Hello! I need advice on a possible restoration project...
Greetings,
I'm brand new to the vehicle restoration world, but a certain classic car has caught my eye and I want to know how crazy you think I am for taking it on.
I am looking to purchase a 1941 Cadillac Hearse. It's several states away and I have been talking to the seller via email. He has sent several pictures and has been very kind to answer my questions, but I'll admit, I don't know if I'm asking the right ones.
I'm handy and I learn quick. I've rebuilt a couple of motorcycles, but never a car.
I know that this will be a long-term project and I know I'll put way more into it than I could ever get out, but I love the look of the car. I'm not looking to do a perfectly authentic, all original restoration on this hearse. I'd like to add my own touches here and there on the interior. I also don't know what I want to do about the engine, so one of my first questions to the forum is, "what engine(s) will fit into a 1941 Cadillac 75 comercial?"
So, please take a look at the pics and tell me what questions I should be asking!
As a hobby I keep ten beehives. My queen bees are now getting older and slowing down, so I ordered ten more queens from an apiarist. They arrived, but there were eleven arrived in their containers....
