Re: A Tale of Two Patricians

Moving forward, I worked on it now and then through the years as shown here doing something or other to the brakes. I wish I still had that 20s something body!
The blue door and fender were from a 1952 Patrician but after installing the door I realized that the hump was redesigned for 1954 so it wouldn't work for a 1954 Patrician. Still, it was on there until I later bought the parts car and finally here it is with the parts car's proper door installed.
Finally to the current time are the two Patricians being positioned into the workshop area and cleared off for work. The huge pile of empty boxes were actually on the roof of the parts car and have since been taken off but the interior of the other car is still full of parts that I have yet to move out as it was used to transport them when the cars and parts were moved to Oregon ten years ago! Other than a missing radiator, the parts car was complete but not does not have much of an interior left and what it does have is in shambles.
There is a photo of three of the doors from the parts car and from my friend's totaled 1954 Patrician, all with power windows, and another of the Gearstart Ultramatic that someday will go into my car but it needs a total rebuild so that's not in the cards any time soon.
I forgot to take a photo of them in the final position after getting them both spaced for work so will take one next time I'm there.
