1959 Pontiac Star Chief

[SugarRay8]

finished the patches on this side.
Just need to finish welding up some gaps/holes then clean them up.
Next on to the drivers side.

I wonder if patch panels for the same year Impala would fit?

I checked into it, even went to look at a buddies 59’ Biscayne and it’s the same problem as the Cat panels. But with the Cat panels, the area back by the bumper has the correct shape where the Impala and Biscayne are shaped different.

Well, I don't know how I missed this build but glad I found it. I love these cars, I had a 59 Parisianne convertible years ago. Keep up the great work, it's going to have a great look from what I can see here. [cl [P

I just have one question. What brand are the wheels you picked for this. I would like to look into a set for my truck.

 

[SugarRay8]

Sorry, really nothing to update. Work and other life events have halted progress.
Also, looks like we're loosing our shop, so I'm going to be trying to get it ready to move and to where...?

roddguy1, I'm sending you a PM for the panels.

 

[BlueNorther]

Bummer man, hope you find new lodgings for the car.

life can get in the way of the fun stuff, but hang in there and we'll keep our fingers crossed for you.

Car is awesome. I always love the ones that are out of mainstream popularitywise. it does create challenges though.

 

[bruno]

Hope you got the move settled out, was following this build. Let us know how you are doing.

 

[SugarRay8]

Project is still alive
With trying to get the car ready to move, a change in jobs and my son starting a new business...we just haven't had much time.
We have been working on it
Here's a couple shots of how the car is currently.

Now that's a beautiful car. Great lines. Looks like it's moving while standing still. [cl
