3 Years in the Making!!

[Jeff Wilk]

What an awesome day!!!!  3 years after the brakes going out on our '59 Fleetwood and deciding to restore the entire front clip of the car, Noah tied for 3rd place today in our local CLC Regional Show at Gold Coast Cadillac!  Not bad at all when you consider this was a 3 year restoration on only 1/3 of the car

I will post as many pictures as space will allow and then another post as needed.

This is what the hobby is all about.....preserve the past and advance our future....

Forgot to add the pictures of the restoration work under the hood 

Here is the finished work.  Every nut and bolt re-plated (ourselves), every part stripped and painted (ourselves), a dual MC installed, AC rebuilt, and for those who have read the thread over the past few weeks....this all re-cleaned after three different leaks on the inaugural drive!!

Jeff and Noah,
You are a couple of guys after my own heart - those who turn the wrenches.
A very sanitary job, well done.
You deserve to be proud of what you have accomplished.
Have fun,
Steve B.

Your work is first rate and I hope the car brings you much enjoyment for years to come.

Well done.
