Worst "BEFORE" photo

[Hoogah]

Picked up this idea from Art's comment on another thread about many cars being resurrected from a bad situation. Can't say that my Model A falls into that category, but I bet many of you have some daunting but inspiring "before" photos. Want to share yours?

I love these pictures, makes me feel better about what I started with on my 37 pick up.

Good idea for starting a new thread about this. It would also be interesting if the time lapse between before and after were added in the description. I have a friend with a 51 Hudson convertible that took him 16 years to complete... amazing.

As if I'm going to say NO! Love your progress, and your before is definitely the grungiest!

Looking back, I have absolutely no idea how I ever did this.

I was 13 when I bought the car and 21 years old when I finished it.

Never a good feeling when they 'implode' on the lift and fall into pieces...

 

[SeaSlugs]

wowza - and no - never good when an implosion happens. I learned with the rusty cab in my pics - dont open both doors at once...

I have done about 25 A,s. Some nice ones to start with. Most not so nice.
It was a good release from the pressure at work. Also done a 1929 Chev pickup, 1931 chev coupe , 1927, 1928 Dodge. Couple of Corvettes. and a 1928 Essex.
