Ok I thought I started a build thread but I could not find it. So here it is.
Bought this old rusty body at a swap meet a year and a half ago. Plans are a 428 4 speed. It is going to be a track car. I would like it to be more period correct that the fastest. I have been busy and not much time to work on it so I have been acquiring parts. This is my starting point.
I am no longer wanking about the condition of my car, you have a lot of work there. Like to know how the shrinker stretcher works.
Just picked up a couple of el cheepo paint guns from Northern tool. See how they work, only need to work for this one project, I aint never doing this again
Cool project car you have there! Are the glass hood and fenders something you got at a swap meet? Or are they still being made And available. They look the same as my 63 falcon convertble fenders.
The 57 ford 9 inch rear end just bolt in? Or did you have to narrow it?
Is this car gunna have a straight axle on the front?
Man your gunna have one way cool gasser there!!!
9 in is a bolt in . No narrowing required. Yes I have a tube straight axle to install in the front. Hood was ordered form Crites in Ohio. I bought fenders off craigslist but they are also still available new. I am getting ready to get back on this project. Still have some metal work to finish on my sons Coupe to fast back project. Thanks!

I'm stuck. Bought a 71' F350 motor home with a 390. 77,000 miles. It is overheating but not all the time. Drove up a 5% grade about 3 miles long and it overheated. Two days later, same outside temp, drove up a 5% grade about 6 miles long. No overheating. I have replaced the thermostat. The...
Looks like I've been on here since 2014 and never made a single post. I'll just throw up some pictures and let you decide where It's going. I bought it for 700 bucks from a guy in Missouri who was thinking about scrapping it. It's thoroughly rotted
Hey, folks. I'm starting a new project as of today! I purchase a 1963 Mercury Meteor S-33 with a 260 v8 and 4 speed for $850. I'll be picking it up next week. I don't have a ton of information, as I decided that it was worth the jump once I took a look at it. It's very complete. I'll know more...
