VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
My grandfather purchased this from a gentleman in Portland, IN. He drove it to his barn, where it has been sitting for around 3 years.

One of the previous owners had sprayed the inside of the rear quarter panels with transmission fluid, so they are in great shape.

Currently, the fenders are off and the engine is apart. I just purchased a 1956 Clipper parts car with a standard transmission, and will putting the transmission from that vehicle into mine.

The interior is in pretty good shape. Other than rocker panels and front fenders, the rest of the car will only need repainted.
