    Hagerty insurance

    I have had Hagerty for several years. No claims. The only negative is that the price continually goes up. I switched from State Farm Classic insurance several years ago when a friend just completed his 34 Ford Pickup street Rod. He took it down to the local Perkins to have some coffee with a...

    Your Favorite Abody

    I'm kind of partial to these for some reason....:-) If I were to add another I would have to buy my all time favorite, a 1962 two door Valiant to put a 408 and five speed into.

    mopar madness in colorado??

    yes, I have bought several engine parts and a ring and pinion set from John Wolfe. He used to be in Eaton but must have moved to Loveland. He used to have a young apprentice but that must have ended for some reason.

    W2 setup and hood clearance

    W2 heads with a Strip Dominator and a 70s dual snorkel air cleaner fit under the hood on a 64 Barracuda. The hood insulation touches the lid of the air cleaner, but it fits without issues. I would think it would fit your car as well. Mount it all up and check clearance before you slam the...

    Early A Torsion Bar.

    You will like that setup. I have 1.03 torsion bars and factory sway bar with Bilstiens on my 64 Barracuda and wouldn't do it any different.

    Restored car pet peeves

    The corrugated radiator hoses are at the top of my list. They just look to me like the guy was in a big hurry and really didn't care all that much about quality.

    People Guessing the Year Make and Model

    I couldn't begin to count the times people have commented on my 1964 Barracuda and then proceed to tell me about their (insert what ever relative you think of) who had one exactly like it but theirs had the Hemi.

    Ignition and Door Keys

    I only ever owned one wagon. A 65 Dart. It used one key for doors, ignition, and tailgate. All the rest of my 64 or 65s used the pentastars for door and ignition and round for the trunk.

    Two tone early A dash

    All of the 63, 64 & 65s I have owned have had the top of the dash painted a flat/ matte version of the same color as the dash. I've not seen one that had a flat/ matte black top surface unless the dash was black.

    Insurance Co. says car must be in a locked garage

    I tried to get everything I own under one insurance company a while back and since my house and regular cars are with State Farm it seemed like the place for my toys. They required photos of each vehicle and photos of the cars in their storage spot. The lady I was dealing with told me the cars...

    Has anyone seen one of these?

    My Great-uncle bought a used 53 Buick and it had one very similar to that. So I would guess the original owner of that car bought the mileage record and put it in the car in '53. Just a guess though. They came with a grease pencil to make notes but in the hot car interior those notes...

    People dropping FI setups like hot potatoes

    Several years ago a friend bought a Fitech for his '68 Mustang with a basically stock engine and asked if I'd help him install it. We put it on with a home made in tank fuel pump system. It has performed without issue and almost no adjustment since initially installed. He has since bought and...

    What Ford model is this?

    My parents had one just like that in Dark Jade Green. Worst car ever. Everything that could go wrong did. Some things twice. Transmission went out twice, heads went bad twice, heater core several times, water pump twice, all four steel wheels cracked down the center. Crazy stuff too. A...

    I know you can do what you want.......BUT

    A friend of mine who is really into Mustangs always has a Mustang or two that are of no particular interest to him. He buys them for an average price, cleans them up a bit, fixes a few glaring issues and then marks his selling price way up. His thought is, someone will always come along who...

    Pentastar medallion.

    I replaced several pentastars on cars with wrecked fenders back in the day. Those on the sixties cars were all gold. I still have several that I removed from 64 to 72 cars, all gold. The early ones were pot metal and later were plastic. Not sure when they changed but it seems like in 1967.

    California DMV ripped me out of my parts.

    He said he turned it over to his lawer so I'll refrain from further comment until the facts have been presented and he has a ruling from the court.

    California DMV ripped me out of my parts.

    That is why he has to see a judge. To get a ruling on the property. He has to pay a fine though for sure. He thinks there is almost no hope for return of the car and parts. Yes, he thinks he stepped on someone's toes by selling "valuable" E body parts and they turned him in.
