So that hinge didn't work, door wouldn't open wide enough to get a gas nozzle in without hitting it so I needed to cut slots into the body to have the hinge ahead of the fuel door opening. It should...

So here it is mostly done. The small diameter filler goes through a hole in the frame rail behind the shackle. That way it goes into the tank at the top rather than half way up the side. The capless...

Guess I should update this. I made the tank and it's in the car. Just working on the filler now. I have a stainless capless 1 1/4" diameter one from a 2015 Fusion and will adapt that. The hole I made...

Turns out moving it 1/4" closer to the door panel area makes a difference. I laid inside and pulled the door closed to see where it pinches.

I got new door seals, they seem to fit nice but had some extra length where it meets back by the door latch. But when closing the door it pinches the front of the door seal before it could be forced...

Pretty desirable rear end you have. 3.25 is not real common and the 63 is narrower than the others. If the tag is still on one of the carrier nuts you can decipher if it's the original one.

An 8" on all V8 Falcons (except 70 1/2 Torino bodied ones with 351 and 429's and the really rare 1965 Canadian 271HP cars)

With the electrical one you simply need a better alternator and nothing needs to be mounted to the engine. There are also very small belt driven compressors. Most aftermarket kits use Sanden's for...

Here is a different looking and smaller compressor ....

And here is that for sale too Electric...

I generally don't like the clutter of AC but have grown less fond of driving on 100 degree days without air. A setup I was looking at is electric... like the AC on electric cars. Sean Hyland had...

Any updates on the project?

Not only in traffic but with an RCMP car coming the other direction (right in front of the old Oakalla Prison). I assumed i'd be going into that prison and for some odd reasson the cop never even...

They fit, the bushings are just slid inwards towards the forward curve compared to where the sit on Mustangs. Mind you some aftermarket ones may be different and have the curve in a different spot....

i only knew of the Offenhauser one and I think Clifford Research had a version too. Edelbrock must have only made a few.

Wow, cool... I never knew Edelbrock made one, must have been available only in the 60's. I've seen other brands but when I had my 65 convert there were never any at swap meets or in Hemmings. I guess...

Met a guy I used to work for 45 years ago on the weekend. I worked for him restoring cars, and he tells me that in the 70's aftermarket weatherstrip came like that, not molded . He'd have to cut them...

I will have to get new seals. Need the beltline ones anyways... ones i got are actually for an Aussie Ute which has shorter 4 door doors.

I think my picture isn't very clear because the seal is bent inwards. The corner is more square than it appears. I have a spare door and it has the same seal. It looks like original but maybe not,...

My 62 Ranchero leaks water in from the door seals. In checking the problem out it seems the door jamb itself is the issue. Door seals are original, and still soft and not torn. But there is a gap at...

Imagine following this up the hill going south of Ashland Oregon! Or maybe being ahead of it coming down the other way! Even an optional "big" 170 and the wider 9" drum brakes would be woefully...

I have an aftermarket Stewart Warner one that should work. Or adapt a factory one. I will have a fitting in the bottom for the fuel outlet.

I despise having a fill cap in the box floor and want to use the stock cap location on my 62. I also moved the springs inward so a normal tank doesn't even fit any more. I figured on using up the...

Yes never underestimate how badly stuff can rust back east! In Nova Scotia i'd see pickup truck frames broken in half, 1/4" thick steel rusted through!

On the "Sally" wagon, I had those same wheels for my 62 Ranchero, I love them, problem was I could not get the 17x10 1/2 rears in and out of the wheelwell with disc brakes with air in the tires or...

Wow, very cool and neat swap. I am a purist too, made sure my 65 Futura convertible was the correct Wimbledon White despite the tube chassis and 427 set back under the windshield.
