An update on the project. After fooling around with the 406 I began to question my sanity and the direction I was going. I was especially...
I get confused about paint costs. The HAMB cut off is 64 and the cars I had painted back then were either lacquer or acrylic enamel. Eastwood is...
I’m looking for recommendations on companies that supply original seat covers for sixties cars. Is it best to buy the fabric from some place...
Thats one of the best deals I have seen on this thread. Had I seen it and been close enough to look at it I would probably had it in my garage by...
My grandmother and grandfather drove their 1909 Model T from Texas up to Kansas and out to CA in 1909, then back to TX around 1914. Stayed in TX...
Battery cables can look good but have a thin black glaze that prevents contact. Bad ground or battery cable connection.
Good Grief. If I totaled up all the money I have dumped into the cars, motorcycles and automotive projects in my long life the money spent on...
The more I drive it the more I question that very thing. If it had a 390 there would be no question and I would just drive the hell out of it.
Kugel manifolds will go on when we make the engine change.
Yes, I did.
The last thing an old man should do is start another project. However, I have never been known for making sound rational decisions. Back in 1962...
My last time was 89 with my good friend Mark Dees. Running down the black line in a hopped up lawn mower would be the ultimate hot rod...
So would I and it wouldn't matter what color it was. I have always liked tubs and don’t understand why John Lee’s wasn’t snapped up long ago.
I’ve used Bill and he would be worth waiting for.

Driven gear comes in from the left side. I don't have a new gear yet and don't know if it will be any different than what I have. Does the drive...
That may be the problem. This transmission was recently rebuilt before I got the car and I believe they may have put the wrong speedo gear on it,...
Speedometer head and cable is fine. Everything works with a drill attached to the transmission end of the cable. Gears aren’t meshing. I am...
Good idea but I tried that and it was good. I am waiting for a new 18T gear and will see if there is something there that will work. I was...
I’ve tried searching but I can’t find an answer so I’m hoping to get some help here. I have a new to me 62 Ford Galaxie with a C6 transmission...
IMHO all 55 and 56 Fairlanes would look better with the straight customline chrome.
My cat is pretty good most of the year but she slacked off after last New Years Eve party. Seriously nothing beats a cat for keeping the mice...
Yes, I got it running shortly after the picture was taken. I have driven it a lot and have had no problems at all. I have driven it in all the...
