1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Hitting the Road for the First Time in 30 plus years! Abandoned No More!

1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Hitting the Road for the First Time in 30 Plus Years!

Check Out the RevStories Channel: / @revresale
I am back in the Family Car Graveyard. The Ole Man and I will attempt to give this 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Life from the Dead. She has been sitting for years! Can she hit the road for the first time in 30 years? Is a Revival Possible? Will the new ballast resistor fix the ignition issue? Will she start for the First time in 30 plus years? All these questions answered on this episode of RevStoration.
Thanks again to Eugene Back Yard Repair!

FLux core solder (house plumbing supplies) and some Map gas is a semi permanent fix for that hole. Drain it, heat it, solder it. Easy.

[@RevStoration]

Brittle though... heat might eat it away

[@loupgarou1261]

@@RevStoration Looks like a fin and tube type radiator so eliminate the leaking tube. Quickly heat the tube close to the header and pull it out (both ends) with a pair of needle nose pliers, rolling it up on the pliers jaws. Then solder the holes closed. 15 minute job. You will need liquid acid soldering flux and a flux brush to clean the holes in the top and bottom headers (use along with heat) before soldering them shut. Solder will instantly fill the holes.

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

You always amaze me on how creative you are in getting these cars to a "living" point, and just seeing the joy of making it work with what you got, and Ole man is priceless. Keep on going.

The best thing about the channel altogether is you getting to work with your dad. I wish I could get hold of a older rig and do the same with mount dad. We always have talked about it. Who knows? Lord may bless us to do just that. Take care of your Dad and never disrespect.
