Re: My rusty 58 stepside build
Thanks Squirrely. Can I annoy you more by asking whose rust inhibitor you used? Are you pleased with whatever it was?

Re: My rusty 58 stepside build
I don't think you're cheap. That's probably what I'll use if I don't use the KBS.

Re: My rusty 58 stepside build
Enjoying your build. You ever get it running? I'm not a mechanic, and I dont want to insult your intelligence, but are the coil wires ran right to the dizzy? I only ask because I spent a day chasing a non spark issue only to discover I had the wires crossed.
I'll come back when you have more to show!

Re: My rusty 58 stepside build
Nice work on your build, seeing you fix all that rust is motivation to keep working at mine. Like others have said you just have to keep at it till it looks right.

Nice to see the work you have done so far and more to come. May stop by and talk to you next week about your welder.
