Keep posting those photos! I want to watch your progress. BTW...where in the world did you find a windshield for a 69 convertible? I also see that you have the rare passenger side mirror. Does the car run?

Lots of good information here in the previous posts. I will only add one item, and JustCarbs already said it.... Since you are in this far, do yourself a favor (and anyone in front of you when you are driving) and change out that single line brake system to a dual line brake system. Not hard...

Hello, I wrote this over a year ago. First-hand experience. Sections A, B and C will pertain particularly to you. hope it helps... A Wrapup of Goodbye and Good Riddance

Hi fellas, So, I bit the bullet and bought a matching set of mirrors for my 69 Fury.As everybody said, the passenger side mirror didn't add much in terms of visibility, but the car looks more balanced, and I have a little bit more visibility than nothing. LOL That being said, anytime somebody...

oh that's a great idea! I had not thought that somebody would have been smart enough to have perforated the back of the door card .

Hi everyone, I am in the process of getting a passenger side mirror for my 69 Fury convertible. I'm now going to buy a matcher for the passenger side, but it looks like the only one that will match is the remote control unit. that being said, could somebody do me a huge favor and post a...

I too can vouch for vouch for Stahl's, as Carmine said, as I also live about 6 miles away from the museum. an incredibly interesting place. but I'm willing to drive especially if it's in October.

Hi Everyone, So here is a good one.I I'm changing the timing chain on big BigSexy. Whomever was in this vehicle prior to me was quite the hack, cuz I have found many amazing works. Anyway, I bought a spare timing cover, as one of the bolts was seized, and I was afraid of breaking the original...

so I think I found the smoking gun. I pulled the clutches out and the input shaft. I then separated the oil pump case into the two pieces, and removed the pump gears. The bottom section drops into the housing cavity very nicely. the top half however, doesn't want to go. I took a very very fine...

Thanks for sending the link. I saw this video on Saturday and gave this a try. I can only get a couple of threads on each bolt. With the aluminum threads I am afraid to tighten those bolts, as I don't want to pull the threads in the aluminum housing.

Hi Fellas (and ladies) First time transmission builder here, but longtime engine builder and motorhead. Transmission is my 1969 A-904 out of my 1969 Fury. Transmission was slow going into reverse. Decided to do a rebuild, and am following the shop manual and the Tom Rand transmission book...

Some thoughts on torsion bar unloading: 1) Try to get the dirt and crud out of the exposed threads if you can. Put some penetrating oil on the bolts and let them soak for a while before even thinking about touching those bolts. 2) This sounds dumb but be sure that you are unloading the...
