Topic: 53 Nash Metropolitan build...
The saga starts. I'll be posting here with pictures as the build gets underway. The first picture of the rusty carcass will appear soon... then onward and upward FTW!

Cool, my mother had one years ago and later I bought a '55 for just $250 and always intended to restore it but I had other projects and sold it because I lost my storage. It was a rare one too, a factory late-build '55 with the 1500 engine used in the '56+ cars (there were a few hundred cross-over cars built because they ran out of engines before they ran out of chassis). It will be very interesting to see how this build goes, good luck!
I have a friend in the north-east bay with a huge parts stash of Metros, I'll get a look at the pile and see if there is anything salvageable.
She loves the Lemons idea so parts would probably be more than fair/free.
allow me to inject some tetanus fear
oh we could use a cheap hood for it
Looks like you guys have your work cut out for you. I cant wait to see the progress in person on feb 13th.
orginal adverts werent too kind
damm clint you are possessed...... I really hope your tetanus is current....WOW
Wow, that's a lot rustier than the one I had. Hope there's something strong enough to attach the cage to!
Glad it isnt completely rusted out LOL
Motor looks ready to run!
run in a freezer maybe that slug is rock solid siezed, the entire crankcase was full of a chunky oil water mold mix, i wish i could hae gotten it running, it would be fun to seee the power it made and then we could ghetto boost it to death!
I remember riding in the package tray behind the seats in one my 6'6" uncle owned. I was probably 5 years old.
That short wheelbase isn't going to handle very well.

Isn't that sort of missing the point of this exercise?
What is this? The Metro-Gnome 3.0? Finally another Metro enters Lemons!!!!!
Looks nice.
