Resurrecting Grandpa's Dinosaur - a rebuild story. (1963 Chrysler Imperial) by topdawag_mc4

3 minute(s) of a 137 minute read

The rust on the floors is pretty bad, but it honestly doesn't look as bad in person as it does in the pictures. I'd consider it an opportunity, though, as I'm anxious to see how the new flooring is going to look.

If anyone has any suggestions on what they want to see in the videos, let me know and we'll try to include it - I'm the one behind the camera.

We'll be working on the car sunday, so be looking for an update then.

Until then, a picture of Tommy's '70 Mach 1 built at the shop we're working at, shot at the shop we're working at:

And the shop dog 

Hey guys, I told you we were looking for a creative way to raise funds for this project. We are both broke musicians (see my signature) who live off day to day income from odd jobs, such as a photography gig here, or a yard cleaning there. That's why we have little to no money to put towards this project.

We are only purchasing the bare essentials needed to make this car run, and to make it safe. This includes brakes, tires, distributor, and miscellaneous things such as fluids.

So we are asking for your help. If you would like to donate to help us get this car on the road, we would be incredibly grateful. If you donate, you'll have a spot on the trunklid of the car for your name, and town (if you would like). The bigger the donation, the bigger your name. We'll also send you a sticker with a graphic of the car and "I built the dinosaur," because truthfully, if you donate, you'll be just as much a part of this project as we are. Tommy explains more in the video below, but here is the link to follow to donate:

Huh, how about that. I surely didn't know. 

I had also read that about the demo derby. Hopefully the same is true of this one, considering how long it has been sitting.
