I take it you meant re-trucked. If so, that is a very expensive and time consuming task that only a few contract shops can undertake on passenger cars. It's really starting to sound like you may have a car that is only good for scrap. John Chambers
Pacific Ocean Well someone else bought the car. I was going to inspect it last week when the owner said someone else has already sent a deposit It must be fate or something. There is another car there the Pacific Ocean. It is a much cleaner car and should be able to be made Amtrak ready in no time. It is a 1950 Budd car that ran on Union Pacific. My company Ranma Enterprises LLC is all ready to purchase the car. Pending an inspection by myself and a neutral 3rd party person. Once again, I have military duty coming up so it will have to wait till next weekend.
So, Ranma, how does the story end? Did you end up buying a passenger car? If so, please share details. Tony
