Here are some more photos. I kinda had to be kwik because the guys who let me do this didn't have permission from the boss.

Interior is falling apart. But the seats look good but for some wear. The dash is ok except for the missing glove box and lid. The carpet is really dirty. The main head liner is not to bad off if it could be cleaned.

I'll be adding some engine and frame pics later.

Sorry for sideways pic but are the antennas on the roof for a CB radio or something?

Ya No idea either. And the guys I talked to don't even know. But they were proud to point out the wood mockup.
And yes took plenty of photos of that to.

There are no door striker pins at all. To keep people from locking them selves in the car if they try to be stupid.

That is a flexible map light, that is just the switch to turn it on and the flexible light arm looks to have been pushed down into the glove box, it's a bit like the one below.

Yeesh! The underneath looks like pictures of the Titanic on the ocean floor! It must have got some serious salt spray during it's life.

Overall, it's cool to see another very early car. Thanks for posting the pictures.
