That is fantastic customer service, and also valuable info to know about the ARP changeover timing. Glad it worked out well for you.

I replaced the one broken stud, started it up. No noise is good noise. I will be taking it out for a drive tomorrow if it isn't raining.
I will be replacing all the studs when I get the set that Air Flow Research is sending me. Want to get that done before I take the car to the national meet in Sacramento in July and especially before we take it to Arizona for several shows and drag racing in Phoenix and Tucson in September.
More to come I would imagine. Larry

While Carol and I were in Tucson, I had an extra rear trim piece polished. The one on my car was not looking great. I finished applying pin striping tape and then clear coated it. It is now installed and looks better than the other one. Here are a couple of pics. Larry

Looks really nice Larry. Are those stainless or aluminum?

Don, the part is aluminum and they did a great job of polishing it. Larry

I will start a new post since this car is history. I did get some information from the guy in Syracuse who bought the car from me. Pictures are looking great and he is showing it. I am very much looking for a 63 hardtop to start a new project. I was perusing the face book page, nice. Hope everyone is well and having a great but weird year. Larry

Hey Larry - Good to hear from you. Weird year is hardly going to cover explaining it, but it is what it is. Making as much lemonade as possible!
Scott Zimmerman just dug a 63 "t-bird roof style" Falcon out of a garage up past Snoqualmie, so that's a perfect project car with minimal rust. I think he posted it on the Facebook page as well. Hardtops are getting hard to find in project shape, but I'll keep an eye out for you as well.

I see it posted every once in awhile on a couple of the Falcon Facebook pages - such a sweet car.
Yep, if interested Larry send me a private message. It's a 63 2 door sedan with the T-bird style roof as Roger mentioned. Hardtops weren't until a little later that year. It's a base model with the 144 6 cyl and pretty solid as it's been stored indoor for probably 20 yrs on a concrete floor. The only rust I saw needing replacement, or patching, was the drivers floor pan. Quarters and rockers look very good. Everything appears to be original except for the poor baby blue paint over the original Corinthian White. Looking up the vehicles weight yesterday they were between 2300-2400 lbs. It would make a great project car.

Yep, 63. Corrected - clearly I didn't proof read my post
