See how a scrap car was transformed into a real hot beauty.
It is a 1932 Chevrolet Roadster that was given a new life by the restorer that we visited at his workshop yesterday.
The car was left out in the open on a farm to slowly rust away and by the time that he bought it the car was only a shell.
So he gradually rebuilt the car into the showpiece that it is today.
The pictures down the left show what the car looked like when he bought it. And the pictures down the right show the restoration build.
Now just have a look at this imposing face.
How would you like to go and visit your girlfriend in a car like this?
So one would think that when an old car like this stops next to you at a traffic light and the driver gives you a racing signal in your sportscar, that he was mad.
But you will get the fright of your life as this old baby lifts her front up at a screeching pull off with smoke coming off the broad real wheel tires.
That 260km gauge on the speedo is no joke.
Up above under the roof you can see the other gauges and the guy said that he kept the design as simple as possible.
Just look at that chevvy gear stick and I love this car as I like simplicity.
Just a final look at this lovely car.
We took the motor hood off to show the car's real character and who would think that an old 1932 car could ever get a new life like this. The car was at his home and we proceeded to his workshop on the farm where he showed me other old cars that took my breath away.
Can you believe that he was given a lift in this other old car when he was 6 years old and he bought the same car like this when he turned 40 years old.
I will tell you the story in another post.
I think that restoration is a wonderful hobby and my full time hobby is charity work. In a way we also do restoration of a human kind.
So to each his own, but this doesn't stop us from admiring the efforts of others.
And That's All Friends!
