1954 OVAL
I finally got 1 of my 54 ovals home on the weekend, this is 1 of 2 i purchased of a fella i know who does not have the time to finnish it, i actually
done a sandblasted full body off on rotiserie resto on this car for the previous owner over 10 years ago,the resto took approx 2 years,it sat
untouched for 10 years in his shed, the previous owner bought heaps of gear for it over the years but never assembled it.
Purchase included:
all new upholstered interior except carpet
all new rubbers
new running boards with new wide strips
new chrome bumpers
new heart t/light lenses
powdecoated seat frames, column, gearstick etc
spare reco gearbox
spare low klm 54 engine
spare 54 car
Work still needed:
the body was recently lifted back on, i need to remove it and paint the pan
the previous owner had a heap of blankets covering it, unfortunately a couple of those blankets must have been used to mop up a liquid of some sort
which has started eating into the paint a little on half the roof and rear apron so i will try to denib it and polish it out but not sure if its too
late, i may need to paint the roof again...BUGGER!

i ned to extend my front deck out first and build in under it for more garage space, once that is done i will have the space to lift the body back off
and finish it, it will remain 100% stock standard.
