North Side

Just another day on the North Side of Dinuba, CA.
Our customer dropped this 1960 Chevy off for us to work on. Draws customers like flies. :)
The customer hadn't worried about:
Wheel studs too short for aftermarket wheels (wheels fell off here while pushing).
Replacing front oil pan seal (it got left out, kinda oily down there).
Installing "sensing" wire on GM alternator. No charge to fix that! :)
Installing cooling fan. Kinda gets hot...
Timing distributor (he just threw it in). Made cool popping noises, though.
"Breaking in cam with correct oil". Nope! We tried to tell him the correct oil is now like $12qt. I guess he likes to replace valvetrain components.
Brakes! Who needs those? And a brake pedal that returns. Sheesh.
BUT IT'S COOL! Probably worth more than all my piles put together. Very little rust or damage in body.

Re: North Side

I do like those old Chevs, it would look quite a bit better stock wheels on it, and sounds like it would do better with a more intelligent owner.
