Cord, have you looked at / talked to Waldron's exhaust in Ohio?  They make kits for many old cars and will do custom larger diameters of their standard kits.  I bought an H-Pipe from them and it was accurate and good quality.  Or you could find a muffler shop that does custom work.

Alan, +1 on Classicautoair.com.  IIRC they're based in FL.  I bought the compressor, valves, and fan switch from them for the factory Selectaire in my '63 Galaxie.  Also bought the expansion valve and evaporator for my '66 Fairlane with factory AC. 

Big Congrats!  Agree with all the sentiments above.  It is a great life and well deserved. 

One big lesson is you need to have something to retire to.  Most of us here don't have that problem with our old Ford (and other!) projects.  There are many others I've worked with who had demanding careers and didn't make the time to develop other interests along the way so they get quickly bored at home or continue working till they drop or get laid off.  I retired from 35+ years in the petroleum industry and haven't looked back.    

Yes, Merry Christmas to Heo and all! 

Heo, it's been fun following your stories.  I think we've all learned a lot about Sweden that we don't see in the news... How is your son's JagLane coming along? 

The guy I use for my '63 is Bud Potter @ budsclassiccars.com.  He took over the business from Greg Donahue and specializes in '63-'64. He has sources for parts that aren't being reproduced and is reasonably priced. 

Doug, +1 with Stangman I also use American Collectors however I've not had to make a claim in the 20+ years I've used them.  The rates are based on my declared value for each of the 2 cars.     

In my younger days, the first time I pulled the distributor on my 390 Mustang the shaft came loose and fell.  The car was almost new at the time so I have to guess that Ford didn't install a retainer washer in my engine either.  Luckily my buddy who was helping me, his Father owned an auto parts store so we were able to go and get a replacement since it was at night (as usual).  Left the original shaft in the pan never to be seen or heard from again!   

I've been running TCP variable-rate coil springs and their lower struts on my 66 Fairlane for several years now, street driving only.  My upper arms are NOS Ford and lowers are Moog stock replacement.  The quality of the TCP stuff seems excellent but the NVH is significantly higher due to the struts having little to no "give" where they attach to the front crossmember compared to the stock struts having big rubber donuts.  It's not noticeable in most driving, but if you hit any type of washboard surface it really rattles the front end!  If I did it again I would probably go with the stock type struts and replace the rubber donuts with a harder elastomer to obtain some "give".  IIRC I'm also running a 1" sway bar from TCP with their aluminum bearing blocks.  These are also excellent quality and I definitely recommend this sway bar setup for a street-driven shock tower car.
