot rodders.
