Damn, I was surprised how good it looked after a washing! Nice score"You don't so much drive it, more like poke it with a sharp stick and channel the fury when you piss it off."

Great purchase BTW.. I meant to say that in my original post but forgot.
You should be able to make some good money off that once you get it where you want it.
My dad's was originally an inline 6 with the "3 on the tree" when he bought it from his brother in the early 90's, but he eventually upgraded it with a 350 crate motor from Ford and a used Turbo 350. Other than the shorter bed and some restoration, it was pretty much stock (steering and all that). He did lower it and it wasn't nearly perfect, but it was a clean, solid driver. He ended up selling it to his cousin (my 2nd cousin) for like $8,500 a few years ago. His cousin still has it and only lives about 10 miles from my dad.
He brought it up to my dad's house while we were up there in August to rub my nose in it. My dad was going to "sell" it to me before him, but ended up needing the cash quickly and I wasn't prepared to pony up in full, not to mention having it shipped here from WA.

I have lots of ideas and actually most of the parts to build something cool but I've got other projects to deal with first. One thing it might get soon is a T-5 to make it more streetable.
As for cars, I'm really afraid to figure it out. I think I'm around a dozen.
