  1. Sorry guys i'm not a ford guy so I took a stab at the year. My boss who took the car in and ordered the parts I asked for knew the exact year. It just kills me that parts that could be servicable are now disposible. Calipers,wheel clynders, alt, starters and many more things are all core charged parts which mean you give them to someone else to rebuild. Why can't they sell parts so I can rebuild it myself?
  2. Tom I really like that
  3. I personally have had quite a few super guys that have asked nothing in return my #1 is disabled modeler and I ask try to repay the favor as best I can or just pay it forward casey, midnightprowler, joker (info) , raildogg, chief joeseph, ace garageguy(much info) which is just as good as trading parts imho. Sad part is I know I may be missing someone or a few people
  4. The other day this 64 galaxie came into the shop well two other guys tried to fix it. after both had failed I told them I needed a carb rebuild kit and my old motors manual which was burried away in my library of books (you see it sitting on the rad support). Both guys before me attempted to rebuild the old holley 1904 and failed badly. After fixing their screw-ups I got it to purr like my kitty Mojo. It made me realize that if half these guys didn't have their obdII scanners they would be lost. Granted I need it to more often then not but I do miss the old days. I feel I was born a generation or two to late. I feel bad that the art of carb, gen/ alt, starter rebuilds is going or gone (tying to explain the difference between a gen and an alt was lost on these guys. But on the other hand I felt great that I learned these skills and still retain them!!
  5. This is sick in a good way!!!

  14. I agree 100% and my 1:1 87 camarois proof the dude painted the front fascia seperate and there is an total differense from the rest of the car
  15. Okay so it's not just me. I like to attach it as much as I can and do body work like filling seems that shouldn't be there before painting. I'd like to still hear from a few more guys
  16. When it comes to painting bodies I like to assemble as much as I can and paint it all together. What is your opinion do you like to paint parts separately or all together ?
  17. Probably because the model doesn't have A/C like the the engine in the picture does
