Ah yes, and I could NOT find original hubs in 15s. So, either I make them myself or deal with an alternative - which I did using early 60s Galaxie hubs. You can see them ( and the clearance) in this...

I don't mind responding - but still would like feedback if there is comment on the original topic...

So, I actually bought the 59 as the owner was in the middle of resto-modding. the 15" wheels...

my 59 is converted to 15" and I'm not going back, so I have the original rims. Do you think that anyone would want them, free for the cost of shipping? I can post in Skyliner mag but don't want to go...

I took off the lift jack for repair, and discovered that one side of the rubber bushing where the screw mechanism fits into the floor mounted bracket is missing. Anyone know where to get one, or what...

I have opted to, and started to, replace the seals without removing the roof. After study there were few seals that would be too difficult to reach. And after starting, realized that some of what I...

I have all the top seals to replace. I'm considering removing the roof - so that I can turn it over and clean out the channels, fix rust spots, etc. - vs trying to do it while partially up. Does...

Thanks Clark. That confirms what I suspected - as it appeared that there was no change to the wiring. However, I'm going to go ahead and wire the switch through to an "ignition on" so that I'll have...

One of the last tasks I had on my project '59 is to get the backup lights working properly. Just discovered that they only work when the lights are on. Is that the way they are supposed to work?

I had a couple of unfilled holes in the bottom of my 59 spare tire well. I assumed they are for draining should water get it. Anyhow I found some flat rubber plugs that fit quite well and mount...

Was able to find LED bulbs that were 'medium bright'. Correct base. Work great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W8G835M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

When I go through the erect cycle and the top drops down into the screw holes, the right front screw is about 1/4" too high. the screws are aligned, and they drop into the holes neatly, but the right...

appears to be fixed. disassembled and wasn't able to find any faults. the commutator on the armature was badly discolored from brush usage and there was a lot of dust between the segments. cleaned,...

Ok, I was able to find motor repair in the videos - so that's my next activity. Should there be an issue where the video recommends 'replace' vs repair, do we have an options? thx

I have an apparent dead spot on my '59 tray motor. I have checked the switches and get power and continuity. If I remove the motor and rotate the shaft it will start working again, but stops and...

Droptop, thx for the feedback. I'd suffer through the occasional night time op to be able to see daytime though. I guess if I could get to them I'd at least see if cleaning or replacing bulb could...

The dash blinker light on my '59 is so small, and dim, that I can't tell if it's on unless it's dark inside the car, and especially if the top is down - impossible. Has anyone figured how to brighten...

Who knows how the light switch knob comes off? the others on the dash have a set screw, but not the light switch. So, don't want to try and 'unscrew' or pull off if anyone already knows. thanks!

thank you Droptop for your prompt response. I'll look for the color tomorrow! Appreciate it.

I have been able to get my clock to work. while it's disassembled I want to repaint the hands. the hour hand is currently a faded red-ish orange, but the minute hand is off white on the stem, but the...

I thought at first that it was binding on the retraction guides, so I removed them and decades of dried grease... But no.
I was improperly adjusted retraction worm gear rods. I slipped up the...
