Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
Test fitting the door I think my work might not be in vain, with some work should fit.

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
Found so time for the 59. Couple of my nuts were broke on bottom hinge one top hinge, so I took a approach at fixing them. Welded nuts to plate and plug weld them in truck. I realize i will lose some side to side movement but I can clearnce the hinge if need be.

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
google cage nuts for weld on versions that allow some movement for alignment purposes. maybe not the greatest for this situation due top access but great for some other stuff. some are pretty cheap on amazon

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
Cleaned out the bed today of parts so i could remove the steel plate put in by a previous owner, welded an eye hook to it and picked it up with the hoist. Found some rotten wood lol.

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
Been working on patch panels on the wife's 67 but had to wait on parts. So I decided to take the rear end out and do some wire wheeling.

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
Looks like a nice project- following along. I was in AZ on a mission trip this past February and snapped a couple of pics of this 59?

Re: Back to the fifties with a 59 project
I'm still here I don't have to tell you the mess the world's been in last year or so, but I've been working 6,7 days a week for most of the last year or so. I think some relief is on the way so hopefully I can get some family and garage time in. I did manage to order me a Mustang 2 front end kit.
