This is my second car and I've had it since 1983 when I bought it for my daily driver.  I parked my Boss Mustang during the winter months, so I wanted a cool car to drive year round.  It was a 1960 2-door Ranch Wagon and most people thought it was butt-ugly. As could be expected, after a few harsh Boston winters and a few too many parties during the summer on Cape Cod, the old Batmobile (as my buddies called it) was getting used-and-abused. I eventually had to park it in the early 90s due to a few dents and rust, but I always had thoughts of someday rebuilding it.  

Around '97 I had a great vision of chopping the top and grafting the doors and B-pillars from a '60 Starliner onto it. It's a long story, but after attempting the work myself, I quickly realized I was in way over my head and eventually brought the car to Extreme Rod & Custom in Portland Maine to finish the work.  As you can see - Extreme did an awesome job.  They finished the metal work on the body and suspension and gave it back to me in July 2005 so I could continue working on it myself and finish what I could do.  What you see here is the car as of March 2006 as I am prepapring to load it onto a trailer and bring it back to Extreme so they can complete the body & paint.  We plan to have the car at some national events this summer - so stay tuned!!
