Your mom votes for the truck. She says: " I've always been a truck girl."

Damn straight! If only whoever shaved the door handles would've thought to actually put in another way to open the doors in the process, that would be awesome. :facepalm:

I know in the sixties they would put a solenoid inside the doors that yanked on a cable to open them, then mount a button in a fender well that they could catch with their toe.

exactly.....25 tops!!! :laugh:

 

[Neck]

I thought so!

 

[The Restore Kid]

Rust???

Rust usually refers to holes in the body.. floor pans missing, body breaking in half..

I'm not seeing any rust.. :blink:

 

[Neck]

Us lower coast dwellers don't know anything about rust!

 

[Square_Chopper]

I've already got a few neat little ideas about where the poppers may end up. :grind:

TRK: The rust was on the 56 truck. As in huge gaping holes everywhere....rockers, driprail, fenders, running boards......you name it, there was rust there! You are quite correct, there is some surface rust on the floor of the Lincoln and one spot about the size of a quarter where the floor is rusted through. Beyond that, "rust free New Mexico car" is pretty much exactly what I got! :clap:
