I’m not sure why you’re responding to me that way. But yeah, you reap what you sow…now unbunch your undies and go visit the shop of your choice to ask them their opinion.

Yeah, but there is no way that doing any work on this LTD will increase the value beyond the money spent on it. That is often the case with restored or hot rod conversions. The OP will do it because he wants to. There’s a guy near my old office that has a bullet nose Studie that he raised and put 4WD drive on. He will never get his money out of it, but he had fun his own way.

The 1946-48 Nash 600 and the 1946-48 Nash Ambassador had the same body shell from the cowl on back, but the Nash 600 was a unibody and the Nash Ambassador rode on a frame. The unibody of the 600 was mounted on a frame for the Ambassador. The wheelbase was longer for the Ambassador to accommodate the longer block of the Ambassador 7 bearing inline OHV 6 as opposed to the 4 bearing flathead 6 of the 600 which was quite a bit shorter.
