More beautiful woodwork from David Martin

Brock,

 

I see you have the car pictures posted on your website Beautiful Woodworking (very nice site, by the way) so I thought i'd provide a few details about it. It is a 1942 Chrysler Town & Country wagon, commonly known as a Barrelback. These were only made in 1941 & 42, with 42 being a short production year due to the war. The 41s are rare, but the 42s are even more so, and only about half a dozen are known to have survived. I have about 11 months into it so far and will be working on it for most of the rest of this year. I only do the wood work, others take care of the chassis, sheet metal, paint. upholstery, etc... This project will probably be about three years total.

 

I would be glad to keep you updated on the progress if you would like. I have also included a few pictures of some of the other things I have built, you don't see too many of these around anymore.

 

If you are ever in the neighborhood, stop by the shop and have a look around. It's not much, just me and the mice, but you would be welcome just the same.

 

Cheers,

 

David Martin
