welcome aboard jcdean86 and 34 fords. looking forward to pics. Techinspector knows of where tranny photos are. It sounds like a 700, but he will know.

thanks for the kudos guys, my wife and I have two weeks worth of work getting that stuff in there. She's quite the seemstress, she finished my back seat today. I'm a lucky man, thats for sure. The car goes in to the man to get the headliner installed the 22nd of next month. Just need to paint the dash and the interior will be done. It's been a long haul but a fun one.

They all take a lot of time, Brick. But it's always worth it when it's done!! It's 6AM here, just getting ready to sneak out to the shop and get a bit of work done on my own stuff before it's time to get back on everybody else's stuff. Keep up the good work and the updates, Brick. It's looking good!!!!

I love seeing all the cars in this thread that people are working on, Very nice car/trucks by the way. I have posted pics of my car on the forum, but was steered twords this thread. So for those who havent seen my project here it is. Its a 1959 Impala 2dr Ht big block car. Its put on hold right now money is tight and im about to have a disk replacment in my back, I hope to get back to work on it after I have recovered and get back to work, anyway here is my baby

HR59- Best of luck on your back repairs..whew- does not sound pleasant.
When you are well and pockets jingle again give us an update with pics. of your nice ride. Cheers

Thanks Walt, im really nervous about the surgery but I have heard good things about the new precidure they are doing, Its a Disk Replacement. I will defiently post more pics as I go

Hotrod59, there is a guy that rebuilt a car just like yours in my hood, I'lll get you some pics of it.

Disc replacement??? Wow, I should have gotten one of them instead of getting my welded!! (or whatever the dr. dude did) Been through the back surgery thing a couple times 59. The last time they must have done something right, backaches aren't near as common or as bad as they used to be.. Good luck on your surgery..

Yeah the Disc replacement is new to the U.S, they have been doing it sucessfully in Europe for over 20 yrs now. I was lucky enough to be accepted to have it done and live near a doctor who is qualified to do it. If I wasnt able to have this done they where going to do a fusion thats probally what you had. Glad to hear they got you all fixed up finally. Youther I would really like to see those pics of that 59. I have a ton of pics of different 59 Impalas saved on my computer and use them for my Desktops lol

Progress huh......OK...I can take a minute to show a lil' progress....

Upper left pic was a week ago...pic on the right, and on the bottom was taken tonight...

Currently.....I've got one more day to finish a laundry list of items before cruzin' to Puyallup for GoodGuys this weekend....but as it stands....
Just completed:
1) Tilt Hood
2) Bed removal and wood bed strips removal

Still to go for road readiness (again):
1) Finish hood primer
2) Rustproof and primer underside of bed
3) Remount bed and square up
4) Minor body work on bed
5) Sand and primer running boards

Still to come as $$$ allows:
1) New wood bed strips (there's a special plan coming but y'all will have to wait for that project idea..... )

Although I'm not doing all of the fine detail body work for paint prep at this time, I'm basically trying to finish getting the truck all one color..... the final body work and paint will probably get looked at more seriously this winter. Cause it's Summer time and time to drive it!!!

thats a pretty nice truck

Thank you very much 34Fords.....

I got all the work done today that I'd planned on, so tomorrow.....it's off to Goodguys @ Puyallup!!!

Digital camera is charged, cooler full of Gatorade, folding chair packed....check.....now I'm ready to drool over everyone elses cool toys for the next three days....

If anyone else makes it out this weekend, ya' might find me kicked back in the folding chair somewhere around the rollercoaster corner of the fairgrounds.....stop by and say hi!!

Sure do hope you are planning on sharing some of those pics with us when you get back, Cool

Just click on "post reply" or "quote". Scroll down under the text box & click on the "browse" button. Select a pic. (I have best luck with JPG Files) from your computer and click "submit relpy"
If it doesn't upload you may need to check the pic. size. Keep it around 500 px. and keep the resolution low so it loads faster.
