Thats what I call thinking outside the box. Well done. I am in the process of converting some old drive in speakers to house the speakers for my sound system and using an old suitcase for the amp...
If you are deciding to get rid of the 3spd, I may be interested. I am wanting to put a stick in my wagon...[thumb]
Let me know.
The 24 is the group size of the battery and the "F" is a reverse post battery, meaning the 24 has the posts in one direction on the top and the 24F has them in the opposite direction. The Exide...
I cant remember for sure what I got mine off of but dont remember doing any fab work on them to make them fit my 61. I was pretty sure they were from a 64-66 Mustang but figure they are pretty...
Does anybody have any (or know where I could find a good deal on some) used spring loaded hood hinges (probably 64-65) that they have extra? I put some from a 66 Mustang on my 61 Ranchero and I want...
Made progress tonight. Got the heads back on but figured I should get in before it got too late. One step closer.
I can one up you on the pull a plug and have a v7 trick, in high school, my buddy had an AMC Hornet with the 6 cyl in it, threw a rod and sent a chunk out of the block. In auto shop, we dropped the...
The goal is to get the 260 back together by the end of the week and try it out, see if it will run (wish me luck). I figure, $30 worth of gaskets and a few hours worth of work is worth the gamble. ...
OK, so I started working on the wagon and I am currently trying to resurrect the 260 that is in it (blew a head gasket about 12 years ago and drained and parked right after it happened). ...
You know, I never thought about doing something like this until now. These cars kinda have to grow on you anyways since they aren't your standard Mustang or Camaro anyways so why not, I think it...
There is a clone of that car down here in Southern Oregon. It was on a classic car lot for sale for a while but now the guy uses it as a shop car and rolling billboard for his car lot.
Well, I got her done in time for the cruise, had lots of fun and even started driving it around town for fun again. I went with a similar color as the first time I restored it 20+ years ago but went...
Finally, I can say yes, I tried the old caps on mine and they fit just fine.
I bought some 15" wheels for mine and they fit nicely. I ordered them in a 15x6 (cant remember the offset but I will see if I can measure soon for you) from Early Wheel Company in Morro Bay...
Yeah it is blue and the wheels are just in ruddy brown primer right now. I needed some rolling stock under it and couldn't make up my mind on what color I am painting the car and the wheels so I...
Lets see if this works, I just changed my profile picture to a photo with the wheels and caps on it after I was able to lower it. (and no the wheels are not staying that color, I haven't decided what...
I haven't tried the old hubcaps, I decided to run a set of 40 Ford style hubcaps. A little different than the dog dish caps but I liked the block style Ford lettering in them. I will try to put my...
Thank you. I appreciate the input. I dont know if it will be feasible but it sounds like a good idea (but dont they all?)...
I just made a reply post to an old thread that I made looking for information on the old wheels as well for mine. I had some steel wheels custom made by a place in California called Early Wheel...
I know this is old and I couldn't get any information on these so I had some made. I had some 15x6 dual 4 bolt pattern made (since I have an 8" out of a Mustang II and factory drum up front for...
I am getting ready to transplant a motor in my 61 wagon, it currently has a 260 that the previous owner put in that needs rebuilding and I have no idea about the trans. I put a 302-C4 in my 61...
I ran into this while putting 351w heads on a 302 (except they had dowels), they make larger shaft bolts with the correct thread size for the block from what I remember. Check ARP and see if they...
I was wondering if anybody here has the specs of the factory wheels for the 4 lug wheels. I have a mismatch set of wheels on my new project and am looking to find a set of 14" rollers for it for the...
Congrats on the Delivery... I know how it feels to be looking for a certain ride for a LONG time.. I myeself just got the car I have been searching for 15+ years for....
