These are fun, but pain in the ass cars. Their front controls arms are different from a fairlane as well as rear springs. If you want to change...
66 Riviera....
Great house, awesome shop & die hard build!!! The simplicity and high level of craftsmanship truly shows in your shoebox.
Owning a similar car to yours, when you remove the radio. (pull knobs off & remove nuts behind) there will be a hole. It has two tabs that stick...
Nice Ford! Awesome photos. Thanks for giving me the feeling of being there.
It has only taken 8 years and owning this car twice for me to lower it. Brief specs: 3 inch blocks and 2 coils lopped off the front...
WOW! Amazing craftsmanship.
I dig it. Looks like you'll be learning the better side of the hammer and dolly set soon. Good luck. Take your time. And ask for help!
Correct! I was searching for someone else to conclude my thoughts.
These ebay parts are more than likely from The American Shifter Co. (The Hoffman Group)
It may to too customized for your build, But I really dig this! [img] Rik Hoving Pic
I would have to agree with Deto on this. When I first got in to building/working on traditional styled cars I was the "elvis impersonator". Now...
I have it and hate it! Do not buy, save up the cash and go with a Hurst Indy.
Looks good! I've always loved those trucks. Keep it simple.

Roof of my car. Plain & simple.
[IMG] Nice car! Great event coverage!!
You could do it similar to Eli's car.
I think you should paint it a different shade than satin/suede/flat black. Think of it more as budget built and not "rat rodded". Anyways good...
Close enough?
I definitely know the feeling. Luckily my last car sold went to L.A. Good luck with your future projects.
Another classic Gene fade. Looks bitchin'
WE should plan a caravan maybe meeting up at the Gee Creek Rest stop or something in Vancouver.
Lookin' Good! Good luck with the build and deadline. 60's are my favorite. Especially Marky's
Going to try. Replacement glass or not!
I think your pinstriping looks killer on the old gal. Keep up the good work!
Looks like it's time to bust out the good ol tape measure. But here's a handy link https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html
Ms. Metal is also a high school metal shop teacher IIRC from her feature some years ago.
You could have the distributor body in properly but the shaft could still be 180 degrees out.
If you're really looking for USA have your old shoes relined. Ironically it's cheaper a lot of the time too.
