Well, it’s a 1952 Plymouth, not a 1951. But it’s mine, now.
It runs and there’s no major body work to be done. It needs a front bumper and a trunk lock, as well as two chrome strips along the bottom of the doors. The heater needs work.
Inside, the upholstery has all been redone. It needs new door panels and floor carpet. No rust to speak of. It’s got a 12 volt system and I need to add an electrical hookup for my trailer and a trailer hitch.
I ran the Gramps genealogy program in a virtual Ubuntu environment and imported an externally produced .ged file into the program. It seemed to work fine. The only problem is, I don’t know anything about how to use Gramps to produce links between entries. I’ll look at it again if I get the time.
