My garage sale find( sand scorcher) new pics

Post by toolman72 »

My neighbor found this at a garage sale a few years ago,it was a basket case,but many hours and beers later here it is! It runs and dosent sit on the shelves very much. I made a custom wide chassis and nose tubes,machined the alum wheel halves,chopped up the body stripped and painted. Enjoy. forgot to add,it has a original thorp ball diff,what a find! :D
