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.

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!
