'59 Plymouth Forum

Welcome Rikkie-These are a great bunch of folks. Enjoy!!

Its great you thought to retain the buckles. I deviated from the stock upholstry and neglected to use or save the buckles. Not one of my swifter moves. The seat looks super!

Love those white 59's. Your work is unparalleled as usual Dick!!

Yes-saw Barry's car was in Delaware, but Dick should be able to locate the "Fountain of Youth" in Florida. If I could get a few swigs of that I could tackle this great project.

Nothing better than a steep uphill struggle against practicaly insurmountable odds.

I've had great luck with Restoration Specialties & Supplies Inc @restorationspecialties.com They have a great catalog and offer great tech advice.

Thanks All especially Dan! I've really enjoyed the site over the years.

Congratulation folks.

Wonder what the blurb in the heading exempting the convert. and suburban is all about? Years ago I plowed ahead unbeknowest of this and they haven't fallen off yet.

I'm amazed the convert's exhaust system fits as well as it does. To this day i'll occaisonaly get a noise from some interferance if it feels like it. Always gives me something to do-like elmer fudd chasin that wabbit. Looking great Dick.

Wow-Looks great John. Vive la differance from when you carted it home. Congrats on a great restore!!

Kudos Dick-Certainly overdue!!!

Thanks for the picters and the great story. I had a 49 chevrolet that my big brother wrecked and it tracked alittle crooked. I drove it pre-license on our dirt road. The neighbors must have been horrified to see me coming, but there was no police intervention!! Those were the days.
