Comment on MIG Welding Wire Size by Robert W

Buy a Miller autoset mig welder and never worry about the settings as long as you know metal thickness. I’m a home DIY’r and It changed my my “skill level “ tremendously.

This is my dream restoration project. The only new car my father ever bought was a 75 s3, which happened to be the year I was born. His was this blue color. He sold it in the mid 80s. The kid he sold it to wrecked it in less than 6 months. Broke my heart.

I was wondering what the back story on the car is. My grandfather had this exact car, he sold it to a man in Indianapolis, Indiana back in about 1983. That owner was in an accident and the front fender was damaged. It was never seen again. Just wondering if this is that car?

I noticed that there was a lot of antifreeze ‘goop’ behind the old freeze plug. Why did you not get that out before you put in the new freeze plug?

Great info Mark. Really nice you provided a chart. I know it sounds a little to simple but with some of the people just getting their feet wet with this stuff I would humbly include that the size of the bolt is the shaft size not the head size. Super advise you gave.

Wow, what a cool car! I have never owned or known anyone to own one of these. But a great little work of engineering. I’m pretty sure it would be difficult to use this as a pursuit car. But you have a real gem on your hands. I used to drive 2 old VW’s Beetle & Karmann-Ghia with about the same horsepower.

Comment on 1958 Pontiac Chieftain by Ron M.

What an excellent automobile you are very lucky! I have always liked all the 1950’s / 1960’s GM’s. My older brother had a great 1957 Pontiac Chieftan with the big motor. It also had installed a hydro-matic 4 speed transmission that was great. I had a ’57 Chevy BelAir w/283-4barrel & power-glide 2 speed.
