Projects Holy crap what have i gotten myself into?? Bowling green bound.

Thanks, it has wiped the car fund out.

 

I went and got the tank yesterday evening still has some dents in it but he did as well as could be done. It is slick as glass on the inside and coated and has a patch soldered on the outside. It has also been pressure tested for leaks. I am very happy with the shop that did it.

Tomorrow we are planning to bleed the brakes replace clutch , pressure plate, and throughout bearing and install the tank with the new sending unit.

I have a question I need to get some new seat belts I need a good belt but I need them at a good price because I have exhausted my funds. I also need to know about what size to order.

 

How many belts ? do you have belt bolts ? are you replacing or installing for the first time.(the car never had them?) do you want 2 point or 3 point. do you want push*****on or lever lock buckle ? You will need to figure size ,I checked 3 sites , prices start at $16.95= lap belt , seatbelt bolts are $3.95 per pair. I see shipping is a flat $5.00 ...sites http://www.seatbeltsplus.com/ and https://www.gotbelts.com/ https://www.seatbeltplanet.com/ American sewen .. hmm must mean supplys could come frome china****embled here in usa .. 0well https://www.seatbeltplanet.com/ this site is the most user friendly and has a noted good return policy.

 

5 belts new install pus*****on with retractors in the front.
I will check those sites out

 

Are you set up for easy 2nd seat removal ? if so belts and hardware will be a few $ more cause you would unsnap from a floor EYE type anchor bolt..

 

No the back of the back seat folds down flat on the BOTTOM.

 

Ok so it's drivers choice , and go to work drilling holes , 5 ? not 6 ,? 3 front , 3back

 

I am just going to put 2 people in front. I am a pretty decent sized boy and i do not like to be crowded

 

ok understood,,,,,

 

And eventually i may decide to put some buckets and a console in it.

 

Cool wall paper

 

That is about the shape my wagon was actually in when i got started. I was looking at it thru rose colored glasses

 

They all end up like that sooner or later

 

I heard that

 

Well today is hopefully going to be a big day. I hope to get my list of stuff to do done today after work.

 

Good luck on that,enloe

 

Thanks

 

Well not as much progress as I wanted yesterday. I got the driveshaft and transmission out. either today or tomorrow I will get the clutch changed and the brakes bled. Then I hope to be doing some driving

 

Oh, What's the drive setup. 3 speed ,what's the final ratio? 283 engine?

 

It's looking good man! I just bought ANOTHER 59 Pontiac wagon for parts, but it might be better than the one I already have!! haha

 

283 three on the tree and i am unsure of the gear ratio

thats good you will need all the wagon parts you can find. If the tailgate is good they are worth a chunk of money

 

I am looking for some of the old type floor mats they were a clear vinyl or rubber they were 1 piece for the front and 1 piece for the back.
