Nick's 1948 C8 convertible project
I posted pictures of my son, Nick's 1948 C8 convertible project from when it was delivered and during and after 3 days work by Ken Schulte, Jim Barnes and myself. This is one he purchased on Ebay last month.

HEY! I was bidding on that.
Great job for a 3 day "filet". Next thing you
know you'll tell us that you haven't even twisted a bolt off yet. Sure does
look sweet and I think you done good with the auction. Is it half as clean as
it looks? Sure hope you'll keep us informed on the progress. Good to know
its found a GOOD home.
Now get back out there and bust a knuckle or something...

The Seahawks should feel as fresh as they did in pre-season. How hard of a schedule can you have to play Arizona, San Francisco, and St Louis twice each? Plus Houston and Green Bay?

Wow. It would appear that bad boy is in much better shape than mine was. Great buy! And a 48 to boot. Very cool. Looking forward to seeing your progress. I am working so much I barely see mine :-( Suffering from seperation anxiety. Glad it found a good home.0

Seriously - she looks pretty good and I've heard those 48's CV's are hard to come by.
Doesn't look like you have anywhere near the rustola problems I had - great buy.
It will be fun to watch the progress.0 -
Nice ragtop Nick! Look forward to seeing your progress.

Now that Fall is here Ken and I are back to work on Nick's car. Progress report: All sheetmetal is straightened, etching primer, sanded and primed with high build primer and ready for sanding with 400 paper, new wiring harness was delivered from Rhode Island, most of chrome is in plating shop, lacquer paint will be ordered next weeek and interior goes to upholstery shop in 2 weeks.
We are on hold until after Thanksgiving, then back at it. Ken says we will might be done before Auburn National.0 -
