That sanding wheel is amazing I'm still amazing at , how much lead they utilized , back in the day That car is coming along great . Certainly respect your tenancy and dedication
The lead is strong with this one. I didn't even realize it was in certain places, and how much, until I hit it with that sander and noticed all the small lead particles.
Looks real good in stripped down form. I’d have clear coated the sanded metal. Then found door skins lower quarters and had them welded in and cleared. The problem with the stripping wheel is it making lots of heat in one spot and deforming the metal. Bring in a glass man to help remove windows. Old glass is very brittle. And expensive to replace.
@@cudafry1967 don’t leave it red lead paint. That’s the ultimate insult. Maybe it’s poreus paint. It will rust again in time. You could find a laser rust removal machine. Neat tool. Check out half as kustoms. He got some videos on one. You can get a weld on slide hammer pull dents. Make your own. Vice grips on slide hammer. Weld on coat hanger to pull. Cool car good luck.👍👍
Loving the progress! I’ve owned my ‘57 New Yorker convert since ‘78, and early on I had an oil leak in the line to the gauge, but luckily mine was leaking as the line crossed the firewall, not in the interior.
Glad to see you getting back to this one. The cool factor is off the chart. If I already mentioned this in one of the previous episodes, forget it, but .... Are you by any chance a Stevie Ray fan? If you look up the video for "Superstition" you see him in front of the theater with a '59 Coronet. It's real close to this one. It's immaculate, and once again the cool factor is off the chart. That body style is just so menacing and badass, it stops my heart when I see one. Way way cooler than Christine. You've really got yourself something here, and I hope you see it through to completion.
SRV fan since day 1. Had the privilege of seeing SRV twice, once front row, he opened for Jeff Beck, and they played a few tunes together at the end. I remembered that video, but looked it up and watched it. Doing my best with the resources I have, this might take a while. Thank you!
@@cudafry1967 you could make a Venn diagram of cool old badass guitar players and righteous old cars. I think they both come from the same place in the heart. ...... Viagra for the soul
Is the roof over front screen covert to a convertible . Didn’t understand the strip. I guess you know cold war motors. You doing a great job. Good luck. 👍👍
Windshield was initially for the 57 convertible only, then in 58-59 it was used on the convertible and 2 and 4 door hardtops. There is a large, wide, piece of stainless trim that covers the top of the windshield and that roof gap. CWM is the king of 'the splice.'

Enjoyed your video. First car I ever drove was Dad's 58 Plymouth Belvedere, a sister car.

I have been monitoring the heat, I find that old steel can be very thin.

57 New Yorker is a beauty! At least the oil drained right out the holes in the floor.

Take a garbage bag and soak the window gaskets in GoJo hand cleaner. They'll soften up and look new.
Any chance you could be talked into making another pattern of that package tray? I could use one, my car hasn't got one
When I get to that point, it feels like that is so far away right now, but we keep making progress.
Your doing a good job on a great car, all you need know is a bigger garage. And the money to make it happen.
We used to have no garage at one time, so I am very grateful.

@@cudafry1967 cool. Thanks for info.
Car looks better by the video, no need for A resto on this car. Looks better the way it sits, hell of a job.
Wow, thank you.
Decent progress. Not uncommon to see the window frames rotted out. The cars where not very rust proof from the factory.
One might say disposable, at least at the time, everyone wanted the latest model year.
