Thanks Bob! It's looking like the 60/61s are tweeners. The view of that part kit was nice. It does show that the bushings are different, good to...
Anyone, Bueller?
If you have drawings or expertise, please share.
Excellent! Thanks MGTStumpy. I may have to do some improvising as you've done. Had hoped to do a "set and forget" but it may not be in the cards....
Finally getting back to assembling my '60 Starliner after being away from it for quite awhile. Time to mount the body back on the frame and it...
Man! This 56 is damn near perfection! I had a 66 bird and love those interiors. Great choice. I'm wondering now how that back seat would fit in...
Great idea for a thread. Reading some of the posts helps put my build's sporadic nature into perspective. Good luck to all here, may you soon be...
No, that warn't mine for sale. Mine's resting comfortably waiting for funds. Been building some way-off-topic German cars in the mean time....
Stunning work, Dan. Thanks for sharing.
I'd jump on it, and I'm not a huge fan of the 62s. Looks killer with 5-spokes...
The line I'll always remember from that show was Tom telling Gurtie to take his car and "drive like you've never driven before!". She replies,...
Jayride, Sorry I missed this, been away for a bit. The guy to see around these parts is Stan the Ford Man. Shipping to the East coast might be...
I couldn't imagine cutting up a car with that history. Even if you fix/paint/sell it to finance a hardtop, it'll be "the one that got away"...
Another survivor here. Just wanted to add that the odds are just that. I have an uncle that was given a 5% chance of survival, and that was...
What HE said! Totally inspiring thread. Subscribing to have something to look forward to Mondays.
For Sale: 56 Fordor. Paint good, but it's a smoker...
So... The Star is back in it's cubby hole with all the rust gone:). Danny and Max did great work and were a pleasure to deal with. The next job up...
Still lovin' this thread. Thanks Jack (and the rest of you gents) for the great stories. Don't worry about saying too much, some of us can't get...
Pics coming thru loud and clear. Cool ride, cool background on it.
Great photos and info CleanCut! Very Ed(sel)ucational.:rolleyes: Thanks for digging them up.
About time I chimed in. Lately most all my spare moments have all been directed toward my daughter's high school graduation, but I have managed to...
I can definitely say that my Grandma helped get me into cars and racing. My brother and I called her "Hot-Rod Granny". She wasn't a demon, but she...
The large, Chicago-based aerospace company I worked 14 years for finished outsourcing my group last month. While I do miss the paycheck, I have...
Norm, cool story about the wind tunnel. Ford actually cared about how these winged wonders drove and did quite a bit of high-speed testing with...
I don't know... Not many details but it doesn't sound like it was a car worth risking your life for. A. He left the keys in it. B. He was able to...
Glad you're feeling alright. Be sure to follow the advise above and get checked out. That hit looked bad and it can take a few days before you...
I'm assuming the promotors of this event aren't spending their own money to put it on. Leaves one to wonder where the money is going for the more...
The H.A.M.B. - where men are still men! That is no small feat - I can testify. Did 1100 miles in one day a year ago with my daughter, bringing...
Really love this thread (I guess since this is where the Starliner will eventually end up) Amazes me how colors just "work" sometimes. Sometimes...
Agreed, but I just can't get interested in the new NASCAR. Seems a sham, since the "SC" stands for "Stock Car". Really wish they'd return to...
