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 gl*** 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 gl***es

 

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.
