If any of you are in the Sequim Washington area my friend and I are hosting a car gathering on the third Saturday of every month starting this Saturday March 19th.
All are welcome any year make...
Well it's been a few months since I brought the delivery home. Gave it a good once over and started making the list of parts needed before I get crazy.
Gonna be looking for the door card trim...
Well since I couldn't find my old delivery, I went out and got this one.
Pits a 62 with a 63 grill and she is bone stock (except the wheels).
We will see where this one goes but I know I'm not...
Just curious if anyone has seen this car lately? Wishing I hadn't sold it now but at the time the business needed the funds.
Another item on the list was some traction bars. With the 3:73 gears and the posi, I was getting some axle wrap that needed attention. So I went with a simple bar type traction aid. Works perfect...
Ok worked on my WIAI list some more this weekend.
Polishing done, car reassembled and running perfect.
It would seal it, but even a clear powder coat will dull it down a bit and it would look like the wheels on modern cars. They usually polish those then clear powder them. Besides it will give me...
Got a couple ideas. One I think is called Blue Magic and the other one is called sharks hide. I've used the Sharks hide before and it works well. A buddy told me to try the blue magic. So I'll have...
Test fit, you know I had to see how it would look!!
:rocker:
Finally finished project number two. Polished up the valve covers, air intake tube and upper manifold. Got about 40 hours into the job. I keep telling myself I'm not going to do this much work...
I'd say that's a good deal!! If the inside is good you can slap anything you want on top. If your looking for power that's a good base to start with!:rocker:
Bill unless the motor you are looking at is a smoking deal you'd be better off buying a crate motor if you're going carb.
The Only advantage would be the roller parts. Then you have a used...
Hi Noelle, welcome to the best falcon comet site around. Lots of good guys and gals on here and I'm sure you'll get a good answer to your question. I live over in Sequim so I'm not much help as far...
Hey Rick,,welcome to the site. Lots of good guys on here and tons of help.

If anyone is looking I have my 8" rear axle for sale. I had a friend that thought it would work in his car. I knew it wouldn't but he wanted to check.
Anyway I have it back and it's for sale....
No I wish it did. They have some called "chrome" and "polished aluminum" but in my opinion they suck compared to the real deal. On round tube it looks good but still not chrome.
I know I can't...
Ok winter project number two is under way. My spare valve cover got polished and installed. Now to polish up the air intake tube and upper intake.
This is gonna suck, I have about 20 hours into...
After several road trips (on non rainy days) the delivery is doing awesome. Cruises smoother down the road than it ever has! RPM's are exactly where I wanted them and when I stomp the skinny pedal...
Yes same wheels all around 5 on 4.5".
I think a lot of guys in the bronco world are using the discs off the 8.8" on the 9" rear axle, the only thing I can think of is the tube size. The 8.8 is like...
First baby burn out since the swap for the 8.8 rear axle.
Yup it works!
Drove the delivery around this weekend and to work today. Looks like I got exactly what I was looking for.
At 55mph my rpm' are at 17-1800, and at 75mph I'm running right about 2200. She is...
Well it looks like we should call today succesful Saturday.
Took the delivery out on its test drive with the new 8.8" rear axle today. Although a short test drive very nice. She's snaps off the...
That's awesome Roger! It's nice to see it back on the road again.
That was quite a change going from an auto to the 5 speed so I'll bet it's quite the experiance to drive it again, plus the bonus...
Trying to come up with something not so cartoonish.
