Yep, I understand and agree w/ needing good brakes while moving the car around the shop/garage. I would check everything brake related from the master and booster, both front brake hoses and calipers and both rear brake hoses and depending on if the rears are drums or discs check the wheel cylinders/calipers. A lot of times the rubber seals in the wheel cylinders on drum equipped cars will develop a leak and/or the small piston within the wheel cylinder will become defective.
But I would check all these things to rule everything out since it's been sitting so long.

Mickey, any luck on finding any 2XL meet shirts? Carrfixr was asking.
thanks,

Is the master cylinder leaking anywhere? Do you see any signs of brake fluid leaks in and around the master cylinder? Something I was thinking is maybe the pushrod seals inside the master cylinder are shot and have come apart causing them not to hold pressure when the brake pedal is applied. Being that it has sat for 8 yrs I would remove the brake booster and master cylinder and take a look at those items for signs of leakage, old and expired seals and gaskets. I believe there would also be a rubber vacuum line from the booster to the engine, investigate that as well.
Just some things I was thinking of.

Yes the registration or hospitality folks at the host hotel should have directions from the host hotel to the show field available to those that need it.

Getting excited now that the show is only a month away. Guess I better wake the old girl up from her winter's sleep.
Any idea as to how many registrations there are?
As of this month there are 238 registered vehicles for our meet. I can see why some are waiting until after Charlotte to register for our meet in order to properly register for class/award you are seeking. I plan on attending Louisville after our meet and won't register for Louisville until I know how I do here. Looking forward to having everyone here in our region, just crossing my fingers for good weather.

A very common scam. Happens to people advertising in Hemmings, on Craigslist, even in some smaller car club magazines. Glad you didn't get caught up in it Matt.

Something similar happened to me while having a WTB ad in the buy/sell forum. I received the following from screen name tanthony: PCV valve Searching for a hex base non threaded PCV valve for my 1965 C code 28
We're currently parting out and clearing the garage with lots of original parts for sale. A number to call you is very important. You can e-mail me onCheers,Anthony ThompsonUnited KingdomI sent an email to him w/ no reply. Possibly another scammer out there.

Nice convertible. I like the color combination.

My guess is its for another type of car. Mustang cores have much shorter tubes where the heater hoses connect and are the same diameter. This one looks to have different diameter tubes.

Looking for a good original pair of interior kick panels (C5DB7602345/44CW) for a `65 Mercury Comet Caliente convertible. Color not an issue. Kick panels from a `65 Ford Falcon convertible will work too.
Thanks,
Matt

no joy, they didn't have anything. Still looking.

Thanks, I sent them an email.

still looking for a good used or NOS noise suppressor for the voltage regulator.

I don't know if they are the same but I'm looking for a voltage regulator noise suppressor for my '65 Mercury Comet. So your '64 or '65 Lincolns still have their voltage regulator noise suppressors? If so would you be able to provide a few pics?
thanks,
Matt

Drove my '65 Mustang on Monday to pick up my wife from work. It is always nice to get it and our '65 Comet out on the road.

Here's a '63 Sprint: http://www.streetsideclassics.com/showcar.php/cha/2119/1963-Ford-Falcon-Sprint
I know it's not the '65 your looking for but it's nice, maybe a little overpriced.

Just a suggestion, why not upload some digital pic's of the car? I think you'll be hard pressed to find someone willing to pay $15 just to see the pic's.
