I didn't show any of the "in progress" photos. Some would think I was insane for tackling all the rust-out. At 74 yrs old, this is likely my last car project. But then, never say never. :-) All the work, including the paint was done in the back yard in between bouts of weather and lazy-a$$. No garage.

Wow, that looks great!

That is awesome! All the little details reminds me of the decals when I used to build model helicopters and military vehicles

Love it! Hint: It'd look even more military with an Aspire swap and some knobby tires on the same style 13" or 14" steelies. Kinda like a Festy Jeep.

Say what?:shock:

I thought you were somewhere about TominMO's age!

Given your work on your festivas, if you want to make it your last one, that's Ok, you can work on mine!: :salute:

I agree. Local shooting buds suggest a ring mount on the roof sporting a 50 cal Ma Duce. Now that's a suggestion I like!

Thanks to all for all the flowers.

Yeah...that USMC Festiva was the coolest one at the STL Meet last weekend. Nice ride indeed Charlie!

At 74 yrs young and the work you did....wow, better start another Festy project....you've got time for several more cool ideas! :p
Your probably ornery enough to outlive most on here!
