'59 Chevy Panel "Don't Call It a Come Back!"

[59Panel]

I just got my first project truck. I have driven this a few times around the neighborhood and got it up to about 70mph. That was fun!

I am basically the third owner. She was a dry cleaner's delivery van for 35 years in Mississippi. Then sold to my pal in '85. He used it as his primary vehicle until 7 years ago, when she got parked in a garage. Better than a field or driveway.

The gas tank was nicely rusted, sending a lot of rust flakes to the fuel filter. After searching the country and Canada for a new tank, the original tank is now being relined. Now to find a sending unit!

Plans are to bring it close to original with some safety additions, electronic ignition, front disc brakes, cotton air filter, etc.

Then it will become "The Inspector Dave mobile!" I have a few friends that are doing the design work for the paint job.

Hope you guys will enjoy the process.

Kindest,
-Dave
