Default Re: hoky fixs

I bought a ‘29 ccpu in 1965 where the previous owner must have had stock in a baling wire company. The doors, tail light, and tail gate were all held on, held together, or held closed with wire. The brake light switch was missing, and the p.o. explained that when he was stopping he would turn on the lights so it would look like the brake light was coming on. But the sheet metal was good and it ran pretty well and I only paid $350 for it. My cousin and I (19 and immortal) cut around all summer in it, as is/was, even taking an 800-mile round trip from Portland, OR to Eureka, CA. Sold it in the same condition at the end of summer for $450, which I used for tuition.
