1956 Oval. Just got it for $4500.
came with new pans.
Came with deck lid.
Motor dead
Trans unknown.
Emergency brakes works.
My goal is a lower end townie motor used or one of my extras.
New wiring.
Brakes, pads, lines. clean tank,
Weld in floor.
Replace seats with anything with butt holders.
My goal is not to spend $20K
All I want is a sticker wagon rattle can paint job.
Something to participate in picnics with minimum spent money.
I will cut doors out of Masonite and cover with tie die sheets from Amazon.
Might even keep rear seats out for a time.
Hay I have $$$$ stupid expensive splits but what I really want is something to take to the liquor store and the bar on week ends, spark up conversations with people.
Im literally going to just hammer out the hood and bondo and grind smooth.
This is what we did in high school why should I care,
Heat would be nice but a hair dryer works.
Please no hate, I know I spell like a 50 year old stoner.

Tracked down the old owner he said he got old and it got parked and used to totally work but someone took the deck lid.
Tans works and he has title but this was decades ago. |

right, the hood has 150 little dents and I dont want to buy anything besides a motor and stuff right now.
I wil have to read up on how to home fix a hood, guessing its a 56 hood.
the deck lid was stolen and I have a 60's lid. |
