Re: 1959 Plymouth Savoy 2D Front Bumper + Valence

Regarding the bumper - if you're looking for show quality, you might try Bumper Boyz (their contact info is he...

Driver's side grille

If you need a driver's side grille in good condition - only minor imperfections - I can put you in contact with the seller, with whom you can negotiate the price. Note: Grille pieces came in two flavors, where the horizontal bars are grooved, or smooth (without grooves). This piece has smooth horizo...

Re: 59 Mayfair in Regina Saskatchewan

Thanks! Facebook gives folks their 15 minutes of fame, but an individual’s story is scattered to the four winds, and the search capabilities suck. The Forum can’t hope to compete with the instant gratification FB provides, but it can provide a coherent view of a person’s efforts and aspirations. Tha...

Tried my hand at AI, but I suck - this car looks nothing like a '59 Plymouth!

It's Getting Hot in Here

I have been driving the '59 Plodge daily this week and marveling how great it was running! UNTIL! Leaving the grocery store parking lot, I see a wisp of smoke coming from the dash/steering column area accompanied by a burning electrical smell. I cut the ignition immediately, stop as fast as I can, l...

Them's the Brakes

About to tackle the front disc brake conversion (from an '80 Cordoba) and the upper control arm bushings and the 4 ball joints on the 59 Dodge Mayfair... Have the manual, shouldn't be a problem, but is it worthwhile to remove the inner fenders? Would certainly make working on the upper control arms ...

Roll Out the Carpet

Finished insulating the floor and installed carpeting. Repaired the corroded rocker covers and installed hidden speakers up high on the kick panels. Seat belts tomorrow and seats hopefully in the next week! Tired of sitting on a Sealtest case... Have not driven the car once all year. 24_09_04_458403...

Treated the vinyl like bodywork ,but used JB Quik instead of bondo. Found good matching paints and dulled it back down...
