Re: Trying to figure out what color this is...

Thanks for the replies! I'm confused because the only darker hue blue option for '61-'64 was Academy Blue, and again, that just doesn't look like Academy Blue to me. The only other blue was a very light powder blue that changed names through those years starting with skylight blue. Wondering if this...

Trying to figure out what color this is...

Hello all! I'm really digging this color, and might use it on my unibody. Trying to figure out what it is. Seems a little light for Academy Blue to me but I've certainly been wrong before. Here are a few different trucks with it. Such a cool color....whatever it is ;) Thanks in advance! https://i.ib...

Seeking a ‘62 F100 Title (historical document)

Hello folks! I’m seeking a title for my ‘62 F100. I’m seeking it as a historical document (I believe that’s the legal way to say it ;) I had the title in my hand, sadly never put it in my name as it was still just a project. Then we moved to our new place and haven’t been able to locate it. I’ve tur...

Looking for passenger side fender

Hello all,
I'm looking to find a straight '61-'66 passenger fender for my '61 F100 Uni. The one that is on it is just a bit too far gone for the nice paint job I'm going to lay down. I'm located in the Des Moines area so if you are close by or willing to ship that would be great! Thanks in advance!

Re: '62 F100 Uni - yes another Crown Vic swap

Wow! This is beyond cool. Well done! Thanks so much for the shout outs! You've got some fantastic fab skills there man. These things are so much fun to drive. Looks like we both came in at about the same budget and build time. How cool would it be to see our uni swaps cruising down the highway toget...

Re: Air Conditioning

I just installed this kit as well! So far so good. The glove box thing is a bit of a downer but I plan to put a little drawer or something under the seat to make up for it. With my kit I ordered their upgraded black anodized knobs, a nice bonus with those is that they are back lit, that'll come in h...

Re: Did I get scammed on my widsheld?

Lesson learned for sure. Mine had no trim. That was one of the first things he asked me. And when he was putting it in he told me if I had the custom cab trim the install price would have doubled. I think he's fully aware he's the only guy in the area that'll install glass on classic cars and he's c...

It's not that!!! if your in front of someone who is doing a job for you, how can you be "taken advantage of"? If you have someone doing a job for you, and say "I want it done this way", how can you loose? You have to be in charge!! I'm paying for what I want, and that's that. Yo...

Re: Did I get scammed on my widsheld?

Man most of you want something for nothing. Why call some one if you can do it yourself. Most of you guys will attempt this then blame it on the "P.O." This irks me. If you can do it your self, then "DO IT" An example: A farmer had trouble getting his tractor started, so he call...

Re: Did I get scammed on my widsheld?

Yeah, that whole thing annoyed me. He originally quoted me $320, I then requested no sunshade and no green tint. He then quoted me $360 because he said he had to get that from someone else he didn't have an account with (who knows). Then once it was in it was $400. I replied "Oh, you quoted me ...

Re: Did I get scammed on my widsheld?

That's what I thought! Thanks for the info. For what he did I could have done myself, I didn't know he wasn't going to use adhesive or check for leaks or anything. Thanks again!

Did I get scammed on my widsheld?

Hello all. Just curious about something. I had a bear of a time trying to find a glass shop to install the windsheild on my '61 Uni. Every reputable shop turned me away as they said they won't do classics. I talked to a few local restoration shops and they gave me the number to a guy that they use. ...
