Old, but great post that I somehow missed earlier. Years ago, I read an article where a guy was restoring a gauge, might have been a speedo,...
My 58 Yeoman had new BFG T/A's put on in 1990, had probably less than 10k miles on them. The pix on the car was at about 30 years, the tires...
BTTT.
Sorry, no trades. I need the space.
Summer time is coming...
1958 Chevy Yeoman 2 door station wagon, one of about 17,000 built, and Yeoman was a one-year model only. I've owned this car since 1988, and have...
Looks great, John. Must feel really good to get it finished.
I was in my 20's, and had rebuilt the 283 that was going into my 58 Yeoman wagon. Got it in, started it up, and oil all over the floor. WTH?...
Was the fuel sending unit a new one? I had to replace the one in my Yeoman a few years back, luckily the tank has a drain. A few months later,...
I watched a friend of mine put knurled edge allen bolts in his drill press and file off the knurling, to use for the inner fender to fender bolts...
When I painted my '58 Chevy, I used regular laquer on the interior, and the steering wheel has held up well.
Lookin' good, John.
Great looking car. I'm 71 and have never seen that style. My dad had a '53 2 door sedan, and the roof was longer. I would think you're right that...
Here are some 1955 Pontiac Service Craftsman bulletins with one from 1956. They have been used, but are still very usable. They cover 1956 four...
Reprint 1929 - 1952 Chevrolet Interchangeable Parts Manual. Contains a listing of approximately 4,000 Genuine Chevrolet parts that are...
You must be so happy! Great job, John. Where's Willie when you want him singing "On the Road Again?"
Looking great, John. Are you going to do the GMC next?
Yeah, I looked after I asked the question, and saw they were Hillman's. Cool little cars.
Are they Vauxhall's? Look great.
Met this 57 Ford Wagon on the road the other day. Not a great picture, but I took it from my dash cam.
Hope this works. Nice car.
I had a 49 Ply just like that in HS, plus I had a 2 door sedan same color. Pick a pair.
Just like that fancy new car coming out next year; you can PRE-ORDER it today. Isn't that the same as just ORDERING it?
Nice car. I'm another that doesn't care for connie kits, but it really seems to fit that car. BTW, you can trip on untied shoe laces (check your...
It 's not a whole car.
My 58 Yeoman wagon has a U shaped tank, and when I redid the car in the early 90's, replacement tanks weren't available. IIRC, I used Eastwoods...
I never cared much for the 40 Mercs as much as the 40 Fords, because of the 'stodgy' upright roof. But, WOW! When you chop the top and make it...
Can it be adjusted to remove the play?
Got chrome wheels on both cars, but I do have a few wheel covers. Wires off my 63 Galaxie, which turn out to be Mustang covers. 55/56 Chevy, 66...
