  1. Yeah, so it's called a transfer. T Decal was kinda close. I wonder if they're available anywhere. Painting the same color as interior would suffice but I'd like to keep as oral possible. And that detail is quite a statement
  2. I remember reading something somewhere that describes it as like a decal where you rub it on the panels
  3. Does anyone know a forum for just old Lincolns? They're quite unique. I'm doing a full rebuild of my 54 Capri and have, and will have many specific questions.
  4. It's hard to see on these pics but the left side of dash curves to the door and both areas have the gold color on them. The right side also.
  5. I'm trying to find what was used on the dash and parts of the front door panels. It looks almost like a decal of gold leaf. Anyone know if it's available or should I just paint instead?
  6. Putting the problem in the topic probably won't fit and then it's worse than being vague, a half finished sentence
  7. My 317 y block is being put back together by my mechanic and he's ready to put the oil pan back on but there's a oil tube from the pan to the pump that's damaged from taking the engine out. It has to be on the outside of the pan and bolts go through it, then the pan and then thru the pickup tube flange in the pan. I need to find another outside tube so everything can be put together. The ends of the tube has a flange on one end and a threaded piece for the pump end. They're welded to the tube so replacing the tube would be too difficult for me. Anyone know someone with parts or an engine they're parting out? Will not be an easy find
  8. Found out that the compressor is a Lehigh V93 unit. It seems to still be working. My mechanic spun the pulley with his finger over one of the nipples and it was making pressure. Think that's a good sign that it may not need rebuilding
  9. As stated above I live in southern Arizona. I took some pictures of the innerds of the engine to prove my point that just trying to start it would have been a mistake without seeing the inside. As you can see it has rust in the water jackets( I believe that's what the water flows thru). One of the jackets is almost completely blocked on the head gasket. Rust and debris in the cylinder wouldn't have been very helpful being scraped around in there. I can only imagine what's in the oil pan.
  10. Fyi, I'm in southern Arizona, Sierra Vista. The car was stored in Tucson for the 57 year siesta. I did disassemble the interior first thing cuz there was a ton of mouse activity in there and it was just plain old nasty. Seats were almost completely gone, carpet covered with crap. Plus I wanted to see what was hiding beneath the carpet, rust-wise, which luckily,was none. I am also hoping to change the front brakes to disc and power brake master cylinder to a two line system. I was just thinking that the rubber in the steering and suspension has been in this dry climate it's whole life, that they would be needing to be charged out. Haven't really looked at them yet. We want to change the color of the car from the green to a yellow with dark green roof, so that's another reason I'm pulling the motor out. Been taking a lot of pics while disassembling everything for reference to put it back together.
