Lets keep the order
All righty then! Subscribed and ready for action. [::DD0]
got few irons in the fire started on engine.
Gotta love those fins…
I look forward to watching.
Hi;
Please , Please ! Don’t put that dorky Continental Kit on this beautiful car .To me it doesn’t belong on such a swoopy designed body . T.B.
no I won’t . I don’t care for it either.
Sorry to hear that you don’t like the “Connie” kits. I bought a '60 Chevy convertible in '64 with the long cruiser skirts and the full width Connie kit. The only thing I didn’t like about the kit was the locking latch. Could never get the tire to stop vibrating and banging against the stop. Other than that, I thought that it was the most beautiful car I had ever seen and owned.
Plus, with the spare outside the trunk, two guys could get in the trunk when we went to the Drive In.[H]

well I like them on fords, merc’s and lincolns
OK, I’ll let you go this time. [;)] Waiting to see what you do with this kit.

Nothing like an early '50’s with extended rear fenders and a Connie kit. For the '59, it might be hard to wrap the fins around the spare, but there were a lot of bizarre and beautiful customs in the “little pages” and Car Craft.
Looking forward to your build!
Mike
the 348 cid is together painted pumbed .started the wiring and a tamiya black wash.
Wow Nick, that really takes me back to my '60. That engine is great with the trip 2’s. The only difference is that mine had a lot more dirt and oil on it.[;)]
Keep up the great work.

Thank you Jim. I have the engine in place and chassis completed.
Looking good Nick. Gotta love those skinny bias ply tires too. [:)]
Nice so far. Saw a 1:1 on the back of a semi trailer last night headed south. Someone got a nice red project.
Thanks guys I’m still thinking about the color maybe a cream with metalic green trunk and roof
my latest pics with wheels on and logo’s didnt like the spinners.
Ive been looking at this 59 and primer and gave base coat of light ivory the interior also a year is to long
Coming along nicely, Nick.
Take your time, I sure as heck do.
Been out of the loop for a bit. Good to get back in here and seeing good stuff like this being built. Hope you bought a new sheet of bare metal foil. You’re probably gonna use dang near all of it on this build.
