I have a '54 Superior hearse that has no front end and I want to turn it into a'56 Cad wagon. I know the '54 '55 '56 commercial chassis cars had no "step" in
the body side so I will have to cut my standard fenders to match.Will the hood, fenders and bumpers bolt up? This car needs extensive metal work..that is why I am considering this.

Pat, I have the impression that it will go. The cowl is identical; the hood, fender, etc. are just bolt-on. The sole question I have is for the hood's hinges which are different in '56 than '54-55.
