This beater was submitted by Skip Peralta and son Lucas. Peralta says that the history of the car is a little ‘‘hazy’’ but that it sat and rusted in a Lopez field for 20 years before being taken on by them. “Just had to put flames on it,” says Peralta, adding that Lucas has done half the work on the vehicle. “The doors stay shut with bungee cords, windows don’t roll down, but drives really sweet.”
