Hey Lenz, What winds are you referring too!
Hey Gary, same ones we're having today.  My skin's getting thinner, once they get past 50 mph I tend to quit.  Don't shove engines through snow drifts in a wheel barrow nearly as enthusiastically as I used to.  Well, no, I just won't do that any more period.  Somewhere between 20 and 60 my viewpoint on how and when to get things done has changed a bit...

Waiting impatiently for some warmer weather to get out and work on the car.
The song of the north, true as it gets.  Working on putting the overdrive into my F100, the Galaxie just needs to be removed from the bag and cleaned up, ready to go at it again.  Snow with 50+mph winds as I type this, reckon we'll wait a week or so.

FE Technical Forum / Re: FE Race and Reunion who is going !!
« on: January 30, 2019, 12:51:07 PM »
Saw Beaver Bob at the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing in York Springs PA last December, he spotted an FE Race and Reunion sticker on my truck.  We talked for a bit about the reunion and how it grew in just a short time, a must do event if you can get there in my opinion.  I haven't been able to come since '15 but I plan on making the trip this year since I got sick of working and retired in October-

Thanks for the input, seems like it's going to come down to the typical value which is "what someone will give you for it".  I was thinking around 5K so that seems safe.  Similar drivers I saw were 13 to 16K, so it seems right to me.  They're probably gonna need an appraisal anyway-

Non-FE Discussion Forum / '67 Mustang value advice
« on: October 21, 2018, 01:20:42 PM »
VIN is 7R01C100686, breaks down to a 1967 hardtop with the lo-po 289 2V auto trans built in San Hose California.  Car is sitting in a barn (of course) on concrete an appears to be solid without digging in too deep (bottoms of fenders, rockers doors and quarters all there).  Lousy red repaint peeling off of the original medium blue metallic, black interior.  Looks to be a complete car.  Clearly a restorable piece but in need of just about everything from the look of it, hasn't been run or moved in over 30 years.

This valuation is needed for estate inheritance for a good friend's family.  I know this is precious little info but I was hoping mustang folks would be able to ballpark it for me.  Input appreciated.

One thing's sure, Royce is gonna have himself one unique and bad-ass '56 wagon.  Would love to see pics of that when it's together-

Let her go.
  Amen to that, there's a tipping point somewhere, might be time for a new baby and 50k in the bank-

Yeah, I weigh at least 145 too ::)  Think that was in 10th grade tho-.  On the wires I figured I might end up needing to make a set from a quality kit, just looking for the easier way out.  On the other hand, I saw that Barry has a set of old +.060 forged 390 pistons for sale and I just happen to have a block in good shape opened up that far.  'Course, I'd still need to come up with some heads.  Starting to look like this ignition problem could cost me more than I figured on ???

Non-FE Discussion Forum / 7 mm plug wires
« on: September 28, 2018, 08:17:19 AM »
Who makes the best "off the shelf" wires?  I'm running a set of Mr. Gasket wires on the 300 in my '69 F100, the boots are pretty crappy.  I need to keep pressing down and rotating the boot on the coil to prevent stumble.  Once I do this it'll run fine for a couple of days, then back at it.  When I bought the truck I scrapped the points and went to a Pertronix Ignitor with everything else like Henry set it up (I do draw 12 volts at the ignition switch under crank and run for the ignitor).  I used dielectric grease and also made a few other checks to make sure the problem wasn't due to an issue downstream, everything looks good.  Thoughts appreciated, I know what it really needs is FE power but I've grown accustomed to standing next to the engine under the hood for tune-ups ;D

Yeah, that stuff still goes on today.  A friend of mine is at the top of a local dealership service department, he talked about some of the "fun" they've had with disgruntled auto workers.  Said the best one he saw involved a washer hanging on a string inside a door.  It came with a note that said "so how long did it take you to find this"?
