Fenders.....

[Jeff Norwell]

The plan now is to bring these and put them on the car.....Tom the painter wants to gently set the sheet metal up with the engine/transmission in the car... More later.

Looking good    I like the cast iron headers, 406 or 427?

[Jeff Norwell]

Not sure Jim..... could be early T-Bird 390-maybe 406.......

My pal Rob made some simple and cool linkage.....My plan is try to use nothing but Ford parts on this car.....0 aftermarket.(trying)

what year are the valve covers. I've got the same setup I'm putting together. I have the three deuce also. I like my finned covers but there setup for a cap and pcv. hope I can get mine looking half as good as yours.

[Jeff Norwell]

62galxe,

As far as I know(and someone here will know) I believe the block letters V/C are 1960-1963 352 issue?..... not quite certain..... everyone I know and see runs a "Thunderbird Script".. which are very cool....but my car is not a Thunderbird.
I also had some very rare FE Cal Custom 7 finned aluminum covers...which dressed up the engine nice with a 3x2 Air Cleaner.....but ... A young Ford Designer in 61 or 62 working on a mule car would not have access to those.... trying to stay ALL Ford...... if possible.

Valve covers are typical 58-64 or 65, design changed after that.

More curiosity, I see the oil fill pipe in the manifold is removed and plugged and with no holes in the early valve covers how are you going to add oil?

[Jeff Norwell]

Jim..I will be using a oil fill tube from another FE.

Sorry Jeff, I don't mean to drive you crazy with questions  Just my mechanical mind notices these things..

Heck No!.. That's why I'm Here Jim.... gosh.. Most of you guys have been there,done that.... and I Look to you guys for guidance..I am in no way any kind of expert in ANY of this junk.... I am a very visual guy and I just want an all Ford off the shelf look and feel.Good or bad I guess.
