Mom's old car.
So my old 82nd Airborne bud Bill stops by to show me the finished ride. His Italian scrupulous mom paid $3,000 back in 1973 and she wasn't paying a dang penny more.
The car was passed through the family and finally put to pasture in one of the kids backyards. Bill asked and they gave him the car in pretty rough shape. He has some friends in Conn. that do that vehicle restoration and 3 1/2 yrs. later here she be. Complete take down to the frame, nuts bolt interior engine rear end everything on the vehicle. Engine is a 'Stoker' I think he called it? He said Tim yah don't want to know the cost of restoration $$ but I know I will never get my money back but he does not care. Hell it was Mom's old car.

Beautiful. Getting rid of all the rust I'm sure was a major job.
