  • The New Project!

    Just brought the ol' '68 fastback out of storage (my dad's first car). Currently it's sporting a 289 that is coming out tomorrow and when it goes back in, it will be a 302. This engine will be my project for the next few months and will be a fun car when it's back together, then we'll fix up a few chips and broken parts and it will be good as new.

    Winching it on the tow truck:

    Horsepower is how fast you hit the Minivan... Torque is how far you take the Minivan with you... :wavey:

            Yeah, it's in great shape overall inside and out. Only things: the parking brake was stuck on when we brought it out of storage (I know, we shouldn't have had it on in the first place). Chances are it needs all new wheel cylinders. The knob on the passenger window crank is busted off, and the tach doesn't work. Outside is just a couple chips that have been filled in with touch-up paint. The engine ran nice before, but was starting to show it's age, and now hasn't been run in nearly 4 years, so it's time for a rebuild.

            Thanks man, I thought it was about time I put a little bit of work into a sig instead of just cropping a pic and throwing my name on.

            We have a big shop in a nearby town that we store our trailer and the other 63 lincoln parts car. We put the parts car on shop dollies, and there was plenty enough room for yet another 18' car.

            The plan is to pull the engine with the convenience of having it at the house, then move the body back into storage while I finish up the engine.

                It's actually GM Arctic White. The stock ford white was kind of a yellowy color that wasn't too attractive, so my dad went with arctic white on the first repaint.

                      That car is really nice, good luck with the project.

                      Is it "your" car when your done?

                      Did he hand it down?
