    Unrestored California Special value?

    Was driving thru a neighborhood the other day and saw this car, just drove past, no idea if it runs or its overall condition or if its real or a clone. The paint was faded and it is red. Not current with values.

    Wow, joined this place 22 years ago, hard to believe the internet is that old.

    Hoping to get my 40x60 shop built this coming year. I got my new driveway up to the house poured (115' long, tapers from 40' wide at the garage/gate to backyard to 20' wide about 20' from the street. 47.5 yard pour), but I had to give back my free Kubota tractor I had borrowed, still have a...

    Should I mod the 302 or run the 390?

    you can get 500-600 hp from a 445 kit pretty easy, 4.25" stroke, uses a BBC aftermarket rod. For the future. ;) There are a lot of heads out there now for the FE, maybe some Cammer heads?

    Progress Thread The "grátis" 1966 Coupe - final sheet metal repairs

    I lived in a rent house with a single car garage and had one 110V outlet at the front of the garage. Unfortunately the panel was in a closet in the middle of the back of the house which was about 1300 sqft. I had a 5hp 60gal single stage oilless compressor as well as a Lincoln AC crackerbox...

    Progress Thread The "grátis" 1966 Coupe - final sheet metal repairs

    You say there are already plenty of outlets, but are they all on the same circuit? I have 8 outlets in my garage and one convenience outlet just outside and they're on two circuits. I'm planning a 34x36 garage addition and each wall will have at least two circuits on each wall, 4 gang boxes...

    Progress Thread The "grátis" 1966 Coupe - final sheet metal repairs

    Picture from further back of the panel? Looks like a soffit above from the shadows? If so and it's not too unsightly in your opinion, you could go up from the box on the outside of the house into the soffit, use an LB to make the turn and head to the garage. Looks like you may have 5 spots...

    289 Rebuild with 2bl to 4bl

    You have pretty mild climate. As far as exhaust, I'd look into getting some shorty headers with a thick flange at the head and the ball socket type outlet. That's probably what I'll put on my car.

    Basket case or worthy project.

    Now THAT"S something new. Vinyl over PVC?

    Basket case or worthy project.

    Oh I'm WELL aware...I would replace the whole inner, use my skins. Doesn't matter, they're not offered. Can't find doors, if you do, they're rusted out on the bottom inner and I've looked for 20+ years (not so much in the last 10-15). It looks like it's new doors for me, or patch the holes...

    Basket case or worthy project.

    Adding door handles back to the red car would be easy, replace the doors. My '65 not only has the front speakers cut into the door, it has rear ones as well.... Grrrr, and they are rust free doors. You can buy skins, but not inners. Here in OKC and Dallas, nice done coupes are in the 12k-18k...

    I'm back after a long hiatus.... Not sure if there is anyone still around that even remembers me....

    My 1st Mustang was a '67 vert, bought it in Albuquerque in '87 from a girl. She'd been restoring it, new red interior and new white top, engine and trans rebuilt, it needed body and trim and paint. It was originally a aqua car with aqua interior, but had been painted black... with a brush...

    289 Rebuild with 2bl to 4bl

    My 289 had a 1850 Holley and ran good, I picked up a 4100 Autolite to go back on it.

    289 Rebuild with 2bl to 4bl

    Ran good but had a knock? Did it knock in park? Auto or manual? That intake will have a carb pad thats good for a Holley only I think (or an Autolite).

    I'm back after a long hiatus.... Not sure if there is anyone still around that even remembers me....

    My right quarter is toast, jeez 27 years ago I bought an early 65 car for $400 just for the new sheetmetal he'd bought for the car from the doors back.

    302/347 Clutch

    I always ran the 3 arm pressure plate, never cared for the softness of the diaphragm.

    Progress Thread Foot Hill's supercharged efi Fastback

    You could take a sand bag and mallet to dome a piece of sheet metal, then just hammer the walnuts out on some flat plate and weld that into the apron. It wouldn't be seen much from the engine compartment and it'll keep road grime out of the engine bay. Looking good!

    Repair some rust

    Hate to say it, but you're not going to have a forever fix, the issue will still be there as time of repaint and it'll likely be worse. You've got to get rid of the rust, which means it needs to be cut out. Yes there are epoxy bonding agents that would mean no filling, but they require overlap...
