Here's my new project, 1951 Chieftain 2-door. I plan to make this my daily driver, mechanically sound and safe for my family. Cosmetically I'm planning to rehab the interior and leave the outside as-is. Brakes, motor, body are generally OK. Hydramatic shifts through the first three gears OK, though it makes a lot more interesting noises than I think it probably should. I haven't driven it fast. Carb needs a rebuild. I'm working on some vapor lock or fuel supply issue(s) at the moment. Interior is pretty thrashed.
