You got to love 50's cars.
I went to pull my steering wheel off yesterday and come to my surprise it didn't want to come off. It must not have been off in a while. I actually bent my puller trying to get it off the first time (pictures of the bent bolts below). I barrowed a friends of mines which fit much better and with about 5 turns more than I really wanted to go it popped off. I finished pulling the radio and ash tray out and then moved to starting rust repair on the drivers side rear quater panel. The side I thought was going to the worst of the too. Much like all the cars there was plenty of filler around the wheel wells (pictures below). Tomorrow I am hopefull I can get the bad metal cut out and start working on some of the replacement panels.
