Post subject:  Pictures of my other 6 cylinder
Sunday morning boredom set in so I thought i would share some pictures of my '37 Nash Lafayette.

Non slanted 6 cylinder although that may change MUHAHAHAHAHA :twisted:

Picked this up for dirt cheap $750 from a friend and stowed it at my moms.
It did not have a transmission when I got it but I found one and installed it, took out the front seat and dropped it in in like 1 hour :D

There is so much room working on a car like this I got spoiled- 8)

The engine is uber clean (no pics) I need to drop the gas tank for inspection before I fire her up.
The type of engine is called a "sealed monitor"
The exhaust outlet is just the exhaust pipe bolted right onto the side of the block and held with U-bolts. :shock:

Long term project anyways.

Cool. Are those wood running boards?

Yes and no lol.
They are a thick veneer (1/4") of wood covered with a heavy duty contact paper with a wood grain print. :roll:

I think the wood was an older add-on then later sum1 put the paper over that.
I'd like to keep the real wood part though, the paper will just serve to trap water underneath.

ummmmmm...no :) A friend had it stored for like 20 years in a garage (I never knew).
He was going to sell it to a mutual friend about 5 years ago but that fell through- when I was told that he was going to buy our friends Nash, I was like:
"Nash, Nash? what the hell does a 37 Nash look like?"
Fast forward 4 years... The property where it was stored sold, so for lack of a space to park it he gives it to the guy who was going to buy it. He, then stores it at a friends....guess what, that building gets sold and the car has to go once again LOL. He didn't want to deal with it.
The first time I saw it I loved it and made that clear. He tells me 750bux and you can have it, I couldn't get the money out of my wallet fast enough....its a keeper.[/i]

Somehow, I knew you were gonna say that. :wink: But you thought about it for the time it took to type out "ummmmmm...no"....there's still hope! :lol: :wink:

So.....How's the arm mending? You have full movement by now? :wink: I think I would have at least gotten a pulled muscle going for the hip pocket that fast. Ya did real good.
