Looks awesome Cody! I hope to see it at a show this summer since I'm finally leaving Afghanistan....I'll take one of those shirts as well!

 

Cody, car looks great, nice pics...Jim

 

Awesome, just want to see this car in the 'flesh'...........!

 

Cody , I have a 59 brookwood and do you know where I can get windshield rubber . Steele does not carry , thanks Blue

 

Epay or the Car &Truck shop in Orange Ca., Ecklers ElCamino store. 59 60 biscayne, bel air, it's the same rubber.

 

Wow, this is car porn!!

 

I thot that shud be the same as my El Camino and thot it odd that Steele didn't carry it. I looked in their catalog and both '59 & '60 are listed the same way, "BelAir, Impala, El Camino & Wagon, except Brookwood." Why wud Brookwood be singled out?

Hi guys, I believe this is a misprint in Steele's catalog. All 1959 sedan, wagon or El Camino used GM # 4757011 windshield rubber. FWIW 1960 however is a different story, Biscayne/Brookwood use a different rubber to Belair/Impala etc. I know from experience that 1960 Biscayne sedan rear is different to all others as the trim fits into a slot in the rubber rather than being held by metal clips. Perhaps something similar on '60 front?

Cheers,
Arnold.

 

sorry for the delay guys , things here have been very frustrating and hetic , Ive been making some progress but not as much as I would have liked to , still working out the bugs in a lot of things , but I finally got a lot of them fugared out , I got the master cylinder back from being sleeved down and still ran into some problems , the spring on the 7/8 side wasn't long enough to pull the plunger back , but last Thursday I got it all fugared out , and the breaks are working the way they should now,


I had the left side sleeved down to 7/8" ( Front disk) and the right side sleeved down to 1" for the (rear drums)




also ran into some oil leaks with the valve cover , I changed to a thicker gasket


worked on the interior some more





back in from testing the brakes


did some night driving

 

ok so finally the T shirts are in , if any of you are interested , there 20.00$ a piece with FREE SHIPPING to the lower 48 states. there a front shirt design and pre shrunk cotton , the only color they come in is black , and I have sizes small-XX but contact me if you want a larger size and I can look into getting them , I take PayPal , my E-mail address for PayPal or if you want to contact me about shipping internationally . is codysfireball6@yahoo.com
