I always ask for the seller to send me a photo of the item from a specific angle with a note on it with my name and the current date. If they don't send it, it's a scam. Also, if they won't use a payment system that has buyer protection, it's a scam.

Nobody?!?

It depends. Have you ever restored a car before? How good is your free labor? What condition was the car in before the bodywork was done? What parts were used to replace all the sheet metal, suspension, brakes and fuel system - new old stock, Napa, Rockauto catalog, stuff found on eBay? Is...

I have an AM radio - currently on eBay. It's a '73. If you want it, I can pull the ad. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256021895570

I guess the first question is why do you want to remove the pedal support? It isn't necessary to service the parts you say are leaking. There are a lot of things to unbolt to get the pedal support out. Here is a rather busy exploded view of the support and associated brakets. And the...

I'll bite. Send me the box dimensions and weight and I'll send you a shipping label.

I have 4 Magnum 500 wheels that have identical stamping on the inside of the wheel rim. They are genuine Ford parts as the center section has the satin plating instead of the hard chrome like the rims, and there is a Ford logo on the back side of the rim. Before I send them off for...

This will make more sense when cars start running 48V or higher power.

I would suggest having the alignment checked before doing anything else. For brakes, make sure they are bled properly and that the calipers are not sticking.

Any photos?

Looks like you shoulda bought the other guy's dizzy for $40 plus shipping.

The kid was just born. If the current trend of younger people putting off getting drivers licenses continues, a 67 year old car may be the last thing he wants when the time comes. Not to be a wet blanket, but something to consider. On the other hand, 16 years is a long time. You can learn...

There is supposed to be a filter where the crankcase ventilation hose enters the housing - could it be for that?

They provide attachment for the headlamp buckets.

You can make a mold of the texture from the uncracked parts of the spokes. When you fill the cracks, press the mold into the filler before it sets. Apply some fiberglass mold release wax on the pattern before you press it into the unset filler. If you are lucky, the cracks will be in...

Do any of those parts have a Ford logo or part number molded into them? If so, Ford's licensing fees are probably contributing a significant amount to the price. There is a 1:12 scale model of the Ford GT 40 made by Trumpeter. The box that says the car is a Ford GT40 makes the price of the...

Every time someone says the price is "too high" means there is an opportunity for competition. The fact that there isn't anyone stepping up to provide that competition is telling.

Wiring is a way different animal. Wire as a commodity is relatively cheap, but wire that matches the description in the vintage wiring diagrams isn't, depending on the pattern (dots, dashes, slashes, stripes, etc.). Another complexity is connectors. Modern harnesses all use the same...

Are these new old stock parts or are they used?

I would stick as close to OEM as possible - that would be a broader market I would think.
