Ah...don't know yet for sure about anything. Never drove one before, so I have no idea what to expect (except slow on slow) when it is re-assembled.

Now - today I went a little far - going to have to do some surgical metal work around the rear quarters then section it back together. Hated to do this, but you can't take the quarters off without doing a lot of other damage due to overlapped panels. You can't buy new ones either, so I have to save these.

So, time for some updates. I've been posting mostly at http://metropolitan.freeforums.org/

With that said - the future of the power plant...and more is not 100% determined, but at this moment this is NOT a G machine.

The car has come a long way - ended up cutting and replacing the floor, the rockers, the bottom of the A & B pillars...as well as the bottom of the actual hinge pillar point. Have also cut much of the other sheetmetal and removed teh rust.

I sprayed everything from the inside out with Herculiner and amd moving now to getting the outer body to bare metal and go back out from there.

Any more updates? I love these little Nash Metropolitans.....

I remember when HOT ROD did one with a 455 and a B&M Mini blower in it.
