I picked up my 51 chieftain in Aug of 07. It came home on a trailer, with the brake pedal stuck on the floor. the stright 8 ran but not well. At first I was going to gut it out and turn it in to a hot rod. After looking the car over a little better after i got it home, and findind out most of the car was still intacked. I just wanted to see it running down the road as is was. After e-baying my brains out, and many hours of work I had it running by Oct and took her to a local car meet just before Hollowen.
