Another New Guy here

Just found this site. Looks like I can get a lot of questions answered here. I hope so because I'm planning on building a 1951 S-88 as my retirement cruiser and I do have a lot of questions.

I had a stock "51" for a lot of years but had to sell it. Now I still have a boat load of NOS and NORS stuff in my attic that is screaming to be used.

Thanks

Yes, I'm finding out that finding another buildable "51" or even "52" is a challenge.
I probably won't use most of the mechanical parts but I do have a lot of body parts that are new.

I have always found this site to be a good source of listings for available rides. Note, my recommendation of the site relates only to availability. I find the prices to be high.

Welcome!

I definitely agree that having an attic full of parts is a prefect excuse for buying a car .
