    I think you are referring to Barry Lackey in the Gulf Coast area of south Texas. The car is the one he called the "Rust Rocket" It sat in a rice paddy for years, often flooded by the rains there, which incidentially were "Acid Rain" due to all the Petro refineries in the area. I took the steering column out of that car for him, and in doing so the car made a loud " PRONK!" sound and the firewall and windshield assembly moved about 2 inches. Barry's eyes bugged out, I just laughed.... Kenneth



    You're right Ken, it was Barry. What did he end up doing with that car?



    Memphis hasn't changed much since you were last here..........except the crime rate has gone up!

    finally got the new panel for the bottom of rear door welded in. I also fabricated a new weatherstrip channel and I think it turned out pretty good.



    Theres a HUGE dent in the door along the door edge that I could not get out all the way without denting the rest of it up so, when I welded the new panel in I had to match up the panel with the shallow dent to weld it in but I think a little body filler will work just fine to smooth it all out......HEY ITS ALL NEW METAL UNDER IT!!!!......lol!!.......I think I could have done a better job but was limited on metal working equipment. (desperately need to buy a metal break!).........Anyway here's a few pics of the door.....I say FIXED!
