When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

I hesitate to add this! My 36 has been on the road since 1980.  Has 147K on it, uses oil but it don't smoke, leak or drip so I'm guessing the engine is probably used up.  It has never missed a beat and was 100% junk yard parts when put together.  The kids grew up riding in the back seat.  Been to rod runs all over the East coast.  She's tired but not quite ready for the yard...... 351C/FMX/MII/8".  Painted last in 87 after my wife was rear ended except the fenders afer the right front exploded at 75MPH......just could not afford Ford sheet metal when I quit racing and decided street rodding was my new hobby.  It only cost $100 compared to the 1 - 3 grand for Ford sheet metal.

Spotted this on Craigslist or offer up.  Thought you might like it. It's a nosebleed stance. Altered wheelbase makes is funky. Have a good holiday tomorrow.

Terry...the trim and sealant manual has virtually nothing forward of the firewall/cowl. What specifically are you needing......maybe in another manual??
I remember when assembling my car, not finding anything that showed the exact fitting together of the fendewell nose area to the fender/nosepiece. I recall at that time being surprised/disappointed that the trim manual didn't include any of the front trim/sheetmetal pieces.

RM,
Trying to help a friend in California sourse parts from a friend on Vancouver Island.  He is building a 1957 Courier and is missing some parts, says when he is looking through the grille he can see the front tires, so wanted a parts picture showing all the components needed to complete the project.  Any help is appreciated.

Terry, here are a couple of shots from the Parts & Accessories catalog. Hope that helps.

Undoubtedly missing the 8304/8305 inner splash panels. They're a common rust-out problem. I made mine, but I had one good enough to cut/flatten-out for a template. I seem to remember a decade or so ago somebody making a short run of those.
