Depends on your time and financial resources but whatever you do don’t rat rod it.

Maybe the Russian dating service will deliver the parts.

I recall reading that Ettore Bugatti once received a letter complaining that the writer’s Bugatti was difficult to start when the weather turned cold. Ettore wrote back stating that if he didn’t keep it in a heated garage, he didn’t deserve to own a Bugatti.

Thank you Bill. I was planning to use shoulder harnesses so at least for now I’ll pursue that option. Sorry for the hijack, I am also missing some body mounts and will check back to see what advice you receive in that regard.

I can’t help with the cushions, although I’m missing several on the 57, but I am very interested in how you install your seatbelts. Are you doing shoulder harnesses? I’ll be looking into doing them on a 57 Special 4 dr Riviera.

Sometimes having no idea what you’re getting into is the best way to go. My first project was a 1949 Ford F-1 that my dad owned briefly and then sold. After many years of abuse that owner then gave it back to me. I was 12 years old and couldn’t have been happier. Well, I’d never again want to take one that far gone and make something of it, it took many years and more money than I care to think but it made for a nice truck with a good story.

Take a look at the Flite Test website, they offer free plans for airplanes built from Dollar Tree foam board. A complete airframe will cost between 2 and 6 dollars. Or they offer precut kits. Electronics will run about $100 plus radio. Build the plane, crash it, pull the electronics and put it in the next one. I’ve built several and they are great flyers. Below are my two Spitfires and a store bought powered sailplane.

Hadn’t thought of Rock Auto, turns out I can buy a complete cylinder for about $6. Looks like the way to go.

To fit the front wheel cylinder on a 57 Special. All I need is a single 1 1/8” aluminum piston, seems I misplaced it and now I can’t get the brakes buttoned up until I find one.

My Buick isn’t presentable so I’ll have to use the F-1.

Would you mind describing your break in procedure? I realize that’s as bad as showing up in a firearms forum and asking AR or AK, but with any luck I’m a month away from breaking in a 57 364 and I’ll take all the experienced advice I can get.

I know they don’t fit a 1957 Buick Special, since that’s what they came with. Also curious about the square piece.

That’s funny, scraping the old grease off old parts is one of my favorite things. It’s like sculpting for the untalented; just scape with a putty knife and before long a beautiful old engine emerges.
