Projects 59 chevy wagon in progress

Great thread. One of the best builds in a long time...Kudo's young man

 

Ditto..... What the bug box said Just can't seem to get enough of this fantastic build up!

 

Absolutely Amazing.

Thank you so much for taking the time to take pics and post them for us all to see.

 

Hey Cody,

I probably should go back and look but did you end up making your own glass channel for the rear window yet? I know it's posted on another thread but I don't recall seeing you make another piece yet. I have the same issue on my 62 wagon. Haven't looked around but assume I'll have to have it made as well. Keep up the great work!

9 days without an update. You're killing us man...

on another note ive been priming and doing a lot of final block sanding on the last bit of parts I have , all the parts that are going dark green are ready to be sprayed , im still working on the light green parts (the hood front lower valance and that kinda stuff , the hood has been sucking up a lot of time especially the under side .

even customizing the license plate , when all said and done and I grind the welds , there will be no visable bolts holding the plate on .

All the bits and pieces take so much time, but it's looking good. Wish I could help with the horn ring, but don't have a clue....Jim

 

It can be tough juggling all the day to day tasks and keep the details of ones own project in check. There's only so many hours in a day and let's not forget family..... You're on the path to success Cody, keep up the great work!

 

another Monday update ,ON SCHEDULE this time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also finished up my custom no bolt holes license plate



just some wire lacing

 

I hope by now you've figured out there more then a couple of items you're missing in the horn ring...the internal turn signal switch, horn button, turn signal canceler and a couple of other parts...IF that is a Chevelle wheel (and it looks like it to me), check out Eckler's for those parts...or Classic Industries...they should have what you need...

yes I was very impressed with dennis work , thanks for the kind words

thanks jim ,

nope not yet just been too busy

thank you

sorry just been to busy ,

thank you

very cool , yes he seemed like an awesome preson an we just chatted on the phone

thank you

thank you for taking the time and checking it out

nope not yet just too busy with everything else , but I plan on making it

I know I know

yes they do ,

exactly , it just seems like the days are running together

 

thanks for looking that up , I actually have that piece , what I need to know is what keep the horn ring stationary

 

its a 64 Pontiac grand prix wheel, its totally different , I have everything I need except on part that keep the horn ring stationary

 

hey buddy! cant wait to see it done!!! I gotta get a closer look at how you did the "wire tying" love the plate idea btw

 

you and me both , with the wire , its called wire lacing , it was done quite a bit back in the day , I found out how to do it on line . once you get the hang of it it goes pretty quick ,

 

so did you lay out the spacing when you did the lacing?....haha

 

na I just eyeballed it

 

sure you did...you have worse OCD then I do....haha

 

Cody, on the horn ring, I'm thinking there is a a spring loaded lock ring in the middle that twist locks onto the steering wheel. It has been YEARS since I've looked at the back one (my 64 currently has a not stock wheel on it). Unfortunately, my stock wheel is in storage 30 miles away and I can't get to it at the moment. Be several weeks at least. As soon as I can, I will go retrieve it and take pictures of all of it so you can see what bits you are missing.

Cody, everything looking great...Jim

 

Cody, I'm amazed at your ability to polish just about anything.

Maybe you could give me some feedback on something. I don't want to hijack this thread so I'll message you with my question.

 

Haha , I actually did

Details in building a car are what makes them special, and you keep nailing it each time...Jim

 

Unfreakin' believable. Keep it coming. Thumbs up from Down Under.

 

Keep it up, it is really coming together and will be winning awards in no time.

 

Cody, I've always wondered what happens when you tighten nuts and bolts down over a painted surface? Are you just letting what happens happen, or are you taking some precautions to preserve your beautifully prepared parts?

 

This is better than reality television, I can't wait till the next installment! Keep up the great work Cody........

 

just a quick out of the blue picture update
