Just a short note to say hello and that we just brought home another Poncho, and that for this build I will most likely be leaning on the wisdom and direction of you guys, if that is alright? I 'll attach a few pictures of it arriving home.
Welcome Dale from across the Northumberland Strait!
I suspect it's a "barn find"? Nice! Looks solid on top, what's it like below?

Thanks for the welcome gentlemen, well yes indeed it was a barn find, and I acquired the car from the son of the second owner, the first owner was his brother. The car has 44,144.4 miles showing. The original flat head 6 cylinder is in the car and by turning the fan it actually can turn over the crank. I really don't know where this project is going to turn, all that I can say is that this car is for my wife! I got that message clearly, and that is OK with me. I send picture as I go, by the way the floor is incredible, the only pans that require some attention is the rear left side , which I can still buy. I am excited about this one. We'll check in often.

Welcome! nice car
My Dad had a 1952 in 1959 Maroon 4 door with skirts and sunvisor I loved it (I was 10)
On Christmas day 1959 we stuffed it sideways into the right side of the large wooden bridge carrying traffic into Sackville N.B.
I saw the car later with some new parts (It dog tracked a bit)
Dad bought a Ford after that

Well, I hope the stuffing didn't hurt anyone, and that your memories didn't hurt your Christmas spirit.
After all, it's just metal.

Dale, a hardy welcome aboard from Milton, Ontario. I love hearing about another one saved and hopefully preserved. Dale, you have to give us more information on your car and of course.............. more photos. Good luck with the project. Cheers. George

Welcome from a fellow New Brunswicker, now resident in Whitecourt Alberta. Didn't think anything that old would survive the salty roads. Good luck with your build.
