No, I'm glad you told me that there is a difference in the quarter panels. I got the $$ in the mail today so I'll be ordering the quarter panel soon.

SmithKid,
The quarter panel I've located is from a 65 Ranchero. Thanks for the info. I should be getting the $$ from the insurance company in a couple of days so I can order my parts.

Well Guys/Gals,
I have finally worked out the details with the insurance company on the Ranchero. The only way they will pay me for the value of the car is to salvage it. This means I will have...
Pbrown,

I was just given a 5-speed Tremic from a late model Mustang, I think 2001ish... I was told 1-4 works OK but, the gear box won't go into 5th gear, so I will have to open it up to see what the problem...
Got the brake lines corrected today. Didn't take any pictures because you really can't see the change with the firewall to tower bracing. The Ranchero stops real nice with the disk brake...

I made a template for drilling the holes for relocating the upper a-arms. I made it off the template you provided. It worked great! Thanks

PBrown,
You are absolutly correct. What a brain f*rt on my part. It will be easy to correct the lines this weekend. My son said the Ranchro stops OK, but as the pads start wearing he will also...

P. Brown,
That's a heck of a good idea. I have a gas filler like that that my friend gave me and I think I'm gonna make an adapter that will fit my gas can.
