I got my 422 the beginning of Jan this year. I live in Phoenix. The car was in New York.
My wife said that she can't believe I paid all that money, she said "looks to me like a pile of rust".
OH that hurt!!!

It is now completely apart, I've been working on it like crazy. Have all the wood finally completed,
frame is powder coated, front end all cleaned and painted and back on frame, diff. is cleaned painted
and back on frame, need seals to complete. Had new splash aprons made. The body is rusted out in
areas at the bottom, and will take some work to make it good as new.

Thanks for your pictures. I love the 29 Nash. I had a coupe when in High School way back around 1957.
Have had a soft spot in my heart all these years. I was looking for a coupe when I ran across this
conv. It is still going to be a lot of work, but I feel like I at least have my arms around it, it
was overwhelming at first. The wood work kept the neighborhood full of saw dust for months. Becky
(my other half) asked how long she was going to have to hear the scream of my table saw when cutting that ton of ash.

I have some pictures attached. One shows the car came off the truck, then the completed wood work, and
finally what it looks like now.

It's missing some of the top parts, like the Landau Irons and hop hinges, etc. So if you hear of some
422 parts someplace please let me know.
