Thanks to everybody for enlightening me on the fate of that car. When I saw the pictures of the blue thing and then the black thing I didn't know if it was same car. I could only assume that people must be crazy enough to take things apart and put them back together for no reason. Somehow I think it was doing better when Paul had it.

Anyway, if my memory was better I could tell you more, but as I remember the car was a darkish/rusty red when Paul had it. It was in his garage and everybody wanted it but he wouldn't sell. The car was almost destroyed in a fire and was pushed outside with flames just about licking the wood.
After that it just sat in Paul's garage. The wood looked good, but woodies never capitivated me so I didn't pay much attention to it. It was just sitting there. Paul was a fun guy to talk to and the cars were more of a backdrop.
