    How Was Father's Day?

    On saturday we took our son to the Variety charity "Boat for Hope". It's an annual event for children with disabilties to go out boating and local businesses, police boat officers, Search and Rescue, and volunteers dress as pirates and attack from other boats while on the tour of the harbour and...

    1966 'stang been stored for 20 years

    The brake slave cylinders will most likely be seized, which means that when you stomp on the brake pedal the brakes will most likely lock up and not release making towing or pushing it out of the garage a real pain. Just gingerly check them to see if you have any pedal movement. If there is any...

    When did Fastback production start?

    October 1964, I believe. They were building one for Goldfinger, but it wasn't ready when they started shooting in mid '64 so a convertible was used.

    Just got a Hurst/Olds! Now I need Detroit area help

    Those press photos look pretty trick. It appears to be a couple inches lower than your two. Is that the case?

    front drum brake locking up and driving me crazy!

    The passenger side wheel cylinder (if partially siezed) is resisting the hydraulic pressure and won't expand. Whereas the driver's side cylinder slides smoothly and applies more braking force. The actual pressure in the system is always equal, so the cylinders in the best condition always...

    front drum brake locking up and driving me crazy!

    My first thought would be a siezed or not pristine wheel cylinder on the opposite side as well. -Always replace them in pairs.

    shipping a vehicle

    It is quite common, and usually the cheapest route, to ship vehicles by train up here. I don't know if that is convenient or practical for you though, but you may want to check it out.

    I can just see them walking up the street in slow-motion with "Little Green Bag" playing in the background like in Reservoir Dogs. -Am I dating myself again?

    Can I start the engine?

    I'm talking about front to back rocking. A well mounted exhaust system with collectors (not doughnuts) that runs the length of the car provides ample support in my experience. The engine is basically an uncaged gyroscope if only supported by the two engine mounts. The exhaust works as a third...

    inline 6 to 289

    A previous owner of my car didn't replace the four lug front spindles. I had a wheel flange snap on me while heading home from work. Fortunately nobody got hurt. By the next day I was rollin' on five lugs.

    Can I start the engine?

    I think this is a given, otherwise it would be a real pain with no ring gear for the starter to engage.:D The reason I mentioned the rocking on the motor mounts, is because my fan is very close to the top rad hose input. You want to make sure you don't do an unexpectant coolant flush.
