Re: 1956 sunliner restoration
Only thing to do on that car is put a white top on it and change the horn ring. Sure hope all that stuff is staying with the car and not ending up on craigslist or facespace.

Re: 56 Conv top experts
I'm hoping to get over to the shop tomorrow and give it another couple of cycles and see if I can get any air out. Hopefully that does it. I'll report back.
Thanks for the input
