No, this is not political. Just wanted to show what I did in these past few days, in preparation of the engine compartment so It can be cleaned, sanded, blasted, and painted. The car needs a total restoration, though it runs pretty good. It is my 1957 President Classic, not Eisenhower! I had written a long and rambling account, but closed the window accidentally, sparing readers a lot of unnecessary verbiage. I will include a "before" photo to see what I have done in the last few days in California.
The rocker arm covers are rusty and probably need to be sand blasted or ground down to thin metal. The carb, a Stromberg 4 Jet, needs an accelerator rod and boot, but otherwise runs the car nicely. The air conditioning compressor and condenser will be replaced with modern units. The entire compartment needs to be sanded, primed, and painted. Exterior scheduled for the paint shop in June, and I have all the side windows and vents removed. Does anyone have a better (no cracks, few pits) windshield for a 55-58 President?
