It's coming along........just a little slow. Been real busy with work. I'll get some pictures up here over the weekend. i'm in the process of wiring the engine &amp; trans right now. The speedo is sent out for an electronic conversion. I should hve the A/C parts this week and have the front accessory drive finished soon as well.

Thanks,
Tim

I spent today wiring, installing the accessory drive, and started installing Dynamat in the 59. Here are a few pics I snapped.

I blacked out the Dynamat inside the doors so it can not be seen.

With some inspiration from Ken (and custom parts) I took a few days off from work to make some progress on the 59.

Accessory drive installed and started to install the new A/C parts. I am going to run this in conjunction with the original underdash A/C unit.

The speedometer came back from Classic Insturments.

New motor mount plates. Solved everything!

When I had the trunk mat out of the car to finish the harness for the fuel pump, I found these. Any on you see these before?

Tim, did you get a chance to drive the car before/after the sway bar installation? I bet it made a huge difference as I've been messin' around with one of these larger X-frame cars myself and they do tend to kinda wallow around a bit. Especially the 6-cylinder cars because they didn't come with a front sway bar like the V8 models.
