    Never too late !!

    I've owned a 57 150 2 door since 1970. Driven until 1982 - and then sat & rusted until I retired in 2013 and had more spare time. By that time, my ol' buddy was more rust than anything else. Got a 57 210 2 -door in AR and started a body off resto-mod. My wife said she'd like to ride in it before she dies - I'm trying !!

    Welcome to the site Jerry! My dad said he wanted a ride in my Nomad before he died and I always thought that would happen...unfortunately I didn't make it. I lost him two years ago this past Wednesday. That's the biggest regret I have with my project.

    Do things really rust that bad in TX? Got any pics of your project?

    Jerry keep at it and it will happen. My story is very much like your's and I got to drive it about 3 years ago. Still working out some bugs but do get to drive it. Well worth the effort.
