Thanks steinauge! My new instrument glass and housing came in today. Amazed I could find someone selling just that without wanting to sell working...
So after plenty of fun and soul searching... I have finally decided what this car needs, what I need, and what we are both going to get. I think...

Thanks again Bob. I saw the inner fender... My left one is pristine... I need a right one. (And a battery tray for that matter) Sent an email to...
Great idea... I was planning on having to remove the fresh air ducts... I like your plan much better. Too bad I was rained out yesterday... Maybe...
So lately I've been working on structural components under the hood... Mainly the radiator core support as it is barely adequate to support the...

Yes that one is certainly nice... I wonder how much the whole thing would go for...
Awesome leads! Can't thank you enough Bob. Stopped by HF this morning and picked up my new MIG 180... With coupon got it for about the same price...
Thanks a million Bob! Unfortunately Owens did NOT have what I was looking for... A shame... I wanted to do business with another HAMBer... Anyways...
Checking with Owens salvage about a radiator core support and another hood... Seem to be hard to find... I may try having the existing core...
Great point Steve... And thanks for the info! I definitely can see the benefit from a second spring. I figure I can rig something up.
Thanks for the input Gene. I figure I'll rig something... Was just hoping to set it up "right". I know on my truck, which is a later model, has a...
Thanks Bob. Yes mine has that linkage through the firewall too. Was there a spring action on that portion or did it just pivot freely?
Thanks for the input Steve. I'm going to reference that carb model... It is a Holley that looks to be from that era but may not be oem as you say....
So here are a few more pics of my linkage... I'm beginning to think that maybe what I'm referencing may not be right for my...
Will do, thanks Bob. I have the arm through the firewall. I'll send you a pic detailing what I believe is missing.
Thanks. I'm really too young to have these problems... At least that's what I'm told. Ive just about caught up with what I needed to do around the...
Yes and no... After my last string of posts I wound up in the ER again... This time for heart issues. Thankfully they are under control. I have...

Thanks again Bob. Yeah I'll be joining Ford Barn and the sub forum. Haven't gotten around to it yet but it's on my list to do this weekend....
Lol thanks mjlangley. Even if she's a rusty pos, she's mine. But I will say that is exactly what the voice of reason in my head has said... Focus...
Beautiful car Bob... I'm jealous :)
Thanks for the leads Bob! I'm in the market for a radiator support... Mine is ok, but is rusted out along the bottom edge. Also my driver side...
Thanks steinauge. I'll probably be picking up some of that primer for my worse off areas. I bought a cup wire brush only to find I got the wrong...
Thanks again Bob! I want to make sure I stop the spreading til I get to it. She's a diamond in the rough I know. I found some pans in a Dennis...
Thank you steinauge. One would think that I would focus on the mechanicals first but I'm trying to keep the body from going south too quick also....
Very good question Peanut... I was thinking the same thing! That's a sweet ride Bruce. Thanks for the inspiration! Bob, I wish I had started out...
