Sweet score. Just came across a biscayne, might make a good parts car or another reason for the wife to send you to the dog house.

Chris58 · WATERFORD, ONT

Don't need help getting in the dog house, except to get the dog out of there! Buuuttttt....curiosity killed the cat. What's the scoop Chevyboy?

Sacotu · COBOURG, ONT

Chris58 · WATERFORD, ONT

Glad to help with the funny bone.

I sure wish the folks in the know would share the HOW TOs with us not so sharp guys. Hell, I should just go out to the shop...

Back to the 58's when back in High School [mid 60's]one of the guys had a 58 Impala, [a mid blue] was a small block & think it had 3spd on the floor. It also has custom tail lenses,they were white with large red diamond in the centre. This was in the east end of T O in the Beaches . Any one remember this car?? Ronny Crooke owned it, name just came back to me. Pete

flatblack55delivery · PORT HOPE, ONT

I don't remember that particular car,Pete as I went to highschool in Mimico,but I do remember all kinds of cars with those tail lights.White with red diamonds.A lot of 59-60 fords with them ,I think they came from Lee plastic,out of the Honest Charley or JC Whitney catalogues.I also remember the ragtops with the diamond rear windows.Lots of bolt on stuff back then.All you needed was a drill and a screwdriver .You waited for the package to arrive and all of a sudden you were Ed Roth or George Barris driving the coolest custom around.Now we laugh at the guys doing the same things to there pickups and mini vans. Ed

Chris58 · WATERFORD, ONT

No offence to you older guys, but I've been saying for years..."Man I wish I was born 20 years earlier". But then I guess I'd be putting up with young smart assess like me biggrin

Seriously...cool was cool back then. Anyone that does something different is looked at sideways now.

I'd like to see a picture of these tail lights. Anyone got a pic?

poncho62 · ADMINISTRATOR

59 Caddy tail lights were popular

and blue dots

Chris58 · WATERFORD, ONT

Love blue dots. That was one of the first things I did to my Belair 22 years ago.

sasquatch · NORTH BAY, ONT

See,,,, us OLD guys saw some neat things back decades ago!! Lol

(Now if we could just REMEMBER them all!)

Sacotu · COBOURG, ONT

if it wasn't for flashbacks i'd have no memory

Dave Scott · ANCASTER, ONT

I'm loving these old Chevys.

I'm a long way off from taking on a project like that.

Better get my socks on, before I'm too old to pull them up, lol.

Chris58 · WATERFORD, ONT

Well so much for my "build thread". A lot has happened since March of this year. My marriage went up in smoke and I had to move. A couple of good things came out of it.

1. I got to keep all my cars.

2. I moved to a nicer house with a BIGGER garage.

3. I sold my Chevelle finally!

4. I have LOTS of time to get back at this car.

I will try to load up a few pics of my progress. Here's the kicker...I need to have it ready for Detroit Autorama Extreme in March 2014!!! If it wasn't for today's nasty hangover from Grumpy's Christmas party last night, I'd be out in the shop today, but focussing on my keys is hard enough!

My original plan was to fix a few holes in the trunk and drive her. That turned into a full trunk floor overhaul, lower quarter patch panels, lots of plastic filler...well...you all know the story.

Here goes...

Trunk floor hole...seemed simple enough... camera 027.JPG

you were as we say primed. but since you're not working on the car here are some american graffiti line that you love to quote!

Bob Falfa: Hey man, I'm sorry if I scared ya!

John Milner: You're gonna hafta do one hell of a lot more than that to scare me!

Bob Falfa: Hey I've been lookin' all over for ya man. Didn't nobody tell ya I was lookin' for ya?

John Milner: Man, I can't keep track of all you punks runnin' 'round here backwards.

Bob Falfa: Hey you're s'posed to be the fastest thing in the Valley man, but that can't be your car. It must be your mama's car! I'm sorta' embarrassed to be this close to ya!

John Milner: Yeah, well I'm not surprised, drivin' a field car!

Bob Falfa: Field car? What's a field car?

John Milner: A field car runs through the fields, droppin' cow **** all over the place to make the lettuce grow.

Bob Falfa: Ha ha! That's pretty good! Say, I like the color of your car there, man. What's that s'posed to be? Sort of a cross between piss yella' and puke green ain't it?

John Milner: Well, you call that a paint job, but it's pretty ugly. I bet you got to sneak up on the pumps just to get a little air in your tires!

Bob Falfa: Well at least I don't have to pull over to the side just to let a funeral go by man.

John Milner: Oh ho, funny!

Chris58 · WATERFORD, ONT

Getting right at it...
