Just a little rubbing compound and a lot of elbow grease.......it'll look like new.

 

I've got a slightly better hood if you need one.

 

My dad's a TV repair man, he's got this excellent set of tools............

 

Ran last year when parked! lol

Reminds me of the picture someone posted next to the train tracks a while back. who posted that one? I want to see it again. the 51-52 and was missing the grill teeth, truck was upside down if I remember right.

 

told ya not to let her drive it.

 

to quote a line from the old song Classified Advertisement by C.W. McCall....

...."you can fix her quick with an oil and a rag,
use a nail in the starter, I lost the key,
she uses a little out but outside of that...she's cherry"

No it's not for sale I am going to fix it up someday

 

"I can get more than that for scrap"

"They don't make them any more"

"My friend said we could it get running again in a Saturday for $200, or less"

"That's only surface rust"

"It ran great, when I parked it there 8 years ago"

"The grill alone is worth $500"

"I put new brakes, shoes, cylinders and drums, on it 25 years ago. They're like new"

"I had some one offer me $1000 for it and I turned him down"

"My dad bought it new in '49 (Hack, cough, wheeze, spit up some brown stuff, suck on an oxygen mask)....I'm going to restore it some day"

"At least it doesn't have a manure spreader auger for a grill, that's worth somethin' "

 

Nice "Progress Pic"......... A little more hammer and dolly and it'll be ready for primer.......

 

Tom, I know you can fix that cause YOU-DA-MAN
