Very nice. Would love to buy a car like that but would not have the time or patience it takes to do it right. Your attention to detail is to be admired. Can't wait to see it I real life. Should be easy since you are just a town away. Just curious, was the painter reasonably priced or...

Are shrouds factory parts or an aftermarket options. Mine does not currently have one but I bought one with ford factory markings and part numbers. How much difference does the shroud make?

I passed on a 68 Shelby vert in 98 for $4500. It had all the original parts but needed some love. Lots of great cares that most of us passed on because we can't see into the future.

Are you talking 14, 15, 16 , 17 or 18 inch wheels. I think fitment changes with size. For example, I have Eleanor look alikes and the fronts are 17x8 with 4.5 cm back spacing and the rears are 17x9.5 with 10.5 CM backspacing. Nothing rubs and they look right to me. Here is what they look...

What is the correct temperature running range for these 351 C motors?

I had a 3 row in my 65 here in Memphis and it never had a problem in Memphis heat. I have a 3 row in my Mach as well but havent driven it much. Will remedy that soon. On a side note, my 65 did not even have or need a shroud.

Looks like you have your work cut out for you. How hard is it to find a good motor in OZ?

I think he said it like it was. Rusty mess for 1000 bucks take it or leave it. I prefer that to bullshiz. My seller said interior was perfect, I think the holes in the seat and carpet were not my def of perfect. I bought it because my car kept saying buy me. My seller was a toooool.

I will call tomorrow and make sure I get single groove valves. Thanks for the tip. I plan to have all the parts that are taken off put in a box in the trunk. I do appreciate all the tips and advice.

Valves are stuck, not lifters. I think the top end might have either been under oiled or hot. It was built to run and I think it was sold when it stopped. Who knows what was done. I just know several valves were stuck and this car might have been a bit abused.

We finally know what is wrong. I have several exhaust valves stuck open, a couple of bent push rods and some rebuilt heads in the works. Not sure how valves get stuck but I suspect it was heat related and ream size related. He said the heads look to have been worked to produce a pretty stout...

I suppose 8 percent is not too bad. Add sales tax when you register and it can get a bit more pricey in a jiffy. I would buy it if it is the car you like. I bought mine because it looked like I wanted it too. I did not care about all the other stuff. did not know enough to care.

I like it. If you are not a purist it is an excellent sort of fake Mach 1. 12 grand would be a good price but it is dicey at the auction and don't you have to pay a buyer premium?

Thanks for the quick response. The car currently has a one piece carpet and that is why I asked. Not sure how excited I am about replacing it with a 2 piece. We will see. It has a big tear on the drivers side so it will be changed one way or the other. thanks

I like those. I also like the Procar vintage racing seats.

Several questions about period correct carpet. First. Is the car supposed to have 2 piece or one piece carpet. Two, Should it be 80/20 loop or the fuzzier looking stuff that is not 80/20 three- Does carpet fit well over Dynamat that covers the whole floorboard.

These cars are not very expensive when I see them around here. I wish they weren't so ugly.

Best rally ever went to was an all bikes rally in Germany. It was about the journey and not the brand. I ride mainly by myself because of the peace and tranquility.

Sorry, wife would not have a choice on the Camaro. It is a great model and deserves to be made new. It is a nice car as it sits.

While you are busy photo shopping, can you change my wheel cutouts to black and bright lime. I don't like the grey on the Eleanor copies. Think I will make them black. Love the Gulf oil leman paint scheme.
