I feel kind of funny, posting this here, but some members have expressed a liking for the older stuff too.
I brought this back from Casper WY several years ago with big plans. This is original paint, except for the roof, that the PO painted black to preserve and "improve" the appearance. He said there was no paint left on the roof. There are 2 small rust holes behind the rear tires and needs a floor patch panel by the right door. The rest of the car is as made. I dismantled it with hand tools and only had to fight a couple rusty bolts with my electromagnetic heater.
I removed, and sold, the entire drivetrain. It now has a high performance 292 that was a fresh build several years ago now too. The trans is a high performance TH350 that was in my '38 coupe. It shifts very firmly under WOT. Rear axle is a 1955 open driveline with 3.73 posi. I have a number of pieces of the side trim to replace the damaged ones. I have a new FRONT mount aluminum radiator and electric fan set up. Being front mount, like the tri-fives, allows the room for the larger engine without crowding. I also have a disc brake straight axle, I was going to install, and an S10 5 speed trans. I have an under dash mount set of pedals from a '55 Chev to adapt in with the 5 speed.
I have left and right spare doors, in color, and a right front fender, that has been sanded down and is now in surface rust. The original fender had a deep crease that I removed most of, but still needs ironing to be good.
Everything not on the car in the pics is in the interior or trunk.
I have a clear, clean MN title in my name...no bonding or chasing down previous, sometimes dead, owners or family for legal ownership.
I have, and can get, more pics to send via email to interested parties.
