My name is Patrick, and I'm buying a 1957 Belvedere.  Here's a photo:

I'm 41 and new to having a classic car, so I may be writing in with
questions.  I bought an original service manual on e-bay.  Where is a
good place to buy parts when they're needed?

I live in Michigan and will be storing the car in my garage for the
winter.  Does anyone know where is a good place to buy a cover?  What
kind of cover should I buy?  I've read that the cars were prone to rust,
and I'm worried about it because we can get humid here!

Thanks!

Easy as 1,2,3..
I like to remove tire and rim before taking drum off...weighs a little
less and easier to handle that way. Let's not forget to remove the
cotter key (pin) before trying to remove the nut! and the rest is just
as Mike wrote it... John  in very snowy Central WI
