I'm sure that is the Washington version

I think there must be 57 variations of this song, pun intended

My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord
He is coming round the corner in a black-and-yellow Ford
He has one hand on the throttle and the other on a bottle
Of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer!

Wouldn't it be one foot on the throttle?

427

Need to say more??

A local legend passed away a couple of months ago.  I've known his rep for more than 50 years.  His brother is liquidating all his FE stuff.  Complete 427, 2x4s, cast exhaust manifolds, toploader, plus a pile of FE stuff including OEM tri-power and built 390.  $10K.  Since the owner has passed, most questions can't be answered but I have met the guy and talked car stuff many times.  If I had a project dying for a FE, this pile would be mine but I don't.  I have a friend that has known this guy all his life.  He can answer some of the questions and he is a FE aficionado.  I had one of these engines when I was a kid.  It had upgrades and was a total screamer!!!  Later but probably soon, the brother will offer up a Model A two door sedan body.

Big day yesterday.  I snagged a '64 Galaxie XL convertible.  Pretty much stripped and rust bucket but still has console, shifter, Cruise-A-Matic, and power steering.  The box, all the linkage, cylinder, valve, hoses, and even the pump are the main components that I wanted.  Raunch Wagon may be getting power steering.  I asked the seller if he had anything else.  He gave me a complete, automatic shift, '59 column!  Getting the beast home just about wore me out.  Needless to say, it's still on the trailer.  Another days rest and I'll get it off the trailer and inspect my treasures.

I'm searching for 55, 56 or 57 Courier script emblems. Can you help?

That's pretty cool stuff. I didn't read the article, just looked at the pics, but I wonder what kind of shop time it takes to produce finished results. I would think it would be a neat paying hobby, but not realistic for a business to do one-offs.

[gasman826]

I've just barely started looking into it.  Getting the .stl file built or prepared for the printer is the time consuming part.  Time is money.  It is somewhat similar to designing and building a file for a graphic printer.

[RICH MUISE]

If I wasn't so old, and had the money, I'd look into that. I could learn the programming. Back in the day I learned/wrote  personal use programs for Pagemaker. I had a friend at the time who was a pro graphics designer for a printing company and got me a copy and tutored me.

[Lucky'57]

Apologies in advance for posting so much tonight fellas, I haven't been here in a while, but you guys are never far from my thoughts.

I'm thinking of changing my handle from 'Lucky57 to 'Lucky Duck". LOL Anyway, always respected and looked forward to you guy"s progress reports and coms. Peace out brothers. 57 Fords International Forever... And.. It's my birthday! If I knew I would have lived this long I would have....
