I'm not sure that's a factory D500 badge on the trunk . . .

GREAT car - I can't wait to see the progress . . .

Cool, glad to see you got the car home. Yeah according to my parts book that trunk emblem is an original D-500 and could easily
get $5000 on ebay.... better hold onto it. Iwould use some crazy glue on them seats, thats how I got mine to stop swiveling....

Location: Building incorrect cars since 2000!!		Well the plan is to restore it . I am going to leave the drive train stock just do a once over on the motor maybe a intake and carb. Disc brakes on the front. I really need some sheet metal parts if any one knows where to get them. The chrome will all get done and a repaint in the colors of black and copper. I know thats not a color for that year but it looks bad ass and thats what my wife wants

Looks like I have a winter project but not till I finishes the few last things on the 60

ROFLMAO!!!! Yeah if you want I can get you the correct black and copper paint codes as you would be a fool to use anything else then NOS paint still
in the cans from 1959 (PM me I have some and wont let anyone else know) Make sure to paint the engine with the correct paint also and I have air
cleaner stickers, also NOS for $9.99 each, limited supply to purists only!! I have a website for NOS material and I know you will have the seats done
to factory specs with the factory thread too. Nice ride and dont forget to use leaded gas only!!

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada		I can ask some wreck divers I know to visit ships which sank during 1959 so they can check for trapped pockets of air and get you some "correct year" air to fill the tires.

Location: Building incorrect cars since 2000!!		Well i leave for the day and look what I come back to. I KNOW those colors are from 58!! Maybe this car was a late 58 model

I will do my best with the overspray since I clearly screwed it up last time. I am more focused now and have the required effort to undertake the task of correct overspray.

John give me a call I need some sheet metal and a hood latch. cooter done used it for his aerostar parts wagon

Kenny I will get that build date asap because one of the tires is going flat and I need air now!!!!

They overspray is important, and get some D-500 emblems, look like some hot-rodder stole yours.... probably put them on a chevy.... ewwww

Buy some "SS" emblems and put a magnet on the back then stick them on... that will get the chebby owners

Location: Building incorrect cars since 2000!!		Well its been awhile so here are some updates.

I repaired the rear of the frame and crossmember. It is primed ready for paint. Worked on truck extensions as well.

Here is the link to the pictures- posting them here is to much of a pain.
