    It runs and has went around the block,even with a good brake pedal nothing happens so everything is froze up.

    I found a box in the trunk with two reproduction parking light lenses and two NOS tail light lenses.

    Gave it a quick bath and found that the crank pulley and most of the bolts for the front of the engine are missing so a trip to the local old junkyard will happen soon,rear springs are sagging and found the old springs from a 65 Country Squire I had a few years ago to put in it.

    Now that I have the real thing I would like to have the model or will I have to settle for a promo.

    My 65 custom 500 just needs too much body work that I do not want to do so I bought this 65 Mercury that only needs quarter repairs,it has a fresh but never fired 390 and has a unusual 3 speed on the column with overdrive. This is going to be the old car I drive on long distance trips.

    There is one like mine in another color that they think is worth more.

    That 32 Caddy I got must be the common one made,seen a sedan and a 2 door convertible that the sellers were wanting way more money. Both of them had a starting or BIN price over 200 but I got mine for less then 25.

    This arrived today.
  9. junkyardjeff
    Got a Danbury mint 32 caddy off ebay and will post pics when it arrives,not exactly what I go after but got it cheap so I could not pass it up.

    If there is a 97 and up p/u or 92 and up crown vic kit made they would have a more modern trans then a AOD.

    I noticed it did not look quite right but will give it a try,I got the switchers to look a little better so I will see what I can do with this one but probably will not be until fall when I can get to it. I am going to collect needed parts for it over the summer.

    After this virus BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH cools down I will go looking for a kit to get a 289.
  13. junkyardjeff
    I think I am going to get that latest kit and just keep the rebuilder the way it is,I was wanting to find a 289 to drop in it but have not found one yet.
  14. junkyardjeff
    It came with broken suspension so since the frame still has the spots for the original its going old school and with a flathead engine.
  15. junkyardjeff
    I picked up a rebuilder that I think was the streetrod version,wanting to do it as a traditional hotrod so I picked up the stock suspension off Ebay but is this kit as bad as that switchers 32 Ford I just finished.
  16. junkyardjeff
    Picked up a 64 Thunderbolt rebuilder and would like a stock hood and was wondering if one was made or time to remove the tear drop scoop.
  17. junkyardjeff
    I was hoping to get this one done but once the weather starts staying nice I will be outside in the garage so most likely will be in the fall,I have two that are close to being done and will finish them first.
  18. junkyardjeff
    Paint messed up so its soaking,

    Found a set of 5 lugs so on to be finished.
  20. junkyardjeff
    I thought I had the six lugs traded for a set of 5 lugs but the person wanting them did not want to wait a couple days for me to find something to mail them in so I will use them on a future old Chevy truck project,I will look through my parts stash and see if I have a matching set of 5 lugs.
  21. junkyardjeff
    Little Debbies are cheaper so I get them.
  22. junkyardjeff
    I built one a couple years ago and those 70s wheels and tires had to go
  23. junkyardjeff
    I was hoping to find a six cylinder from the AMT 60 Chevy p/u to make it one of the cheapest 57s but painted the engine yellow to be a 265 so it will have at least one option,trying to decide to use the six lug rims or find some 5 lug rims since its not going to be a Black Widow race car.
  24. junkyardjeff
    Its starting tom look like a car now
  25. junkyardjeff
    In the last three years I had to put a dog and a cat down and still miss them very much,would love to get another dog but I still work and not home much so last fall got another cat. Its not easy to let go and their memory will be around forever.
