My 1942 WC-54's Debut

Post by Greg Alexander »

Greetings All:

My restoration of the 1942 WC-54 Ambulance is finally completed.
Two years of spending every free minute of my life and every free dollar in the household budget has been worth the effort.
Even the wife agrees. :shock:

Here is a link to a web page I put together. I plan on putting together a more comprehensive page that will describe in more detail all of the steps taken during the restoration. This is more of a debut page. There is a funny presentation that I put together at the top of the page. Click on it and it will download. This message was put together for the benefit of a friend of mine (Mike) He was a great help in answering a multitude of questions, but he has razzed me for the last two years saying that the ambulance doesn't even exist and it was a figment of my imagination.

Thanks to all of you on this board that helped with parts, advice, and input.
I don't know how on earth people were able to restore these vehicles prior to the internet.
