  2. Dear John,Post your question at www.Earlyfordv8.org you WILL get all the answers you can handle.Take Care.diz
  3. Dear Greg,IMHO,Looks like one of two ram air inlets that would be located in the area of the turn signals in the bumper.These would be connected to the air cleaner by rubber hose and clamps.As to what make,Pontiac,Oldsmobile,could be anything from the mid sixties to seventies.diz
  4. Dear John,Are 39-40 Mercury rear fenders the same for ALL bodystyles?diz

  8. Dear HZ,Thanks for the pics.Almost 30 years ago i had the real deal,same colors without the shaker hood.The last couple of years there has been a PERFECT 70 Boss 302 at Hershey and it too is the ONLY correct color.IMHO.diz
  9. NOW this is a VERY INTERESTING question.This is NOT the same car you owned since you were seventeen,THIS is a recreation of a HIGH dollar piece.As for having the car judged,i guess it's not the first fraudulent unit to be shown but you could keep your mouth shut and roll the dice. I Say WELCOME to the club and did i mention WE love pics.diz

  12. Hey Bob,I just don't like the USED car shiney tire look that Armorall provides.diz
  13. Dear Mr.Wright,IMHO blackwalls are the way to go,nothin looks better than blackwalls when they are clean and do not EVER Armorall em.diz
  14. Hey,Neat car i had forgotten about.I remember the car in SS magazine.A 440 in that bodystyle must have run in NHRA B or C stock,i see the class winner decal on the rear bumper from an NHRA National event.Good luck with the sale.diz
  15. Dear Mike,You may not be a dealer but if your really in the market for a nice early Ford v-8 convertible you better be a rich guy.diz

    Wheel Balancing

    Dear PWN,IMHO i would think a wheel of that size should be balanced.A number of years ago i made a plate out of 1/4" aluminum to balance a set of 37 Ford wide five wheels on an old style bubble balancer i would think you could do the same.Take care.diz
  17. Dear Twitch,YOU sir have just said it ALL.IMHO the apples to apples comparison would be the Chevy II to the Valiant.diz
  18. Dear Twitch,YOU sir have just said it ALL.IMHO the apples to apples comparison would be the Chevy II to the Valiant.diz
  19. Dear Johan,I vote for the original glass.diz
  20. The pickup is a 1994 " So, why did the guy not have a new truck with all the security junk? Dear Wes,I have seen many OLD tow vehicles over the years that are in near mint condition cause they are ONLY used to tow,usually in good weather by trustworthy antique car folks and racers .diz
  21. Dear Paul,The Early Ford V8 Club of America resto books are a GREAT resource for anyone wanting specific info for a particular year.IMHO the 35-36 book is the best.diz
  22. Dear Mika,Post ANY of your Ford needs at www.earlyfordv8.org and you will get WHATEVER you need regarding 32-54 Ford cars and trucks.Hope this helps.diz
  23. Dear Johan,So many times a RESTORATION means a complete paint or interior.......YOU sir did it the RIGHT way,EVERY nut and bolt.I gotta tell you after looking at the pics when you first brought her home i would have given her a bath and driven the wheels off her.Thanks for sharing.Keep up the GREAT work.Take care.diz
  24. Dear Nick,Someone makes the CORRECT piece that bolts to the exhaust ports in the block and allows the use of a regular stand. I believe i saw it advertised in the V-8 Times.Hope this helps.diz
  25. Dear 365,All good thoughts,i believe most antique auto owners,restorers to be straight shooters.I think the honesty issue arises when the e bay USED car guy gets into the antique auto business.diz
