Bumping this - lowered asking price to just $2000. Lost my storage space... if this isn't sold in the next week, I can't prevent it from going to...
1954 Chrysler New Yorker estate wagon project, virtually complete. Longtime dream project, ran out of funds and now losing storage space. The...
Bummer - it certainly looks and acts supple (creepy word, but accurate) but it could be a replacement I suppose. Thanks for weighing in, both of...
Just what the titles says. I have a '53 Town and Country with a perfect headliner, and was hoping to remove it intact - and put it into another...
Sold
Found a source for new lower arms, and the seller even spotted a bent kingpin support in my photo. Kudos to him, I have a bunch of NOS stuff...
Wow, thanks all! Will follow up if / when I have success, appreciate your advice and the leads.
Hey guys, I've looked around a bit for a replacement for a 54 Chrysler T&C front lower control arm (I think that's correct, is the plate that...
Nice projects here - Hotrodhell, looking forward to seeing how yours progresses, and Schiestey, your frame in primer looks great. Hope you've...
Really! Oh, I recognize that one. It's been for sale for a while, though it's been several months so it could've found a new owner by now. Some of...
Very cool! Good to see another solid one (well, 'cept maybe that floor). I like that black / white roof combo, too. Hopefully it wound up in a...
Sounds like a wonderful trio of Burbs you've had. Thanks for sharing the ups n' downs - they certainly are workhorses.
Thanks - I think you're correct that our '53's alligator-esque vinyl become a two-tone smooth version the following year. We prefer our tan gator...
Oh -- on another thread you mentioned thinking about enlarging your gas tank. Since our T&C will be a long distance tow vehicle, we plan on...
Would love to know how this went for you, NAES. We just discovered our entire frame was a goner - worse than your problems, so it meant finding a...
Sage advice from all three of you, thanks guys. I've already wasted 18 months going back and forth on this -- thankfully, I believe we've landed...
I apologize to the few who've subscribed to this thread for all the back and forth this project has taken. It's been a long road but we've finally...
Would love to hear an update on this project, Steve in N.C. What's join on with the wag?
So flippin' cool. Looks killer just the way it is. Enjoy that original paint and post more photos as soon as you get her top off!
Wonder whatever happened with this Nash - it was beautiful in its stock config... so what happened over the past 3 years, Lono?
If I videotape the whole thing, maybe it'll go quicker? ;)
Thanks Dane, not late at all. Our '54 trailer has a new axle, though not torsion - we're sticking with the original leaf spring setup. Disc brakes...
Thanks Rusty, appreciate that. I read quite a bit before signing onto the idea, after initially planning on something like your suggestion. Having...
Little update: I began the final push to strip the Durango donor vehicle this past weekend with a great, crusty ole' mechanic I found through a...
You likely did. It's one of three similarly painted buses owned by a small Christian group of hippies. Don't remember the name but there's lots of...
Oooh, great idea - that'd potentially save hundreds. Sounds like fun, link to your build thread if you have one. Oh, and I happen to have a...
Thanks - trying to keep the concept as straightforward as possible and not bite off more than we can (afford to) chew. Frame has been inspected:...
Nothing new - saving up cash for the big merge. The original frame is shot to hell, and the flathead 6 runs great but is underpowered for towing...
I believe you - sounds like you've invested a lot of time, cash and frustration in this process. And yet, I think if I keep my expectations...
