Re: 1958 Pontiac Wagon Build
Hey Guys,
I installed another patch (under rear seat) and have the rear driver's side floor (footwell) piece to go. (last one) But, on another topic, I had a friend of mine make me some custom wheel center inserts for my Pontiac Rally 2 wheels. Instead of the PMD, I am going to use these. I was able to hide the lines/grooves made by the 3D printer with many coats of clear.

Re: 1958 Pontiac Wagon Build
I installed the last piece to the floor. (Rear Drivers)
I did not grind the welds smooth on the inside, as I want to keep the strength of the weld, and once the carpet is down, it will not be seen. The underside of the welds need more smoothing, but that will be done when the body is lifted off the frame. (as I can't get at the welds) Also have some edges to weld in and smooth around the rockers/rear wheel wells, but that will be done when I remove the wheels/body. Overall, I am pleased with the results.

Re: 1958 Pontiac Wagon Build
That is a lot of work and it looks great from here, good choice on leaving as much weld as possible on the floor.
The dash profile and gauges layout is really cool. Thanks for showing as always and looking forward to see what's next. |

Re: 1958 Pontiac Wagon Build
Thanks 3drburb
It has come a long way, but still a long way to go.

Re: 1958 Pontiac Wagon Build
Hi Guys
I have been busy with some home renos for our daughter but was able to work on the Gas Tank. I thought it would have been as rusty inside as out, and was preparing to pay $500 for a new one, however, after removing a few rocks, and a vinegar/water sloshing, it looks really good inside. Then I had to make a steel piece to weld to the new sending unit (came with new fuel gauge) to attach to the tank. The tank now has about a pint of Transmission/Varsol solution that I slosh around occasionally (will be emptied at time of install) and is waiting. 1 more thing done (on a long list)

Re: 1958 Pontiac Wagon Build
Good job on the floor repairs and a nice save on the gas tank looks good!

Re: 1958 Pontiac Wagon Build
Not a big job, but I found some old PMD wheel centers at a Swap Meet and installed my custom inserts.
So the wheels just need some trim rings, lug nuts, and tires.

Re: 1958 Pontiac Wagon Build
Another little job, I am planning to use a 'Vintage Air' style of heater, so I decided to make a Blower Motor/Heater Core delete plate to clean up the fire wall.
