    Roof top sheet metal replacement

    With any luck, your existing rust might be minimal enough that sections of the roof could be cut out and patches of sheet metal welded in. If rust is more extensive a replacement roof "skin" might be an option for replacing the exterior sheet metal without cutting up the roof's supporting...

    How do I get old hardened tree sap off convertible top? 66 Polara

    Okay, tried the hand sanitizer, the white vinegar and the WD-40. Used a damp soaked cloth for a minute or so with each. Of the three, the vinegar seemed to work the best. Got most of the sap off the plastic rear window, but not all. On the top material, I only tried it on a couple of the many...

    How do I get old hardened tree sap off convertible top? 66 Polara

    Just bought a 66 Polara convertible. Spent hours today getting rock hard tree sap off the hood and trunk. Paint isn't great, so I used lacquer thinner on the body. But the convertible top and plastic rear window are relatively new. What is a safe method for removing old hardened tree sap from...

    QQ1 spray can

    Last time I went there, they mixed and filled a couple spray cans of Top Banana Yellow, for my buddy's Dart Swinger, while we waited. Only took about fifteen minutes. If you'll be making the trip to Winchester yourself, you might also want to stop in at AMK Products in Winchester, if you need...

    QQ1 spray can

    Where in Virginia are you? I have had rattle cans of original factory colors mixed and put in spray cans at Auto Body Supply in Winchester. The color is always a great match. They have original paint chip cards going back at least to the 50's, so you can pick the color from the original paint...

    HELP, identifying these parts

    Top picture is 66 Fury headlight doors. Bottom picture is 66 Fury passenger side front fender trim. Best guess for the middle picture is trim for the package shelf for the back seat of a 66 Sport fury coupe (and possibly 65). The first picture below shows the headlight doors and the side trim...

    Wheel Covers?

    Don't know what you still need for your 66, but here's a link to a Craigslist ad for a 63 Ford. Before I get the "WTF" responses, let me say that within the last year, the same seller unloaded three different 66 Sport Fury convertibles (one a beautiful restoration, one a decent driver, and one a...

    Original paint color versus color change on fuselage cars

    If its a rare highly desirable muscle car, a color change will certainly detract from its value. If its not a highly desired high dollar car, and the color change was done well and it was changed to a color that was originally available for that car in that year (plum crazy purple or top banana...

    Tow Mirrors?

    I remember we had the exact same mirrors for my dad's Country Squire when I was a kid.

    What about Maaco? Please respond if you have ever used them.

    I think it all depends on the individual Maaco shop that you choose. The one closest to me is owned by a guy who loves old cars. I heard that the painter that works for them also paints for a local rod shop. I didn't want to spend a lot on a paint job on a 67 Coronet hardtop I have, because the...
