Rusted Bolt: 0, Me: 1

It took me about 3 evenings after work to get this S.O.B. out. It won several battles....but I won the war!!!

You showed it who's the boss!

Thats the inside seat bracket bolt to a 1950 cadillac I have. Badly rusted floors. That was the last sucker holding the front seat in. Sockets, hammers, chisels, soaking in PB blaster needle nose vice clamps and its finally out! No access for an angle grinder and I didnt want to weld on a nut for fear of starting a fire. Thing is soaked.

Just bragging. Game on.

Floor.

That has a lot of life left, just use a little anti-seize and put it back.

Just a little rust on that floor.... What there is of it.

Is that fan for blowing air up through the seats?

Isn't it always the last bolt that's a *****?

Good job.

Floor.

Good news is that you will have a project for some time to come.

Thanks guys. Its a series 61 sedan. I think I'm going to make it a mild custom.... Going stock spec show quality is just too expensive. Id rather build it myself and enjoy it.

I like to call it 'out think the brick'
You showed that bolt whose BOSS!!!
Now that's it's gone onto the rest.
Enjoy the process. It's really satisfying.

It was a really cool idea that came up back in those days and for some reason didn't really pan out until later years. That my friend is the 50s version of a heated seat!! Even had its own heater core and all. Really cool err hot idea for the day!!

 

[Fender1325]

The way its vented I dont think the idea was to heat the seat itself, but just vent hot air to the back front passenger feet area. Does have its own heater core but its probably leaky. I know the one under the dash leaks.

 

[Fender1325]

Come to think of it I think the one on the floor was everyone's heat and the one in the dash was the defroster

I bet it was the PB Blaster. That stuff is truly amazing. I was skeptical until I tried it. Hasn't failed me yet.
