    Older Nash's can be made to look real awesome, as yours sure does !
    I like it, but am a bit prejudiced, as my first car at (14) years old was a 1940 Nash, then also had a 1947 Nash.
    I chose back then (in about 1961) to radius the rear wheel openings on the '47, but like yours a lot..
    Good build..

    I live in water-trouble vankiva near Hässleholm
     
  23. Your right about thé rear fenders. If U look on thé wall in my garage U see orginal fenders. It has bigger Wheel openings.
    U know thé nash-history;)

    I'm back.

    need to take 2 weeks free from work so I can fix the car.
    I bought a US military diesel/gas (petrolium) heater from canada. It starts to get cold now.
    I drilled a hole out to exaust
    A 24v battery charger is the power.
    just need +10°C inside. If it's -15°C does it feel like summer inside.

    More pics after cristmas......
