351w V8 Escorch Wagon with Mustang parts

CrazyRobert · Dec 9, 2019

Getting closer to having the Escorch on the road. The car was originally my wife's grand father's car he purchased new. I ended up putting 300k on it before the engine died.
About that same time a 351w engine and AOD trans became available.
I still need to put some kind of shifter in it, and a few odds and ends like radiator overflow etc.

Real pics?

That picture looks photo shopped......

General karthief · Dec 10, 2019

I should have made that post clearer
we want to see actual pics of the project.

Been trying to get my dang profile photo set, looked everywhere and clicked on everything, but can't seem to get how to load it. I check some posts how to do it, but the web format changed and doesn't have the same options as what was shown. I'm it's something too simple and I'm just missing it. Any help would be appreciated.

Photo is of the actual car but I had it enhance for printing up on some T-shirts.

Finished welding in the passenger side tub, sealed it, and sprayed some primer on it tonight. Driver's side tub next.

Profile photo has to be approved by the janitor, submit it and wait. Don't take long.
lets see what the rest of the car looks like.

That's really cool. I've always thought it would be nice to have a tricked out wagon just for s and giggles. Like it.

Prepping the driver's side mini tub for installation. The slit is to open up the ark to get it to fit better around the 315/45-17s. Tried to pull up a more resent overall photo of the car put together.

Ok, you're teasing us. Or you are really busy polishing your wheel tubs, that's not a bad thing.

CrazyRobert · Dec 12, 2019

Just busy. Need to move the car from a friend's property that he let me use while building the car. I have most of the build photos on a link to a public facebook photo album. The link is in my profile. Here's front.

Did you do all the work?

CrazyRobert · Dec 13, 2019

ergo statuo tibi pecuniam non, lol.
Yep. I built pretty much all of it.

Olivethefet · Dec 13, 2019

Thats really cool!

General karthief · Dec 13, 2019

I disagree.
that is exceptionally cool!

CrazyRobert · Dec 13, 2019

Thanks guys! Too kind. Too kind. I did some shop classes as a kid and built some crazy stuff, but as the story goes, married then kids, lots of jobs and work, and didn't do any fabrication forever. Then the kids are leaving home, and you figure out that all the jobs that you busted your butt at, never really meant much in the end. So just made a decision to build something, as though I only had one shot to do one project car. When you do that, then nothing matters. Lack of money, lack of time, serious lack of skills lol. None of that, becomes a factor anymore. I can tell you I didn't know how to make all that stuff before I got started. I just knew things we needed for the build, and there was like zero funds to buy the stuff.
Well, this post got way messed up introspective. Holy cow!
Along the way I just kept thinking about wanting to share something that at least one other person would say --> That's cool.
Thanks guys, you made it worth it!
Okay done posting sappy a$$ sh**.
