1950 Burb help wanted

[opc patrick]

After lurking for a year... I am ready to start working/ posting.

I have always wanted to build a hot rod or rebuild a classic car, but it turns out I don't have any real car knowledge, but I am not one to let that get in the way. I am a computer nerd who ended up in the electric industry.

A year ago I went on a search for a 1956 nomad... Turns out I don't have nomad money. I then did some soul searching and came up with a 47 to 53 burb. After some Craig's list searching I found one for sale 20 miles from my house in Red Oak Tx. Yea! I was able to drive it home... after stopping at a car wash to refill the radiator and cool down the engine.

It looked in better shape than it really was. The PO had done some things that may not have been the best choice for this girl. The Camaro clip was welded in, but it looks like it was done in the dark, like old battery cables stuck between the two frames.

I have bought a frame from someone doing an s10 conversion and I am starting to work on it. I am going to need help..... Lots and lots of help.

A photo is worth a thousand words...so here we go..
