Another one found its way home.
« on: January 06, 2009, 01:16:58 pm »
I was out working in the shop and a guy stops in and says he`s got a baja he needs to get rid of cause he`s settling on a house the next day,  I said that I really didn`t want anymore late model projects ,He says oh its not, its a 57 oval!! BO** P#3 Not even a 1/4 mile down the road so...its gonna be a project and its ugly but its fixable..I`ll try to  post some picks later think it was a drag racer rather than off roader notube bumpers or lights, six point cage......... My disease is getting worse!!!

I dont know yet, but the cross bar behind the seats has to go!! too damn old an fat to be crawlin through and over it. it is bolted to the body everywhere except the door bars they welded them to the original heater channels!!!!! @7@ I believe it was welded up in the car so its gonna take some creative  gifsawsall to get it out for use again. You get first shot if i dont want it. WA#

Tnx. Id actually take it in pieces. I have a body lift so any cage I buy would need to be modified. I just need a mock-up so i can have one built
