Re: 91 birthday today
Happy birthday, Ron! I turned 65 today. I think I'll use you and my Dad (who just turned 89) As role models. Dad has never gotten the memo he isn't a puppy anymore, Ha!
God bless!
John

This may help restore some of your vision, Bob Glidden's pro stock Fairmont.

Re: Installing a wiring harness
Most shops around here are time and materials on wiring. So assume a labor rate of at least $75 per hour and 20 hours you'd be at $1,500. I rewired my 42 Ford with a Carpenter kit and I'll have to...

Re: 1955 Ford Fairlane

On Cathy's 55 Fairlane 3 of the front seat buttons were missing. I found some on Ebay but boy they weren't cheap. The tan ones are available if someone needs them. The packages had dates on...

Re: 1942 Ford deluxe coupe project
bssmnbll, I think you gave a great description of where the car is at this point. Not a show car but something a young kid would have had in 1960 or 1965. This one too has a 47-48 engine it (59 A-B)...

Re: 1942 Ford deluxe coupe project
The 42 is running well and at this point pretty reliable. That day the speedometer needle stuck and pegged at one point at 100 MPH! Honestly, I've never lubricated it and was surprised it worked at...

Re: 47 front floorpan
I think they go in the four holes on the floor portion about an inch or so before the curve starts to the firewall. Get the seal kit also. I had to trim it to fit on my 42.

Here is a picture of the floorboard from my 42. Should be the same 42-48 with most 48's being made out of aluminum instead of steel.
