are they worth it?

I found 2 54's today, one is mostly complete with the bed, not falling apart but restorable for $1500 and the other a 3600 for $1000 not seen yet but told it is in even better shape than first one but it has no bed. are they worth it or not?

Re: are they worth it?

I bought my '54 3600 16 years ago for $1200. It was complete and it ran. There are many small differences in the '54 as I have found. I love them. My mom is doing one too. I say yes!

Look at this thread:

It's cheaper to buy them together than to piece them together.

Re: are they worth it?

Very very true..........I know because I have fallen into the trap of "I'll start out with a cab and find the rest of the parts". That will make a budget project get out of hand before you know it.
