Wes was nice enough to hook Taylor up with a roller project. He drove down to Mendocino to get it about 3 weeks ago. We finally have it in a place we can work on it and started the clean up.
The backstory is that Wes got it in Oakland where it had sat behind a rib joint for some time. Apparently, some rodents made a home in the air box. They also acquired a taste for ribs. It appears the brought a few back with them. They were there for some time, and urinated eating the bulkhead out. The hell hole and floorboards look good. The pan is intact and looks good. He has a bunch of work ahead of him, but it will get restored back to stock ivory white. Attached thumbnail(s)
