Not much in the way of progress, I'm knee deep in a home renovation so I haven't had time to get back on it. I've put a battery in it and replaced the starter solenoid, but that's about all. Here's a pic of the bad side, showing the quarter work thus far. Still needs a final trimming then it can be welded up.
Zombie thread revival! Here's my '63 F'lane. 289, 3 speed top loader w/Hurst shifter, Holley 4bbl, Holley intake, Doug's Tri-Y headers. Currently saving my pennies for new "period correct" cheater slicks and front runners. On the back are the steelies from my grandfather's Galaxie.
Who has a photo of a wiper motor on their 62-65 Fairlane? I'd like to know where the ground wire is mounted.
1962 Sports Coupe. - Rust-Free New York Car. - 1963 289. - Check out my Website for more Pics/Details.
Here's mine. Has replica dual quads offered to law enforcement and racers as an option at the Ford dealership parts counter.
Here is a couple pics of my 62. I swapped the 221 and Ford-o-matic for a 1968 289, c4. Lots of work done to the 289, around 325, 350hp. Sent from my HTC One using H.A.M.B. mobile app
My 64 is getting a new heart this week minus the tri-power. Going back to the 750 Holley for a while.
Good catch John! That's for Safety. It's a Maverick Master Cylinder, that cost under $50. brand new. Hooked right up, and I installed the Brake Pressure Switch to a junction block. No issues with stock Manual Brakes either.
Here's a close-up... I added a new line from the front reservoir to a junction block, to the stock brake line and pressure switch.
I thought I would add my mine; 1962 Fairlane 500 Sport Coupe with a 260/4v and a 4-speed....original white with red interior car. This is my current daily, and its surprisingly comfortable to drive.
