The owner wants to drive this car. So we are repairing all of the mechanical problems and replacing the floor boards. The plan is to do the bodywork and paint this winter. This car took many long hour to straighten out. When it arrived it had no brakes, would not idle, wiring was in shambles, and the original wood floor was rotting away.

 

We rebuilt everything that had anything to do with the brakes, installed a dual point distributor w/ mechanical advance, upgraded the wiring to us an alternator and work on negative ground, and finally repaired the floor by installing metal pans underneath the replacement plywood floors.

 

Stay tuned for further repairs on this car in the future!!
