Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
Love the 58-59 Chevys.
That's not bad!  haha. Just kidding. That looks rough. Nothing time and money can't fix.

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
been doing some metal work on the grill, it was rusted out in the bottom. I started on the bad side got it almost done little more tacking and grinding. The other side it is much better, then on to the body work for it. It's not perfect but i have several hours in it and saveing some cash. It will be painted anyway so i figured i would try fixing it. Would help alot if i had gas on my welder but doing the best i can. Useing a square body scrap fender for patches

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
Thought i was done with the fender, but saw a small rusted place and decided to fix it. Removed the headlight cup and patched it and now it's done moving on.

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
Started on the driver door, rebuilt the hinges and started sheet metal repair. Ordered some patch panels for the bottom part. If i can fix this door the other should be a breeze.

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
Just wanted to say this before the second page goes by: Terribly, terribly sorry to hear of the loss of your first child. If there's a Heaven her immaculate soul will be there waiting for her mommy & daddy that loved her so. Sincere Condolences.
On a happier subject, that engine truly THREW that rod! Yikes. Curious why you took it apart? Curiosity or tentative plan to try to rebuild it?

Yea, I wanted to find out, ( be nosy ) and find out what the inside of the engine looked like. I plan on either a 250 inline 6 or maybe a v8, rather have the 6 I think with maybe some hot rod parts.

 By the way, since you said you have no experience with '50's vehicles, you know these trucks came with a 235 and not a 250, right? That was a later era engine. Personally if I were picking a straight six I'd pick the big sixties era 292. They can be made to run really strong and you could still dress one up as nicely. Looking forward to seeing your progress and on a personal note, I hope your prayers are answered and you have as many children as you want. Best, Dan

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
Thank you, I'm so ready to have some more kids. Yea, I have a good running 250 and a 350 sitting around the house so one will find its way in truck. I agree 350s are in everybody's truck seems like and I like being different. And sixes look so sweet.

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
Didn't see the post about your loss. So sorry, I don't know how I could handle the loss of one of my children.
Glad you have such strong faith in the Lord. Kim |

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
While i'm waiting on parts, i decided to try to fill some holes/thin spots on the headlight bezel. It coming ok so far i really need a smaller grinder to get in there. I'm trying to save all the original metal i can in the name of learning and to save money. Sometimes maybe more work than worth don't know.

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
I think half the fun of driving an old vehicle is the way they drive. When you put a V8 and auto you lose that. But each of us has their own idea of what their truck should be and what fits them.
