E113 Unboxing Vintage Air Evap Kit & SPW Windshield Wiper Kit Installation! 1956 Chevy Bel Air Resto

[@markfurry2807]

That is great Bill! Excellent idea using disposable tubing for a road map of the wiper cable tubes.

[@RestoringChristine1956]

The real acid test will be once I have wiring and power to see them in action. They tell you to use a zip-tie strapped around the wiper shaft to mimic the wiper when you test them.

Hey Bill! Summit Racing's national headquarters is a 15 minute drive from my house. They've got a showroom of stuff there that will make any man drool!

[@RestoringChristine1956]

I'm envious!!!

[@MagaRickn]

First off, you have got the best attitude of any car guy I have ever seen!! :) Me, I had to build me a bar, on my back porch, cause I know how I am! ;) I need the stress reliever. ;) Great video. I watch all your stuff, many times over. So I'm sure I missed this episode. But why did you decide to buy the new wiper assembly rather than just an original? I'm going with original, and my electric motor, I hope. ;) You make my Sunday nights!! :)

[@RestoringChristine1956]

I didn't have any faith in the original transmission cables, otherwise I might have done that. But, don't be fooled - I save all of my sentence enhancers for when the video camera is off! LOL!

[@johncornell3665]

Always enjoy your videos, she is a sweet car, that Christine!

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Thanks! I appreciate all of my regulars like you who help motivate me to keep chugging along!

[@rustyrodgarage2686]

Isnt it crazy how what seems to be a simple project turns into an all day project.

[@RestoringChristine1956]

YES! I even made the trip the day before to pick up what I thought I needed and ended up having to make 2 more trips to the warehouse and another trip to Harbor Freight!

[@hankclingingsmith8707]

Helps me feel not so discouraged doing mine. Things take forever if you want it right

[@johncox9876]

Bill this is good info. I'll be looking to do something on my 50 plymouth. Thanks

[@brentmorris8467]

While you have wipers and a/c under there find the spot for the fuse box and anything else, I have installed gas pedal, a/c, raingear wipers, light switch {massive}, brake pedal assembly, very little room left for computer, two fuse blocks, but its in there. Only to remove it all and to clean and paint under there. Yours is turning out very nice !! well done!!1

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Great suggestion!

[@joewolf4483]

Now I know what I'm gonna run into for the basics ... the rest of my interior is heavily modified ... savin me some time ... keep at it ...

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Yes, this fact-finding mission was totally worth it!

[@crazymikesvids5901]

Beautiful job! Ty for the great video.......now I know which wiper system to buy for my 57.

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Glad that was helpful!

[@johnmorris8150]

Don’t forget to get a firewall pad buddy car is looking amazing I’m watching your video now

[@RestoringChristine1956]

That's one of the things that just came in yesterday! I think I'll have to shim the evaporator out because it jams right up against the firewall and would squeeze the pad a LOT.

[@kevinschertz4089]

Looking great 👍

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Thanks 👍

[@jamesglass367]

Really enjoying your show

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Glad to hear it!

[@scottdyer-yq5hh]

Nice have u tested wipers operation for smoth nest like to hear your opening how well that works for U . I use V.A. on my 68 camaro fit well but found Ir compressor had too small c.f.m .had to up grade it hope all works well .looks great 2

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Not without power. I planned to try to hot-wire it when I can get the battery nearby.

[@scottdyer-yq5hh]

@@RestoringChristine1956 I was thinking when u where up and running

[@oacumulador]

I see the roof interior is in bare metal. Considering the humidity of your region, would be a good ideia to spray some protection before start rusting.

[@RestoringChristine1956]

I might just do that! I have all of the heat shield material on hand and will be doing that when I'm certain that I'm past all of the minor paint touch-ups so I don't get overspray on it. I have foam/foil for the roof and bitumin/foil for the floor.

[@hankclingingsmith8707]

Don't forget the firewall

[@sheet-son]

👍👍

[@RestoringChristine1956]

[@oacumulador]

There you go. 😅

[@johnjason7204]

Bill, Did you delete the dash radio? Not sure if the fender had antenna hole

[@RestoringChristine1956]

Good eye! Someone in Christine's former life gouged the radio opening and I welded it closed except for the left know. When I get a new radio, I'm going to cut it back out.
