"Hard to Find" 1957 Star Chief Convertible, ow in the Re-assembly and Buyer Personel Decision stages, hat I have protected from the weather and rain for the past 29 years. Buyer has the freedomto determine colors, e-use of old parts or buy new, nd the quality of re-assembly. Parts like engine, utomatic transmission, nd differential have not had a start-up since shop testing and re-assembly. The 347 enginehas a Crane 400 H.O. Cam installed and changes to the heads to accomidate. Many new and extra collected parts share boxes with the original cam. Front floors have been replaced leaving metal places to be finished. Purchase parts needed include 2 Convertible Top Cylinders, op hydraulic pump and hoses. and door panels. The seats are the original with a small tear or two.
Some rust thru in the expected places due to previous exposure to the elements. Extra repair metal panelsfor the doors comes in a box with otherparts. Body metal skin was treated with OSPHO and Self -Etching Primer after removal of old finish.The Donor Parts Car should be a good supply source for many items and metal when you let your body-man do his thing. It should also be an example for "Monkey see, onkey do" mechanics especially under the hood.
If not evident, ou will be buying 2 cars andthe removed parts, uch as bumpers, enders, ood, eats, nd the remaining parts that will be needed forre-installationto finish the convertible except the needed Top parts mentioned above. This might be a consideration in figuring yourshipping plans.
I would really like to see pictures of it when you get it finished. If more detail is needed, all 813-716-6316 during daylight hours.
