while I have not replaced the rear quarters, I am preparing to replace the front surround. In all cases I have read, it is suggested to put the moldings in place, door latch etc so that you can get an idea of how the door will fit relative to the quarters. it has been commented that the...
header bolts
not sure about you, but in my case almost all of the bolts that hold the front trim pieces to the header broke off.
to get the pieces out, I took my die grinder and ground the bolt down flush to the header and I tried to make it as level as possible.
next, I took a center punch...
you mean like the interior of my c5 Z06? To each their own.....I like the modified black/red and believe it or not, it was modeled after my C5 Z06 interior........oh well.......some like it and some don't......
Good thing is that you recognized that it was similar to the mod red interior...
thanks for the compliment on the car....it is truly a labor of love....only way I could ever justify the money that I spend on it....
You can get all the parts you want and need via Glassworks. Glassworks :: THE HARDTOP SHOP
Right now I am wondering if I did the right thing taking on redoing...
My good friend Jeff came over this afternoon and we dove in head first in disassembling the hardtop. We started with watching the Glassworks video on you tube on how to remove the header stainless steel.

Then we got into getting everything apart.....it is not...

got busy with getting the 37 Ford back on the road.....took extra weekends....it is really a tight fit....if you want to change the serpentine belt or the blower belt you have to take the front end apart and pull the radiator to get to anything....it is tight...in my case I had the motor redone...
my 64 365hp did not really run very well with that heat riser butterfly valve between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe. Car usually didn't want to idle worth a darn until really warm.
Then I bought side pipes for it and the butterfly valve was taken out and straight through to the...
Question 2
if I am not mistaken, and my memory may not be the best.....but on my '60 you can put your hand up there from behind....look on the floor behind the drivers seat, you will see that there is access....or maybe it was from the gas tank area....but look around that area.....
a mercury switch tied into a pendelum makes for an interesting switch for what ever you might want to do should the car be jostled or put on an incline onto a flat bed.....hmmm...what would be good to tie to a mercury switch?
I have made some other stuff for the garage walls and decided I needed to add a banner for the '63SWC. When I get it on the wall I will post some photos.....in the mean time here it is on my floor....
it is actually 74" X 39"........
How do I do it?
I take the photo in high resolution...
you have a tough decision.....
First, either way if you stick $30k into the car, if you add the value of the car now and then the additional $30k, you won't get your money out, IMHO. 1963 verts with NOM in nice shape go for about $40k+/- $6k. Your car as it sits now, you could probably get...
