Hello Everyone my name is Chris and this is my very first post to the Forum. I have found a 1954 Skyliner in my area for sale that needs restored. The car is partially disassembled and will need a lot of work. The frame appears to be rusty but solid, the floors look decent maybe a couple small patches. The spare tire well has a hole, the rockers are shot and the fenders and quarters are littered with holes, the Chrome needs replated or replaced and the interior is there but completely shot. My biggest question is what is this thing worth in its current condition? I'm not sure if it has the original motor, as it has thunderbird special valve covers on it. The car is green, with a white and green interior. V8- three speed, not sure of any options. I due have a photo of the pillar plate for reference. They also have two tops for the car, the original which is still in place and an extra. I know this will take me a very long time and a lot of money to complete myself, I like the car because it is different. Any input would be greatly appreciated, also any chrome trim on the dash anyone make that, or do I have to have all of my pieces replated?
