Re: 1960 Biscayne
Wow, that sucks! I've been down that road with CPP a few times so I know your frustration.

Re: 1960 Biscayne
At least CPP is trying to do something about it. They've been in continual contact. The problem is the mounting bracket/hub/rotor combination doesn't provide sufficient offset to install the brake caliper.
Meanwhile, I'm making progress on the interior. Headliner is in. Not as tight as I would like, but I'm going to let the ultra leather assume it's new shape and then try it again. Took a bit but not as bad as say, installing disk brakes. :) http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D550/ry%3D400/ All the seats are in. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D550/ry%3D400/ I decided to try a console from a 67 Impala (I think) and it fits like a glove. I've gotten some SEM mixed to match the leather and will be painting it. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D550/ry%3D400/ And it provides a great place to put the Air Ride display. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D550/ry%3D400/ I'm going to replace the PRNDL plate for now with a solid plate covered in leather. Latter on the auto transmission shifter will be there. |

This pic cracks me up. The interior on this is bigger than the living room in my first house. :D

Re: 1960 Biscayne
Well, got some good news finally on the brake issue. Turns out they finally figured out they sent me the wrong brackets, in spite of the fact they are the ones their kit calls for. I've been working with Jeff on this and I credit him with be persistent and seeing it through. Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed this will do the trick.

My 59 Buick is a 2dr sedan also and that's as far as the rear windows will roll down. I wasn't sure if something was wrong with them since the regulator needs to be lubed up anyway. Is that as far as your rear windows roll down? I guess it seems right the way the window tips forward rather than rolls straight down. |
Re: 1960 Biscayne
Yep, that's as far as they go. That is a really cool LeSabre.

Re: 1960 Biscayne
More pics....
Here's the console as it looked before. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D550/ry%3D400/ Worked it over this weekend so it would work better with the interior. I covered the console lid with a scrap of leather that was left over, and painted it with SEM Super White which tuned out to be an incredibly good match. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D550/ry%3D400/ Replaced all the brake lines with Inline Tube stainless. It fit surprisingly well - at least surprising to me with my recent track record using products from different vendors - it hooked right up to the new power brake booster/master cylinder/proportioning valve sourced from POL (may they rot in hell). I also finished up the headliner and got the trim re-installed. All that remains is to get the sun visors back up and that will finish up the interior. I'll finally get the disk brakes hooked up, then I'll put her up on the lift and torque everything down, install clips to make sure the air lines and the power cable are all snugged down, then off for an alignment. All this week? Ha! My original deadline was July 4th, then September 1. Keeping my fingers crossed. |
