Hey Tom W-I saw this and thought of you

(And not because of the door logos )

I came across this while doing a rat rod search. If it wasn't in Ontario I'd be on my way to check it out!

Tom has been talking about a 616/617 swap into an old pickup. This is a little bigger but the hard work has been done.

While I'd prefer an old flathead V8, I'd still love to get my hands on that thing!

I have far more "wants" than I could ever hope to afford or ever have room to park.
