Also thinking of a new name: Mel-Air

Back after this to try to get it mobile again. Started off with an oil change and replacing the rear wheel cylinders. It was running overly rich...
I have a thread on the T, long story short is that my grandpa and I built it while I was in Jr and High School so he had the torque tube shortened...
No worries at all but to reiterate the intent: My T is too small for the whole family so something to take everyone to car shows and ice cream but...
I extracted the broken bolts out of the hood so that it can be reattached. Only had to sacrifice 8 nuts to the process!
Photos please!
Cliff has me in line with one other guy to get group shipping. He wants at least one more. Looks like a tarp is in my future....
Also on the suspension front: I have brand new rear springs so those will go under before the front is finalized to bring the ass end up before...
In bigger news, I moved her to my house! My hope is that with closer proximity it will pick up the pace some. This should make my buddy happy to...
I have been working but this is a little catch up on efforts on the frame. I have struck out the first two times on shackle placement but found a...
61 Votes came in as far as the weight of the engine and trans combo. Actual answer is: 1007 and it started bending the hook between the scale and...
YES this thing is bad ass!
Can you send a link? Did a few searches and didnt turn up anything. There is a guy getting ready to do a run of his own blower manifolds that I...
The Header flanges came in so I can start the work to modify the BBC fender well headers to work with the big Lincoln! Really happy with the...
So with some measurements I thought the stock powergen would work. Of course it does not and touches the front carb. Likely a cut off wheel is...

I pulled the front dress and then bolted everything back together (with the polished front cover!)[ATTACH] [ATTACH] . I need to finish the front...
Thinking Ford Wimbledon white on the valve covers and likely as an accent color throughout the car. To make the E-475 pop on the Edsel valve...
Picking away at things. Pulled the harmonic balancer to pull the power steering pump. I will likely gut it and reinstall it to both seal off the...
Great info on the oil pump! I love the information you can gather here.
The goal is for my kids to be able to get in and out of the back seat so handles will stay. If I want a two door I plan to recreate my grandpa's...
I will look into those! There is actually a 1965 GMC sharing shop space with a 292 and some un used 250s. Great idea.
Can you further explain shimming the relief spring for me please? Thanks for the other information!
There is a little more room then you would expect and the steering box needs to push a little further forward on the frame rail. I was looking at...
Got a few more things done. Trying to pick at it every other day even though it isn’t at my house. Started the process of pulling the window to...
