About The Donor Car
From Rollie Langston on 6/13/2020
According to reports at the time, and as best I can remember, the car was being driven by a soldier from nearby Ft Leonard Wood at the time they ran it off the road at speed.
Despite its appearance, most of what I needed was not damaged. The car only had 2444 miles on it. Replaced the fan and had radiator recored. The transmission top cover was broken and the shift selector rods were bent. I disassembled the cover, straightened the shift rods and we had the cover heliarc welded (see photos). Took a bit of fiddling for it to work smoothly, but was good as new. Sold front disc brakes off car for $100 but used most everything else.
