Default Re: Anyone wanna tackle restoring this 57 convertible?

A guy in my area restored a 55 convert that he hauled to his house on flat bed trailer in two separate pieces, now it is in a museum up north, then another guy one county away has had this 55 convert for as long as I can remember, it used to sit next to a well traveled road and people worried him to death about it, and it was in good shape then, so he moved way back off the road, up a dirt road that looked like a logging road to a small mechanics garage, and pulled it in the weeds, and it has been there every since, what a shame!

There is a fellow here in Wisconsin named Freddie Olson that can make that car look like it just came off the showroom floor! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Not the convertible, but I would tackle restoring the 2 door Belair hartop sitting in the shed though! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

My dad bought a 56 Belair convertible with the continental kit on it, brand new in 1956 for $2,600. What I wouldn't give to still see my dad driving it today! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]
