Good that the car is getting some love. I'm pretty certain I'll be in the middle of a project when I pass way, too.

Got called out for work - sorry. Made it just in time for the 10:30 deluge. Good turnout, considering. Was the orange ranchero yours?

Excellent, thanks. I'll make an 18-gauge plate and put some sealant on for the install. Even I can handle that level of sheet metal work...

Thanks, Larry. Was it just a steel plate? If so, do you remember offhand if it was screws or bolts?

Okay, sounds good. See you there.

Well, I'll show up early, so if anyone decides on the night before they want to go, I'll see if I can get us in one spot. Last year a couple of random Falcons showed up from over here somewhere.

Does anyone know what kind of plate covered the parking brake access panel on the bottom left frame of my '63? Looks like it took 4 screws or bolts. I think I'll just use an 18 gauge plate, but......

I'm now about to take the front of my motor off ( again ) for this exact problem. bad mechanic. Oh, wait, that would be me...

Please bring your worst car. It will make me look better.

" ... and now, the rest of the story."

Good story. Nice to hear. I think with our 24 hour bad-news cycle, we forget that most of the people on Earth are decent. And having a cool,old car helps.

I was driving back from Wisconsin...

It's official. I'm going to be in PT, and will show up with the blue '63, sporting Phil's spiffy new paint job.

As of. Sunday morning, I'm still over on the east side. I'll be back mid-day, unless my maniac wife wants to find some more curvy road. First outing will probably be the Rakers show in PT. You...

Yes, this is my '63. The '62 is going to be "put down" this week. The frame is really far gone, and I can't sell it to anyone that might go nuts and try to drive it. ( I jacked it up and the left...

I've got an aftermarket chrome fan, and I can't see it either. Too bad we don't have a turbine spinner on them, we could paint that. I used an import car's shroud, and buried it so I have to work...

I think I'd remove the wasps, but then it may be a good theft deterrent.

I think the plastic clip is made so it does a little "wrap" around the lock shaft, but that's the only thing there. ...

I'll be back in-country on the 20th, and will send you some pictures.

I'm getting ready to take the '62 apart due to inoperable frame rot, and it has a solid engine and three-speed. Let me know - I may be able to haul it over the next time I come over to see Phil.

I loved my red/white/blue hubcaps so much that I was jumping through hoops trying to transfer them to 15" wheels. ( Front brakes, you know? ). I wish I'd known you were looking - I have a set of the...

If you end up with a driveline issue, the guys over in SoDo at Drivelines NW can do a good job for reasonable money, and TCI can fix you up with a bell housing, if you don't want to sort out a used...

" I'm schizophrenic, and so am I! "

Don't worry too much - I'm pretty sure it's never going to be done. The new look has given me a kick in the pants about the engine compartment wiring and the brake master cylinder, though.

It's a 1932 Ford color, but applied by someone with a bucket-load of talent more than I have. He's sworn me to secrecy until he's done, so I have to let him put out the first pictures on the whole...

I'm changing time zones with depressing frequency these days, but I'll attempt to block out the day.

Under the watchful eye of the Falcon Whisperer, the lines on the old girl are improving. I'd like to take credit for it, but I'm a sheet metal idiot...
