- 18 month restoration of my 1960 Metropolitan. I finished it in 2007. It was a 95% rust free Colorado car. It received a Gold Award last year at the Metropolitan Regional in Macungie Pa.

Thank you for the compliment. In 2010 I had the car judged by The Metropolitan Owners Club of North America (MOCNA). It won a Gold and scored 399 1/2 out of 400. The most points of any Met ever judged. I tried to get the car as close to the day it was new.
Undoubtedly, a masterpiece. Unfortunately, they don’t make them anymore.
Perfect restore. Awesome quality work. I especially liked seeing someone take the same care with the under carriage as they do with the rest of the body.
Probably looks better than when it was originally done due to better quality paint. You also stayed spot on with the colors.
Simply beautiful work.
VERY NICE REMINDS ME OF WHEN I RESTORED MY 1978 MERCURY GRAND MARQUE BROUGHAM BACK IN 1986,87 WHAT A JOB THAT WAS GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NASH.
My dad is a dealer and he bought a Nash met. The other day. He also bought a thing and a fierio the other day
That's the right way to restore. Good job!
I have a 59 b/w hdtp beautiful job on the restoration
That's interesting! In 1979 I bought a '56 Met convertible for my 12 year old son for the price of $50.00. It was a father / son project. He's now 46 years old and still owns the car. It's Sunburst Yellow and Snowberry White.
That's awesome! :)
Nice job. That's the metropolitan one I've seen.
Wow.
My dad brought home a 1961 Met Conv in 1970 ....The engine was disassembled in the trunk( kinda jammed in there with the lid up). I was 15, he said if I put it back on the road I had a car. One of many great things he did for me...spent many hours in library and learned about cars...had it going running and drove it my 2nd yr highschool...next year I bought a 64 Impala Super Sport but that's a different story.......
@JIMMYAD46 Thank you..........I'm sure that Grand Marque was a chore to do. It's a lot of work..........
Great Job, just starting my project and have been looking at to do a rotisserie, do you have any specs on what you used?
Any chance of getting a copy of your notes on restoration for this car?
Thank you for your intertest in the restoration of my '60 Met. Although I never took any notes, just many pictures, I did restore another Met after this one, a 1954 (first year) convertible which is in the following link with step by step notes and photos of the process. Some photos may not appear from Image Shack since I posted them, but many are there. Enjoy!

And that my friends proves the quality of classic engines. Not to mention now it cost an arm and a leg if you want to buy a project to do with your son. I wish I could find a $50 car now days. Now I get people saying "I can scrap it for more" Yeah but anyone who would rather see a car scrapped rather than someone else take care of it don't deserve to even own a car.
Yeah I have sold several cars for $100 just to watch them go to a better place. People are so scummy these days.
What does something like that cost to do.
YEP I WAS 24 THEN NOW IM 48 THOSE DAYS ARE OVER LOL.
I am getting ready to restore a 56 nash metropolitan and I am looking for a source for parts..can you help me
To bad you felt the need to use all the wipes and other toys your editing program had. The sign you are insecure about your video being boring is using every crayon in the box. It could have been an interesting video. At least you did not show how big (little) your crank is.
I have know idea what your post even means!!!! Sorry if you didn't like it!!!
