NEW MEMBERS PROJECT....1957 Cardinal
Posted: Sun Mar 13, 2011 6:41 pm
I went by a buddies house today to check out his new project. While it has some issues...it's a great starting place. There was minimal water damage visible and the beauty of how a Cardinal is put together that the side edges were wrapped with the top skin so it helps to minimize water issues. There are still some that will need to be tended to.
The door is really solid. The body could use a piece or 2 of skin material, but it's the 4" break so it won't be an issue. Lower front and rear needs some structural stuff...but I think he can get by with a cosmetic do-over on the interior. All glass is good, but all need to be removed and new butyl installed, same with the trim.
When he signs up, please give him a warm welcome as I'm sure you all will.....I think he'll be a great guy to have in the group. I've camped with them before. I'm posting these since he hasn't figured out the pic thing yet. I'll get him squared away. Doug
