  1. I’d like to have the interior and doors and subframe from that car, might as well throw in the fenders and body.
  2. Check with your local DMV. It could be worth while. Wisconsin, you just have to post a bond, for 2 or 3 times of the value of the vehicle, for a length of 5 or 7 years. If no claims, you get refund. If you restore it and then there is a claim, they do not get your vehicle. The most they can get is the value of the vehicle when bonded. The extra goes to court costs etc and that’s if it’s proven that they have lawful right to that vehicle. You can then recover that money from the one that sold you the vehicle. You can’t really lose.
  3. When I was a child there was a junkyard down the street. We used to play in the old cars that were back there. There was one particular car, something like an MG or small car like that, that I used to play in the most. That’s when I knew I loved cars. When I was 18 I bought my first car, it was a Vette. It was white with brown interior. I had to replace the clutch, throw out bearing and pressure plate. Oh yeah, it was a Chevette but it was my only Vette. My second car was a 1970 Mustang. Over the years I’ve had many. Now my forever car is my 1981 Camaro Z28. In my stall is 1966 Mustang, 1922 Buick 6/45 and my 1994 GMC Sierra.
  4. Grandma lived a block or so south on the Jersey side. This was like watching a family video, Thanks.
  5. Hello everyone, I am rebuilding my 66, first thing I wanted to do, now that’s back from paint, is controlling the outside noise. I understand it will never be as quite as a new car but I am curious if anyone has done anything to make a more quite ride in these classic vehicles? I did lose both pieces of fiberglass that were between the roof panel and the headliner. I was thinking of spray foam for that, Any ideas?
  6. Thank you !! I will find that piece. Thank you for the picture, it makes sense now.
  7. Hello everyone, I have 66 Mustang. It’s a 6 cylinder mostly original. My dash pad is rolling up from the windshield. The glass has been removed because I am having it repainted ( getting it back to original paint color). It’s been in storage for two years and this is what I see now. Is there anything I can do to reverse this process or do I have to replace the dash? I expect it back from the paint shop within the next 2 or 3 weeks.
  8. Hello everyone, trying to find reasons that my transmission just quit working. I was driving uphill, flooring it, and it was like car went into neutral. No noise no bangs, just quit. I have plenty of fluid and I’m sure my pump is working ( I cracked open the upper line going to radiator and fluid immediately started to come out). I have no drips or puddles. I’d like to find out there is something that became unattached before I spend a week dropping the transmission. It is a turbo 350 3 speed automatic w/o overdrive. Everything seemed normal until it quit. Was neither extremely hot nor cold. I only drive 4-5 miles to work. I do drive it like I am 16 but that’s what I’m supposed to do. Any advice that keeps me from dropping the transmission would be greatly appreciated.
  9. Thank you Mark, I think I am getting close to starting this project.
  10. are the bottom two rings oil control rings or are the top 3 for compression? Are these now new pistons or did you clean them? Did you clean the wrist pins or did you replace them?
  11. It would have to weigh the same for balance and I don’t think the additional volume would cause a performance issue especially with such low HP. I am not a mechanic but I try to see things in the basic form. That is also why I am looking for others input, ideas and personal mishaps from their own experiences. My alternative is to junk it. I will never be able to afford the “ up to $9,000” to have this professionally restored. That’s just the motor.
  12. What are your thoughts on boring one cylinder? Having just one slightly larger piston?
  13. I have to bore only one cylinder. I think only one piston will have to be replaced. I am going to do this myself in the driveway.
