For xmas my Grandpa and Dad gave me my Greatgrandfathers 1950 Champion Sedan. I have been reading this forum for months and finally picked my car up out of storage 4 days ago. I have big plans, first of which is getting all the little things done to get it running.
I've already ordered all new stuff for a tune up, a new wiring harness, new wipers, all 3 books (body, chassis, & shop manual), I've been sanding away the surface rust, ordered some por-15 to go to town on the frame, engine compartment and trunk (basically no rust in these areas).
The only parts (that I know of) that I'm missing are the side mirrors, tail lights, and an antena. As soon as I have it running I'm going to get the interior done and the rest I want to do myself (even if the body/paint don't turn out perfect, I want to take a stab at it)
Sorry to ramble on, I'm just excited...
One thing I really want are some nice rims, has anyone had luck in finding some for a 4x4 bolt pattern?
