Awesome to see it in final form and so happy to hear you got to drive it too! I enjoyed being involved in your project. :cool:

You have the cap off and trunk open to dissipate fumes. Rhetorical question, where will the fumes go if you put a vented cap on the filler neck in your trunk?
Liquids expand when heated, fuel does...
Not at all Roger, just too many demands on my time and brain cells these days. Do enjoy reading your posts, always good.
I checked and that material is milodyne. One of the other issues with poly...
Too much to read to catch up right now. IIRC, Ford's name for the advance system used on the early Falcons was Load-o-matic.
I did like you Roger, ditched the original and went DII when I built...
It's alive! :BEER:
Nice to see and hear your engine run Don, must be really happy to reach that milestone.
Read of the strut rod bushing issue, and best I can recall, the 60 and early 61s cars...
In case you didn't get it by email...
I wouldn't attempt to save that control arm, it will be very hard to get the twist out, if at all. Due to their critical importance in vehicle suspension,...
A few tips when you do the mirrors. Mask the area around where you think they might go before placing a mirror in position. You need to be sitting in the car as you would be while driving. This is...
Not really, a lot of these clips are no longer produced. Might find some at places specializing in restoration type hardware, but they don't usually come cheap.
I check in once in a while. ;)
The clips in the bag I labeled attach to the pinch weld under the sill plates where the harness runs to the back of the vehicle on the driver's side.
Don - I replied to your email, but upon looking at your pics I'm pretty sure I have at least one of those license plate brackets.
As to the dipstick, I don't think it matters. Here's why. Your...
FWIW, here's what's posted at FordSix Performance with respect to Classic Inlines website:

Wilbur that's an automatic choke manifold, see where the heat tube was broken off in the center of the manifold? You, or someone else, has fabbed a heat stove on the front half of the manifold as a...
Replied to your PM. Primary difference between the OE manifolds is the 60 - 62 used a flat flange for the exhaust mounting surface vs the donut style for 63 and beyond. If your 200 came from a 70...
I had my machinist weld the divider in. Some people just insert the divider and rely on interference fit between the manifold or header to hold it in place, but many who did this later complained of...
Attached pics shows the clearance issue with the Clifford p/n 53-2112 dual outlet header.
Comments from the .html file of a webpage I had up for years (now gone) dating back to 2007, "In an...
Classic Inlines branded headers were not made by Clifford, Mike had outsourced production to another manufacturer. CI did sell the Clifford product years ago, but there were known clearance issues...
Check this source Don - http://www.amkproducts.com/
View the catalog .pdf, go to pg 143 and look at the rubber coated J clip. I think this might be the one you need, don't know of any other source...
I use the "pro" version (3M8088) all the time, works well, sticks well, can remove easily later without destroying the moisture shield. I don't have a problem spraying it on. If worried about...
Home Depot has the 3M Super 77 (essentially the same product I use) in a 16.75oz spray can for $9.99, check your local store when you get the plastic sheeting. That would be my first choice vs a...
Can be Roger. The spray adhesive I use (3M 8088) has an adjustable width fan I find easy to control, but maybe I just have that part down. :D
Not to be contrary, but Ford did not use strip caulk...
What I used when I rebuilt mine and what I'd use to do again. Would have to go to the shop for the exact product number. I recommend it for the door panel moisture shields too, much better than the...
Car looks nice sitting in YOUR driveway Don. [thumb]
A few of what I call the "reveal" after masking removed. Not color sanding this one, it's not necessary and I don't have time before it goes home next weekend. It will be de-nibbed and buffed. :)
A few pics. ;)
The tape on the decklid hinge came off one of the front aprons, compared to the 54yr old OE paint, it's really close.
Fluorescent lighting doesn't show the real color.
Since I don't do upholstery, I rely on referrals from people I respect. This shop was one of two I was referred to, the other being the most expensive shop in town which I didn't even bother asking...
