Unfortunately, I'm in PA. Otherwise I'd be all over it.

In my opinion the appeal of natural patina is that it typically rusts extremely slowly for whatever reason. That cav is going to be a total POS after about a year if it sees any weather.

Yeah, I really lucked out on this truck. In spite of the body work it needs, it was an extremely good deal. I will definitely be updating this thread as I make more progress.

My latest work in progress is a 1969 Chevy C10. I picked this beast up for 585 bucks on ebay. I'm in for about 400 bucks in sheet metal. Once the structural sheet metal is done I will be doing the bare minimum to get her on the road. Numbers matching, running 307 and all.
The dash wiring had caught on fire in the past and was basically destroyed. Luckily the ends on the harness and fuse block were still intact, so I spent this past weekend repairing the harness with new wire and some new ends. As of now I have all of the electrical in the truck functioning and the motor starts and runs very well.
I also bought a '71 C20 parts truck that will hopeully be getting Rat Truck treatment in the future (chopped, channeled, and butt ugly)

My next Hood Ride was a 1982 Porsche 928 I bought for 900 bucks. Got the dead 4.5 V8 running with some intake and fuel system work. Did a water pump and timing belt. Some flat black paint and it was ready to roll:

Hi. I have a couple of Hood Rides.
The first is my completed 1984 VW Jetta GLI. Yes, it's a VW, scroll down for non VW Hood Rides.
I got the car for FREE! Then I put a sum total of 450 bucks and hours of work into her. Here are some pics from along the way.
In the beginning....
Removed / Rebuilt / Refreshed the 1.8 JH engine and 4K tranny.
Prettied up the engine bay with some paint:
The End Result. On the road now.
