In October I finally got my 59 Hawk running and drove it for the first time around the block. The 289 runs strong, the 3 speed shifts well, but the brakes and suspension still needs work. However, when driving the car, I heard a fairly loud thump sound that I thought came from the passenger side, but I couldnt tell for sure.. I figured it could be something banging around in the trunk.
Well last weekend I went to put rear tires on the car. When I jacked the car I noticed the crossmember looking like it split.. I attached pics. There is a huge amount of rust in between the two pieces of the member. I swear it didnt look like this before I drove it. I also noticed broken bolts where it is supposed to bolt to the frame. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
