'59 Plymouth Forum

Tim's story here is lifted, in part, from the '59 Forum Chat, and also from email conversations.

As a father & son project, me and my dad will be improving this car to make it actually drivable (4.10 diff gearing, Utah), reliable, and hopefully, somewhat economical since we're paying close to $8/gallon for gas.

Crazy how wheelskirts are easier to source than a water pump

Replaced the water pump, sadly that wasn't enough to get her to run reliably. The radiator's leaking, and she loses compression when warm. New radiator and valve adjustment soon!
