Lloyd is home.

[mac762]

I know I've done a lot of talking about my Lloyd. It is finally home instead of in uncertain storage. That sum bitch is a lot lighter and smaller than I imagined. I am undecided on either a small Chev or a big Ponyac. Either way will prolly kill me.
I'll try and get some pics up and you guys that are unfamiliar as to what a Lloyd is can worry for me.
It's gonna be fun.

Looks to me like you will need a can opener to get in and out of one of these things.

I'll prolly fit in alright, jaws of life will get me out. Lol The one I have was a infamous street racer around here in the 60's. It had the full running gear and cut down frame out of a 63 Imp SS. I think it was a 327 and a 3 speed standard. It was a legend around these parts. I tracked it down after hearing countless stories about it during my youth. I lucked into it being in my Uncle's yard. I got it for $50 in trade.
I'll try and get some pics of it posted here. It's getting a transverse leaf spring front axle and a ladder bar rear. If I die in it I'll die happy. No shit.
I have a line on a big Pontiac, or maybe I'll put the 81's 360 in it when I upgrade. I doubt the body even weighs 400 pounds. Four hung over guys carried it all the way across my Mom's yard and put it on 4 old tires.
PS I am a big som bitch at 6 foot tall and 280 pounds. I am claustraphobic ta' boot.
PSS The one I have is more of a coupe than the one pictured. But very similar besides. I am very excited about this project.

I've got a lot of body work to do. Practice makes perfect.

Up here in The Great White North we call them situps!

Sorry Dude - couldn't resist throwing that one out.
PS - My own mother thinks I am an a**hole!!!!

Mac, be careful in those short-wheelbase cars, they are a handful. One of my friend's dad died in a Vega Wagon and it looks like a Cadillac Hearse compared to that Lloyd. Make sure you put a good cage in it!!!

Can't wait to see more of it. I think I have only seen that one picture of it in the weeds.

Keep us posted.

For some reason this puter' is not letting me answer any replies.

Here is the one in the weeds out at our shop that belongs to a lurker here. I know another floater that wants it, but I can't get the guy to give a price...

Who wants the Lloyd? That one is pretty complete. What did they originally have for an engine? How do you open the trunk? I didn't get a chance to look at the Lloyd much after ripping it from the weeds that hid it so well. I was in a hurry to return the borrowed trailer, and find the come a longs that fell off along the way.
Hey ChevSS, I had a lot of smart azz answers for you when it wouldn't let me post. But the short version is I'm so big because we have a longer growing season down here in the US. Or because I spend all my money on food, liquor and cars.....the rest I just waste. Plus I'm lazy as hell. Lol
Have a good one guys, I have to toast to a dead pet. One of my favorite Pigeons. I'll miss her.
