And after extensively straightening the chassis and axles, I put a spare body on top of the rare Superfast chassis. Then just a little chrome touch up on the wheels, good as new!

Lesney #29c-Denver Pumper Chassis Swap
Another Lesney Transitional chassis-swap to share today! This time, the rare #29c Denver Fire Pumper transitional. I bought this SUPER beat up one on ebay.

Lesney #59c-Ford Galaxie Fire Chief
Good evening folks! Here's tonight's restoration, an old Galaxie fire chief. The final piece took parts from 4 different cars! I'd gathered them over time, all in far too bad of a condition to display. I'd hoped to restore all of them eventually, but 3 of the 4 had missing pillars and bent roofs. Repairing that is beyond the scope of my ability. But they all had at least 1 good part to donate, so here is the finished product. Sorry, no before pics, I forgot to take them. But the other 3 cars should be appearing in my upcoming junkyard diorama!
