This forum has been of great interest to me; as I am presently in the process of restoring and maintaining several cars in my care ( i.e. having fallen into my hands). This forum has helped me locate parts, solve restoration problems, motivated me to work on the cars, been a great source for leads; I could go on ......I think this forum fulfills the basic pretex of the AACA "Preserve Automotive History".

New to this forum, but have been a member of AACA many years. I am currently restoring a
1946 Hudson Commodore Eight convertible. I have owned this car for over thirty years, and kept putting other projects ahead of it It was in sad shape but very sound basically. I now have all frame work and suspension done. Most body work finished and back on the frame. I have managed to find most of the pot metal chrome and stainless, and plastic parts NOS over the years, so that helps immensly..Will try to post some pics when I get how figured out..

in this day and age it could be difficult to do an immaculate restoration and also have it as a driver.certain things just wont stand up to regular use. the 27 studebaker i'm starting on is not intended to be a show car ,things like wiring and controls,parts made of pot metal will have to be reworked in order for them to operate properly and i will do my best to make parts look like they belonged there from the beginning.best of luck to anybody that resurrects any vehicle 80 years old.beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[Amphicar BUYER]

Yes I am! I'm doing a nut/bolt restoration of another Amphicar. (a couple actually) I purchased this red car while in the hospital, got it paid for and delivered to a friends house in Wisconsin for storage until I was well enough to pick it up. I'm in the dismantling stage right now. Progress is slow as I have other irons in the fire. The red one is the "before" of the current project and the green one is the last nut/bolt resto I did.

well i just finished my first restoration a late 23 t doctors coupe it was a four year project,and now i'm working on a 29 a sport coupe.One thing I noticed about some of these posts is`people talking about restorations being show worthy,the AACA has one of the best non-competitive classes in DPC,so enjoy car enjoy the hobby
