I was recently bequeathed one very rusty shell ("hulk" might be the better term") of a Nash Metropolitan and my girlfriend, one of those artistic types, thought it might make cool yard art. So I excavated out a nice plateau, and we dragged the hulk (which had previously been cut into two pieces by the previous owner) over with the tractor. I then had to figure out a way to move the car shell up onto the area I'd cleared for it, and, well, you can see the results here:

I was thinking more along the lines of the Festivus "Feats of Strength".

I saved that Corvair from the Crusher about a year ago. A bunch of the glass was shot out and the interior is toast, but the body is mostly solid, its a 2 door post, and the drivetrain is all there (and its a 4 speed). I have visions of it being either a LeMons or vintage auto-x car someday...

What, no Broncos or short 4WD pickups needing a body nearby?
