'59 Plymouth Forum

Yea, I don't know. I do know the cruise down here has the more"hot" spots where the people gather in greater numbers so cars seem to loop that more. That is enough for me. I bought the car to enjoy, not to get another hobby via joining clubs etc. I have the boat club. That is enough. Cars ...

Thanks, the car got a lot of looks. I did not do the dream cruise. Waaayy to many folks for my likin'. We have our own Downriver Cruise that is big enough for me. I just can;t stand all the folks in thier everyday cars weaving in and out all over just to get to a store or something knowin all along ...

Had our 19th annual Past Commodores' Car show this last weekend. Got my 1959 Belvedere in this year. 102_0021.JPG fyc8.JPG fyc5.JPG fyc4.JPG fyc2.JPG 102_0022.JPG fyc1.JPG fyc3.JPG fyc6.JPG fyc7.JPG It was a beautiful day. Had over 220 cars, about 30 motor cycles and 14 old classic boats.

Well well, on the road finally. Thanks all for the help. Hope to get Dad out in the 59 this weekend for Fathers' Day.

I'll bring the hot dogs!!!

Thanks guys, yea I am happy and going to enjoy her just the way she is for some time.

Wow, I checked out the website. Nice. I don't think I can make it this year seeing the car has sat 30 years and with luck, will be on the road only two weeks about that time. I don't think a 1000 mile roadtrip would be smart. I like the barn find section. I guess that might be me. Have fun all who g...

5215.JPG 5214.JPG 5212.JPG 5211.JPG More photos. Rubbed out now. still have no break pedal. I have bleed the snot out of the system. I think the problem lies in the adjusters. The are not done equaly on each side. Seems one is froze on each wheel. So, I will take a weekend off from the car and enjo...

Howdy all. Good evening of work on the Belvedere. The Butler. I think the name is fitting. I got all the new brake lines in and hooked up. I got the rear brakes done. Darn those rusted up adjusters. Took some doin' but they are turning. Now I need rear drums and a good bleeding and the Butler will b...

Yea, and now to get those adjusters unstuck............

Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, free at last.......

Yea, I like that plate also. I have a matching set of Michigan 1959 plates that I will try to get on the car. I have to send in writing the request to Lansing to get them approved. Have to send them photo of plates. Can't do this at local office. Don't understand that. I guess they figure I have to ...

Nope, just a traditional puller. That is what I imagined I needed in my dreams last night while I was kicking myself in the you know what. My friend is a MATCO dealer and I can see with them. These drums just colapse under the pull of a normal puller. Thanks for the photo. A question?? After take th...

Darn rear brake drums frozen on. I collapsed one trying to pull it. I guess a traditional puller is NOT the way to go. Ugg. This was the last of major projects. First real disappointment so far.

Ok, I screwed one up already. Put a puller on the drum, heated around the key, banged like hell and the drum just started to collapse. Talking about a bummer. Not to mention expense. Now I am in process of cutting damn thing off with sawzall. Any secrets? They have been on there 30 plus years. I hav...
