It looks like yours is fighting you all the way. I know that feeling.

The cold holding everyone up. Some more than others. It sucks and its frustrating. Those rubbers look like brand new Fabrice. Great job as always from you. Tomorrow is a new day new challenge

lollerz  My Mustang IS my wife. I am happy to be single. Freedom is a underrated pleasure :D Would LOVE a Starliner but only 983,310 made 61-62. They go for big bucks. I agree 61-62 are sex on wheels. I think i prefer the bat wing tail fin. I was looking on Ebay and there was none for sale. That...

HaHa you just got to hire a translator now

Congratulations David. What a fantastic job/mission you have completed. Car looks great among its contempories

I had 4 differant companies quote me £10k for bare metal respray. Then i chanced across a sprayer in his 60's that asked all the right questions about lines  and finishes. He has quoted me £3,5000, I asked around and he is supposed to be one of the best locally. Always good to plan ahead in the...

Test fit first. Remember that you can buy repop foam from one manufacturer and it will be differant from another. The covers are the one thing that will be a constant once you purchase. The burlap will help protect the foam from thin strips of metal sinking into the foam which will happen over...

This time next week will be 20 degrees so better working conditions for you. You wouldnt have purchased the floor pans if you didnt have the confidence. I am sure you will do a excellent job with due diligence. Spring finally coming so it should step up the work rate for most of us all. Hope you...

Thank You for your feedback. The other thing i noticed on your car is the spring perches are grey or silver and not black. I am trying to stay true to original but as you know origial parts/NOS are expensive. Where i can restore i am. Where there is repop that looks same i will use. The judging...

Vinnie when you remove the nuts you will probably find the soft rubber washers behind are either hard as plastic or disintegrated. AMK do the bolts and rubber washers

I just took delivery of my new package tray. Not going to be fitting it for a while so i cant give feedback on how it will fit. I can say that it does come in green which is a miracle in itself. The shelf comes flat but has 3 grooves along the length to enable it to bend in behind the rubber...

You going to have to wear sunglasses when you approach the car. Fantastic finish. When you coming to do my paintwork

Great storey Steve. I see by the picture Don C posted the Starliner is also sex on wheels. Maybe worth serious consideration after the Mustang has been restored.

I have heard the phrase flathead on earlier Fords. Is it the same as the Ford flatheads? I did hear that Buick were more prone to rust which is why i stayed clear of them. That bubble top is definately designed at a time when the space age was getting into top gear for the Americans. The dash...

The shop that sold me the pump are going to be doing all the work. If anything goes wrong they are liable :D

Found this 1961 LeSabre Bubble Top. What a beautiful car this is :P  Very Tempted :D Even though i havent a clue what a nail head is :shootself:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/1961-LeSabre-BUBBLE-TOP-364-V8-NAILHEAD-CALIFORNIA-CAR/273550741265?hash=item3fb0e50f11:g:ngwAAOSwIbtb5L2c

Cant beat fresh metal  :D  They will look great when fitted :D  Be good to see them installed. Keep us updated

Thank You :D  What is the difference in the differant Saginaw power steering boxes. While i was looking there seems to be differant letters after "SPA" Saginaw SPA-T/S/A/U

You have done wonders David. I just hope i have the same fire in my belly when i reach your age. By the sound of things its just the easy bits inside to finish it up. I am sure you will make your deadline for sure

It transpires the fluid around the power steering box was fluid that had run back from the pump when i was driving the car. Its been cleaned off and it has stayed clean. Looks like the issue was a faulty flow control valve in the brand new steering pump which erupts from the filler tube. Now the...
