In about 1966 I built my first "custom" vehicle when I grafted a BSA Bantam engine into a Jawa frame. The engine for the Jawa needed parts that were as hard to get as they are now and the BSA engine worked but was without a frame. A cut, slice and some welds and I was riding. The joys of living in a small town, no Police and, as long as you didn't bother anyone, they let you be.
  • David "Woodsy" Wood hammer welds a chopped roof on a 1949 Ford.
  • Although the Olds was in pretty good shape, it had been a driver car through the '70s.
  • It definitely endured some bruises over the years.
