Careful! next thing ya know it's ALL in pieces as a full blown resto! :smilielol:
I'd like that 58 Buick too!  :2thumbs:
I'm getting scared  :scared: 
Maybe but when it is finished it will better than before, we all find out some of the wrong replacement parts that were fitted in our cars past history but the future will be more predicable.   :burnout:

Brad, It's not a sure grip. I couldn't afford one. Steve said what casing it was. But I forget.  :dunno: I know it's the good one. He said I wouldn't hurt it.  :roflsmiley: :roflsmiley:

Just got back from the garage. Rod is getting ready to blast the rear. He said all the head bolts were loose.  :banghead:  I just ordered all new brake lines,  :faint:
