Gorgeous. Glad to see folk are starting to wake up to how great a car the Riv's are. Wires are a perfect choice for a car that classy.
Oh yea. 65 Comet B/FX clone, 60 Starliner, 64 Marauder. Got the bug to sell my 56 Customline here lately but I think the mrs. has me talked out...
78-79 t bird are not 5x5. When Ford went to the midsize bird in 77, they adopted the 5x4.5 bolt pattern. I used this setup on my Starliner...
Big dogs, indeed! Worth a trip to a meet!!
I'd suggest running down a rule book from the era you're wanting to build to, especially if you want to try to make it authentic. If you're...
Most Henry J's I've seen from the era had rear tires that extended beyond the wheel wells. I'm thinking a 12' tire would have been the norm, or...
I have one but it doesn't work either.:rolleyes: Those of us who have had the misfortune of working with these pieces of crap should not be...
Got my headers installed on my Willys, worked on the interior headliner, cleaned up the garage a bit.
If the fans are used as pushers, they'll much less efficient, not mention potential air flow issues.
I was "assured" by the friendly tech guy at FPA that their new design with the weld on collectors would fit without any problems on my 56 w/390....
Pretty sure that 62 still has a 9" even though it's a six. Either motor will pull it fine, but once you enjoy the torque of a 460, you'll never go...
Life just sucks sometimes, no doubt about it. Feel what you feel, come to grips with it and own it. Sometimes you've gotta act like you're well...
Impressive! Wish I was half that good.
Had a 64 Marauder. Was one of the best car's I've ever owned. I miss mine every time I see one. Congrats!
Another one saved! One family owned, too! Good for you!
There was a 1/24 scale track in my area about 20 years ago. It made a great place for my 7 year old son and I to go on Sunday afternoon. We...
Lousy world we live in sometimes, for certain. Theft robs you of what little security we thought we had. It goes beyond the value of the things...
Love it. One of my bucket list cars for sure.
Killer!
Doh! That's what I get for looking without my glasses on.:) :)

Welcome from Somerset/Monticello KY! Good stuff here.
Prayers. Can't imagine what you're going through right now. :(
Awesome, just awesome. Maybe one day my Willys will grow to be a real car like that...
Lost my dad earlier in the year. It's a hard road. Prayers for you and all who loved him.
Much appreciated, everyone! I plan on a mechanical fan with a pusher, just to be on the safe side, providing there's space. When I bought the...
