I could tell you seeing the grille. 57 had single headlights and 58-60 all had dual headlights. Body style was the same on all these.

Yea, I have to say it had the double 2 hi 2 low beam headlights.
Nathan, how about that Shasta trailer?

Hi Guys....
Getting a trip home to Seattle planned. I will be there March 9 to March 18. That gives me 3 weekend days, and I have a couple vacation days I can also take during the week to work on the falcon. (I just have to avoid Th-Fri March 16 and 17.
All I have to do to get on the road is:
1) Get the clutch adjusted so it works. (I can't get it in gear with the car running and the pedal also stays down...even though I already installed a new spring.)
2) Get the steering joints completely back together. (I can't seem to get them to tighten up.)
That's it! if I can accomplish that I can have the maiden voyage!!!!
If I can get those done...of course there are several little things...
Any of my esteemed advisors up to giving me a hand one day?

It's hard to see that far into the future, but I'll do my best to come down a day.

Understand....just putting it out there so it can go on calendars or in the back of your minds if desired. I especially hope any of you who have been along for the ride so far can make it and I look forward to seeing you guys. AND I can't wait to finally drive this thing!

Don, I'm in the same boat.... Nothing on the calendar for now. I assume you're thinking of the 10th thru 12th. If I'm available, I'll make every effort to be there, too. Keep us updated please.

HI Guys, understand if it's still too early, but getting closer to my trip....so just putting this out there (especially for Roger, Larry, Gene...and anyone else that has participated along the way.)
Friday March 10th?
Saturday 11th?
I'm trying to keep these days open.
Clutch adjusted & pedal working, steering rods snugged up, and brake shoes adjusted and this car is on it's maiden voyage v2.0 ...

I think Carol and I will be back home by then. We are in Tucson. My brother added new Trick Flow heads, different cam, new goodies to add more giddy up. Spent this week installing motor, tranny, and finished it up yesterday. Started right up and took it for a drive today. WOW! My car gets up and goes, but lordy, this Fairlane tears up the road. Should be fun at the drag races this year. See you all soon. Larry

Roger, are you thinking Friday (March 10th) or Saturday?

Wow, that's a lot of whipping....my wife is going to give me a hard time if I don't get this thing going.

Whichever day the most people can make it. Either works for me.
People?

Either works for me but wouldn't Friday traffic be a pain? Which ever you decide I will be there. Larry

Doesn't matter to me either, but it sounds like we have at least one good reason for Saturday (traffic.) Going once, twice, three times...unless someone else chimes in, Saturday is it.
Kenny...those hub caps are "almost" done...hint hint...
