    Blasters ruined my Hood - URGH!

    The sandblasters totally ruined my hood. :mad: There appears to be a huge diff in price between repro (150-200) and orginal tooling (400-500). How risky are the repros? Any suggestions on where to buy a repro if I can't find a decent original from a parts car? I am not going for a show car...

    Front Drum-Disk Update: Best Place to Buy

    Cancer in my floor

    Hey - I am no expert either so take this with a grain of salt. I am sure it would help if you could post pictures too. How big are the holes, I mean sometimes you can have very small holes where rust has started but it isn't really cancerous yet and no serious structural problem. If that...

    66 wont crank, acts like battery is dead

    I had a similiar problem with mine but its an automatic so probably won't help. It may trigger another thought somewhere so I posted anyway. There is a sensor on the shifter which requires the trans to be in park before it would start. Took me a long time to figure that dumb thing out by...

    Pulling an engine.

    OK - this sounds really stupid but don't get in a hurry. Drain all fliuds!!!! I was so excited to get started my brain stopped working. BTW - no matter what you do, you will have fluid in the torque converter. Get a large flat pan at autozone to contain the fluids. Its early, but i find...

    head clean up & prep

    Thanks. It came with a rebuilt short block but I don't know the history of either. All appears well and the head was on the block. I'll call the machine shop and see what they suggest too. Thanks

    Got a rebuilt 6cyl head for my '66. Took out all valves and testing for specs, everything seems good so far. But, its been sitting around for some time and one intake port has some surface rust on it, not in the value seat however further back. Should I just take a few cans of breakcleaner to...

    Right Dupli-Color?

    Is Old Ford Blue DE1621 from Duplicolor correct for a '66 6cyl engine? I see two other Ford colors Dark Blue and a lighter Blue. If you don't know Duplicolor, any other suggestions for the right color from another maker?
