I'm excited as heck to be here, just picked up a '59 Belvedere 4door last weekend! Wanted something more.... ah, substantial.... than my 2 valiants. This big old beast has a 318 and a 2speed powerflite. Pics to come soon... I am still digging under my nails after the master cylinder rebuild this afternoon

Welcome, Hunter!
Perchance did you just buy your car from Nick Nichols? I was just talking to him yesterday and he said he sold his '59 sedan recently.

Haha yeah, I did! Nice guy. LOVE his other vehicles! I've had it for a week. Got the master rebuilt yesterday (myself), and today it's in for a brake line fab in the rear. Gonna have it cruising this weekend! Now I just need to track down some clean bucket seats and install my headliner....
