I had developed a typical teenage pie-in-the-sky visions for my pride and joy, seeing past its many faults to envision what the car could look like with "just a little work." The trouble was, I wanted perfection. So I started earning a little money.

I kept the car stashed rather than combating its immediate problems and getting it back in action. In my mind, the car deserved nothing less than a full-on rebuild At that point my thinking finally shifted to the here and now, and I formulated a new plan to make something happen soon. The revised philosophy was based on the notion that even with a limited budget, it should be possible to return a car to some sort of useful state--not necessarily daily-driver useful, but at least cruise-night useful.

I took some inspiration from a rat rod, with functionality the main motivator. Spend the money where it's most needed, reuse the decent parts. The ball was set in motion by tackling the car's worst feature.

The goal of this project is simple: I want a fast, Unique, RV hualer, hot rod.
