thanks . As time goes by I will be researching and searching for parts.

Well,it aint done but it stays in my shop all the time.The trunk,rear fenders and all are repaired,new windshields, back glass was removed and repairs made to the body and all reassembled. driverside floor boards are about half done. I got started hot and heavy on the model T pickup and stopped on t...

I could not believe my eyes when it said it was august of 2011 since i had last been here. I knew it had been a while but dam- I am getting old! :shock: Anyhow,The past couple years I have not been able to drive my old 66 very much.My left hip and back pain are greatly intensified if I drive it much...

I would have been arrested for a little more than trespassing.I can not believe how folkes get away with crap like that.With the truck sitting in plain site,a title in hand proveing who's it was,he should have been able to pickup his truck and left without incedent. What has this country came to?Whe...

Sheesh,how lazy can ye git? Not even cut back a few bushes? ANd does it have a title? Buy it,get the title and leave the truck maby? cutting bushes would help.I would bet it belonged to a elderly family member that had allways said"I just overhauled the engine and then the brakes went out so I ...

Thanks! I posted a picture of my shop in my photo album on here.I am working on my old 74 Towncar I have had 27 years as of Aug 10 2011.It has some electrical issues and a exhuast leak and such.

that is good! You know there was alot of threads and trucks I used to keep up with.But the 1 that stands out was a fellow that found a 4 door truck somewhere in the woods in Alaska and played heck gitten it out because of ice and such.I wonder what became of that truck? It seems it was a oil company...

Howdy,I got to wondering about Slick 60's the other day when I found a Slick Stock tshirt I had bought years ago. I thought I would look up the site and come in. I am putting a short cut to the desktop this time so I wont fergit! I got smart and got rid ef the wide wheels on my 66 and put the factor...

Well,it has been several moons since I came by here.
I read the last thread I posted to and your handle was mentioned back in 08.
Glad to read your projects are moveing along.

Ok I will get a couple pictures today.I had some trouble a while back when I tried to post a picture here.but I will try again tonight.Thanks for the help so far.

I wonder who mandated it be torn down? I have yet to understand where everyone's rights go when something bad happens and FEMA comes along.People are suddenly dumb animals that can be forced to do whatever they are told. I cant help but wonder though,Sad as this event was,,what would push someone to...

A few weeks back a fellow gave me a powersteering gear box and pump that he felt like I could use on my 66. It looks to be the correct pump.The gear box appears to be a couple inchs taller than the manual 1 in the truck. I am trying to fiqure out if this box is the correct 1 I can use with my stock ...

I had a extra key made for my f350 the other day at the local hardware store and I mentioned this to him and he said he can make them for about 65 apiece.How I dont know.that still is high if you ask me for a key but at least cheaper than 157.

Well,I dont claim to be a expert but I will offer what advice I can. Be dang carefull with a open flame torch near the firewall of a car as you may get something hot nearby not relizeing it. You will have to use a tiny tip or you will just chase the holes around and never fill them up.I had 2 small ...

As you know I like doing that sort of thing.Draggin in old vehicals,and anything else that is supposed to burn gas,and get it going again,long after someone else thought it was no good and told me I couldnt get it to run!

Yea,that is a different part of the country and a different type of people.They dont mind getting off their backsides and doing what it takes to help others and themselves.Mark my words,they wont even be offered half the goverment help that new orleans has gotten or demanded.

It may have kicked the bucket.
It is allways slow for me to load because I am on hand crank-dial up.

Well,I hooked up a small gas tank,put on 2 new radiator hoses,and added coolant.It holds it's own water. I then installed the tires leaving off the rear drums cause I cant get the park brake cable to let go.I ran it about 5 minutes or so,drained the old oil,put in fresh 30 wieght. I was just going t...

:D Well,This evening,I installed 6 new plugs.and made up 6 new wires.I checked the fireing order,whoever messed with it last had it way out of order.BUT :oops: I forgot to get the mark on the balancer lined up so I could see where 1 wire went to hook it up and it be timed.So the first try,nothing,se...

Well if you heard some coughing and hollering about 9 pm,that was me and my Pontiac.I filled the carb bowel,and it has terriable spark plug wires on it and the plugs are all grudgey,but it fired and ran about 10 seconds twice.So there is life in that hunk of iron.Has been parked under a pine tree si...
