I bought my 59 which was a basket case about 10 years ago.....I jumped right in and started. I bought a parts car and replaced one quarter panel. I welded in new floors and the trunk floor from the parts car. I had the seats recovered, bumpers rechromed and rounded up all the parts and wetherstrips I would need. The engine had some problems and finally got it running but there is a major oil leak. I believe the cam plug in the back of the engine is leaking or something similar. I need to pull either the engine or the trans to see. Suddenly the project went stale and I found a 66 Sfire that I restored and am enjoying. So my 59 waits still......someday soon I hope to resume the project.
