Re: Padded steering wheel center wanted

I bought the horn ring pad last spring, so I'm good there. If I run across the bumper extension, I'll let you know, but I'm pretty sure I do not have one currently.

Re: Faulkner gets a Redo

Wish you were closer, I'd fix that valance right up for you. It's actually in great condition compared to most out there. Mine was crushed flat and ripped at one end where something had hooked it, but I couldn't find anything better at the time.

Re: Newbie to forum

Welcome to the board, Kiwi!

I have a number of '59 parts cars here, and probably have what you're needing. You're about a 2 1/2 hour drive south of me.

Re: Lola and my Boy

Nice. I drive my cars as well, personally I enjoy the feeling of resurrecting something that was forgotten or discarded, making it serviceable, then using it as it was meant to be. Fielding comments and questions when you stop at a gas station or store has more value to me than car show awards. ---J...

Re: Lola and my Boy

Awesome story!!!

It's nice to hear that you found a shop to tackle the metal work, at a reasonable price too. The car looks great! Your son looks somewhat familiar, too, what show was he performing on, was it the Voice?
