My newest project, a '54 Commander Regal Conestoga wagon. Was hoping it was untouched, after a conversation with a precious owner I found it was partially restored about 20 years ago and once took first place in a national car show. Former owners are Ira Schreiber (INebraska) and James Richter (Iowa) if anyone knew them . Both were involved with SDC.
Right now I'm going through the usual steps of waking the dead (it's been in storage for at least 15 years). Fuel tank has been replaced with a stainless one but NO FILLER NECK (!)
Finally got the fuel pump pumping today but no gas getting to the manifold, so some carb work to do. Fortunately I have an extra WW from a '62 GT Hawk ( which now has to be sold because I have a one car garage!).
