They just keep falling out of the sky. This time a 56 T-1 coupe, but only off road for 18 years this time.
Got a blind call from the lady who owns it. Not real clear on all the details yet, but went in for a floor repair, that turned into a full restoration 15 years ago. Most of the repair and paint interior is finished, just needs being put back together, and then made road worthy.
The shop owner who has been working on it since the “Chinese invented arithmetic”, gave up and retired. I have not looked at it yet but from the phone calls should not be impossible. It will probably need all the stuff we just did on the 65SC,. Then engine brakes, carbs, fuel system. Hard to know now until we get into it, has not had a battery in 15 years. We will install a Vintage Trader LED lamp kit and headlight set.
Will post more as we determine what it takes. But at lease I will have a project for a while.
