Hot Rods 57 FORD Build #2... Glutton for Punishment.

No Tim.. an aftermarket unit...

 

No Tim.I got it from SW T-Birds,Its the biggest offered.1-1/8.
the factory sway bar (IMHO) is pretty much useless.
I have them on both cars and there is a massive difference in handling and deep cornering.

 

Sorry Mike..... Bill,Below has the the proper Link!

Thanks Bill!

Thanks very much!

 

So.got a few DM's about the sway Bar......
Not sure if SW T-Birds carry them any more..... best to call.
I did find Larry's T-Bird does have them... but the price has nearly doubled....
Anyhow..... seems they are getting harder to find.

 

Yes. that's the unit.. its as simple bolt in.... less than an hour for the installation.
I would place a phone call.
Reading a bit more into it... they say they are designed for 54-59 Ford Passenger cars.

 

Out in the sun.... let it idle for 45 minutes in 80 degree weather.. stayed constant at 180.
I am happy
Nothing Leaking.... I am happy
side glass installed. and the operation is flawless.
I am happy
Now waiting for my interior guy to install the headliner so I can install the from and rear glass.


Hurry up and wait.
ha ha
Very happy with the sound and idle.... very crisp and fresh.

 

So. I have a ton of used interior pieces.. the rear seat is in great shape. so I hit it hard and is gonna come out clean....Gonna rent a steam cleaner to hit the fabric..... The rear quarter side panels came out mint...

So while I wait for head liner.I will do the flooring and side panels....

 

I bet when they told you that you were going to clean up in the old car business , this wasn’t what you had in mind …Lol

 

Hahahah..... yea. cleaning up 65 year old DNA was not what I had in Mind Mark.
ha ha ha
Hence. the rubber gloves.

 

I have factory carpet Rich.

 

I was using a Brad Penn green 10w-30 Tim...... but it is hard to find around here.. so I am now using the Lucas Hot Rod oil.... a 10w30 or 40.....
It's a non detergent that is somewhat affordable.(if you can even say that today)

 

Well...... Progress continues in the Neater Beater....
Junk yard rear seats in and cleaned...(more to clean later).. Q-panels in test fit the free carpet.... final install and smooth out any bad wrinkles, Unfortunately there is a small tear in the base rear seat but ehh... I don't care... One day. there will be a new fresh interior... but not this year..... installed the Sills and used some old free expired Race belts... I think they suits the car.
Threw the bench in..... if I can't find any door cards to match.I will make my own in Black....
Headliner to be installed this weekend ,then the front Windshield and rear glass..
This is drawing close to getting finalized.
Oh yea. Safety third..Threw in a Fire extinguisher..... Seen too many cars burn to the ground.
