That's a fine looking stable of cars that you have there. Good taste is not aquired , you either have or you don't , and you have it !

 

Thanks for the kind words. I've been lucky in life with my choices of cars and how I do them. They're not everyone's cup of tea but that's what makes the world go 'round. I believe you and I are buddies on HUB Garage as well. I admire your work also........Mike

 

that wasnt a classified ad i liked your car and have a gold mine of 59 elco stuff since u wanna get all political and delete my post to you simply because i can appricieate a fine 59... and it was a offer if you needed something i wasnt trying to sell something... anyways nice car forget my offer and if you ever need something i would rather throw it in the trash.. than sell it somebody like you so much for brothers in the car hobby any more everyone out 4 a buck

 

Great looking '59 Elky...one of my all time favorite body styles.

WOW!... just found this thread...and I agree "What's not to like"...don't see many of these around and yours is absolutely beautiful....outstanding job...one of the cleanest and coolest El Camino's I've ever seen..."Less is More".. to perfection!

 

Dude, its gorgeous. Just my kind of style.

 

Thanks "hotrd32". I am, and have always been, a firm believer that "less is more" with all of my cars...............Mike

 

curious to see before pictures of this beaut. Only one thing i would do to this is put a nice set of blackwall firestone piecrust bias plies.

 

i just wet my pants!!! fine 59

 

Looks great. Super clean and all business.

 

Nice!! A 59 El Camino is one of those on my bucket list....

 

Mr. Farris, I put pics of the A/C setup on my thread.

 

I really love the stance! Great ride!

 

Damn it dude I lost a ebay bid on Big Brake optioned Dog dish caps like yours on ebay for $45.00. They were in ok shape with some dings but still....

 

Damn Nice!

What is the 1% not finished?

 

I think the only thing I would change is the name on the title.

 

Boy you have good taste!

I like all your rides.

I think the 1% might be finished by now.. He's replacing the seats upholstery.

Wow! Nads' A/C HTR system, is nothing like yours. I'm curious how many htr options there are for '59.

 

Slick.

 

Jeffrey, the problem is with dented ones is that they're not aluminum or stainless so you need to have them re-chromed after removing the dents. The bigger problem is when you have dents on the cross flagged face, they're impossible to repair without pecking out and grinding out the indented flags.I'd already tried several sets of caps from eBay but they could not be saved. Luckily the sellers took them back and they only cost me postage. They are plentiful at the $45.00 figure because they're junk. eBay photos hide a lot. Around here it's not cost effective to bump them out then have them re-chromed and re-painted. I was lucky enough to find N.O.S. ones.
