This proud f'n civilian still says FTA! -Dave
It's odd to hear people say early Fords aren't a good start for a beautiful custom. That shot of the rear displays a hell of a lot of tasteful...
Former 13B Army cannon cocker, or gun bunny as we called our selves. I've also got the hearing to prove it. Service instills soul, dignity, self...
No I don't think you've broken any rules. I was just offering a heads up. If you haven't read the rules recently they're pretty straight forward...
Bump back to page one because I'd like to know too. -Dave
Just an addition to this thread. The '63/64 Darts and Valiants had the shifter buttons stacked with reverse at the top and 1-low at the bottom....
Okay, it makes more sense now. Part of my concern was if the bottom end was still loose, but the heads now sealing, the compression would just...
What kind of abuse are you planning on to end up with such a short service life? -Dave edit: Just reread your 1st post and if the junkyard 351W is...
You guys at TRJ are a real class act. It's also great that you brought production to the states. I can't imagine what it'd be like if your product...
Please do the right thing and contact TRJ. Everyone waiting on their copy will thank you. -Dave
How many subscriptions do you have? Or, are you a "local" distributor? -Dave
Seems I remember hearing / reading a long time ago about using a '40 Ford hood or two to make the boat tail. Not like you'll find many hoods in...
^^^ Congratulations! I've finally been able to start reading my copy and it was worth the wait. -Dave
Bump for the daylighters. -Dave
Looks like fun, but I've got to ask... Why do so many people think fat fender Fords need an independent front suspension? Is it part of the...
The alcohol free gas I bought last fall is still good. Good enough for the lawn mower at least. -Dave
Someone with a Hollander Interchange manual will hopefully chime in with an answer. -Dave
Got mine in the mail today, but have been to busy trying to speak with a human being at the Kansas unemployment office to actually look at it yet....
Something you said above bothers me a little. "...and wanted to break in a bit." The people you bought this engine from, did they already run...
Bump, -Dave
Just a thought, maybe go back to the earlier headlight treatment and keep the later style hood? For all those that just don't get it..., close...
Early dune buggy? -Dave
Take it back to that shop and tell 'em to fix their work. -Dave edit: hope you didn't buy a super cheap never work kit. The fix could cost a lot.
Have you checked the rear drums for wear and proper adjustment? Pads and shoes are considered "consumable". -Dave
With the cover in place no one would know what's there for a back seat. You could remove the cover when the 1964 feeling comes over you. -Dave
Better to find stuff like that now instead of later. You're picture makes me say "damn" out loud. -Dave
That seat, though cool, is a little newer than the time frame that's being aimed for. -Dave
Even drums with self adjusters should be checked and if needed adjusted regularly. Consider it part of your annual service schedule. -Dave
Because when you post on a sales ad, the ad gets bumped to the top. PM the seller. -Dave
I'll probably buy a M50 for my 325, if it ever gets that far, but from what I've heard and it's been a long time since needing a new oil pump, it...
