After experiencing the "crumple zone" effect with my Civic, I decided to go with a tank; hence, the HonkyMobile. It is a '76 Wagoneer, previously owned by a farmer in Nebraska. The paint job isn't bad (at a distance of a half mile) and the rusted-out hole near the tailpipe has been patched (with a cut up and tack-welded Folger's Coffee can); not only that, at some point the small windows for the various gauges had to be replaced (small tin brackets and sheet metal screws hold the glass plates in place). Next summer, my main car project is going to be body work and other preparations for a new paint job.

Juun.
