Non-FE Discussion Forum / sad news...
« on: November 24, 2023, 09:27:58 AM »
Tuesday my local Ford dealer announced that after 90 years in business they are no longer a Ford dealership. Ford is forcing all dealers to spend well over $200k on EV tools. For the last 2 years the poor guys couldn't get vehicles to sell, then throw in the strike and price increases on top of that. I know of two other small town long time Ford dealers that also threw in the towel. If I'd knew this 6 months ago, I'd a bought a new Honda instead of a Maverick ( which I love btw). I see another bailout in the future.

Plenty of 4 doors, but never a 2 door HT. Looks good. Right in my back yard too.

a bracket (shock mount) onto an axle tube on the vehicle? Or should you pull the axle out and drain the oil? It would be about 12"- 15" from the flange.

I have a customer who ordered a 704 hp. Ram TRX 10 months ago. Truck came in this week and the dealer offered him 20 grand not to take it and let them have it. He took the truck. Said it cost him a tad over 100k with the taxes.  Sure makes that R Comet look cheap at 41K.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / the fuzz in 1963
« on: February 01, 2021, 10:32:47 AM »
Drove by this last week. This is an actual PA State Police car. It's a Galaxie custom, not a 300. That was surprising. It is a 352 4 bbl 3sp. over-drive with a/c, certified speedo, 4 way flashers, backup lights, hd alternator and not much more. the drivers door was missing so no data plate. Looked like just a standard suspension with 3 inch brakes.

Member Projects / out with the old...
« on: May 18, 2020, 11:18:28 AM »
...and in with the old. Yesterdays project was to put a vintage Hurst comp. + in the 4 dr. Gal.  I hated to do it but the factory shifter was just shot. It had about 4 inches of play in it and 2nd & 4th were back into the seat and no longer fun to drive. Mostly straight forward but the handle was nowhere close.  Cut it off, shortened it and got it where it needed to be and re-welded it. I never realized when I bought it, (sight unseen) that old Hursts had the handle welded on rather than bolted.  Sure makes the top-loader perform. As usual I had every tool I own under that car and was totally fa-bushed from the 400 trips to the tool box but well worth the results.

stumbled across this.  It evokes a plethora of emotions.
