Seats - installed new (to us love craigslist $50 bucks for the pair) racing style seats. Had to build brackets and the result is wonderful. Next - final body and paint. Then interior reasembly and get her done. Hopefully all over my son's holiday break from school. I think all we need...

Finally got the front end suspension rebuild done Sunday, aligned yresterday and test drive. Purchased new racing style seats, carpet and sound deadner and started gathering the materials for the finaly body work, primer and paint over Christmas break. Then install the interior - and beg the...

Shudder eeeeewwwwwww

Well Sir, welcome and congrats on starting your project. My son was 13 when he purchased his 66 coupe, that was 3 years ago. He stripped every thing off it to a rolling shell and we worked through all the systems to the point where today, at 16, he is driving his dark gray primered 66 coupe...

Sounds as though you are heading in the right dirrection. Dont worry about it. If you think it will take 3 months to get the car on the road, tell everyone 3 years, because that is probably a lot more realistic. Lets face it. For the vast majority of us, this is not our 40 hr a week job...

Unpacked the front end rebuild kit that the man in brown delivered 2 days ago, looked for a new spedo cable and rear leafs but since today is homcoming for the 16yr old owner - all this will probably have to wait until next weekend to actually install.... He is one lucky boy, his date AND...

Thanks, V-8 pretty much stock other than paint, tinted glass, seat belts and 12 volt system... yes I still have to original am radio in it. I get lots of loos, thumbs up and folks wanting to talk about it. Last week I had two cops in a tahoe "offer" to trade me straight up. I told them...

That one is mine - 51 ford F-1 frame off resto. Real pretty too. Suppose you want pictures of it too... All stock except the paint, tinted glass, seat belts and 12 volt.

Ok, so we installed the engine, trans and torque converter. But I have a new question. How much AFT should it take to fill the c-4 completely? We put 1.5 quarts in the converter before we installed it, and another 5 in through the fill tube, and it is full. I dont know why, but somewhere...

[k, I think I did it. I will try to take some better ones later today. Greg

Well I will do my very best - there is a reason why I work on old cars. Ok, spent the last 30 minutes trying to upload pic's. The system will let me upload pics from the "my pictures" file in "my documents".... but all the recent photos are in the "Olympus Master" and I cant seem to find it...

Good Morning Folks, With all the help I have already recieved from this forum, I feel a bit guilty, like I am taking advantage because I have been of little or no help to you all, but none the less, here I go again. 66 Coupe. I-6 and Automatic. The transmission was sticking - or the...

And I am sure that I could search the formu but I am at work and dont need to get busted messing around online... only a few min left for lunch. These all pertain to a 66 - 6 cyl automatic coupe that has been in the "project stage" for a rather long time, we are the 3rd owners since the...

The more things change- The more they stay the same.... When I first found this thread it was April of 07 and we had just purchased for my then 13 yr old son a 66 coupe. Andy was well on his way to knowing that he had met his true love, I was introduced to several of the "grizzled board...

Do you still have those springs? If so I would be interested in purchasing them for my sons 66 6cyl coupe. Thanks, Greg

I found these wheels on craigs list and I am considering getting them for my sons 66 mustang project. 4 lug mustang cobra wheels he has the original steel 4 lug wheels and another set of aluminum ones that were in the trunk when he purchased the car. Unfortunately the aluminum ones, while...

Hello board, we have not been active for a little while. Life and all its distractions have placed "rusty" on the back burner for a little while. Anyway we are now back on it and have a question for those of you who would know far more than I. Is there a steering column that we can swap...

We have already purchased the GT rear and are planning the Shelby front. Body parts we still need are the passenger front fender and front valance. We are also looking for a shelby type scoop to install. We will not be changing the trans unless the auto craps out, then it will be another...

He is looking for a larger tire diameter in the rear than front. Think back to the 70's and 80's when you would put on air shocks and the largest tire that would fit. His car, with the 6 cyl and all will probably not turn them, but his goal is to "make it look so fast, nobody will even...

Ok folks, You all have helped us out much already on my sons 66 coupe but to re-cap before I ask today's question. We are restomoding (slightly) a 66 coupe with a 6 cyl and automatic for him to drive in 2 years when he turns 16. We have taken care of the floor pans, lowered the seat...
