MrObsessive Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Paint/two-tone is looking great so far Pat! If you can get through foiling one of these, you foil just about any car. This, the '58 Olds......actually just about any GM '58 car as they could be chrome laden beasts! When I was doing my '59, I remember it taking over a period of several days working an hour or two at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Thank you all of you for the kind comments. I was lucky and didn't any of the paint gremlins I normally do. And Bill, that is how I did it , in three sessions of about 1.5 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Worked on the interior. I had painted it the same color as the car with the intent to fill in the inserts with different colors but it looked too gaudy. So I picked two colors that are plausible as I couldn't match anything in the photos I saw. I have a set of seat inserts coming from Keith Marks. Then there will be a few rounds of touch ups. added the fuel line to the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Added the vacuum line and the wiring. The engine is almost ready to install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Great looking engine. I'm not trying to be a kill joy, but you might want to relook at your engine references. The Vacuum Advance unit on the Distributer I think should be on the passenger side of the Distributer and the Ignition Coil would be mounted on top and to the rear of the Intake Manifold. As mounted the Coil would contact the Firewall. Looking forward to seeing the seat insert decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I ready for the "home"? As far as the vacuum advance goes, i tested it and it works.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 The seat inserts and decals arrived today from Keith Marks. I might be able to finish it in '19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
