Re: An Introduction
On the subject of Ethanal gas, many stations stopped selling and here in Ontario, the last supplier was SHELL who as of last year. You do have a possible source if you are near a Marina or small plane airport. Both boats and small planes still need Alcohol free fuels. But things are moving away for ...

Re: Radiator
WELCOME to the FORUM Ms Fallun No bad thought conveyed. As stated previous, there are two (2) different Rads for your car and its configuration of AC or NonAC. Another search title name is "HEAT EXCHANGERS" Rad shops are a dying business but many industrial rebuilders exist in the hydrauli...

Re: dead battery
Nobad, ALL GOOD Before you go digging into the car to find your "Ghost" , check your trunk lite and your clock. Both stay energised with the ignition OFF. I have seen the trunk lite incorrectly mounted and remain working even if the lid is closed. Many do not realize that the trunk lite is...

Re: Activating Lever only
Yes it appears that there is a bit of confusion, and TWO different answers and part locations. Baby T in your post you refer to a steering column but the text is a bit confusing and leads to the NSS lower down the column at your toe level under the dash. OR on the column up by the steering wheel? If...

Re: correct color for the engine compartment
It needs to be known that 1) Jim Wulf is probly one of the most respected 61/63 go to guy on Birds, and I have never seen him miss lead but direct members. 2) the VTCI membership dues are prorated, per issue. A full year is $40.00 for six SCOOPs, then steps down as the year progresses. If you joined...

Re: What is this called?
Long time digging out that information Alan. This part has no action of being a seal in its location, as it mounted to the underside of the cross frame of the upper rad support, and had no soft rubber seal to mate with any other part. The only seals that existed around the rad opening was the triang...

Re: Engine Rebuild - Color Scheme
Jim W, nice to see the FAN decal has the correct White lettering. (Never questioned you.) I know that is correct. Sad to see on repop decals that the fonts and colours are incorrect In regard to the Castilian Gold colour, the Hyundi formula is the most correct available (Thanks Alan) I did a major r...

Re: How long have you owned your bird
Original owner car.1964 Landau Bought November 1963. Traded in a 1962 Landau for purchase. I remember Dad bringing it home when I was 7 years old. Still have that car today, some 50 years later. In 1976 I bought the car from my Dad for $2.00 dollars and have had it since. Have been a VTCI member for...

Re: What is this called?
On about 90% of the cars I have putt my hands to, it has failed, fallen off its mounting screws and the owner rips it off and throws it away. IT IS A WIRING TROUGH that crosses the front of the car under the upper Rad support. It mounts with some small screws, and is used to protect the wiring harne...

Re: Wanted- 1961 to 1963 Tonneau

Re: exterior window scrapers
In the past, I made my own from raw stock from a vender at Carlisle. The seal came with the scraper rubber seal and stainless bead, in a 8 foot length. I simply cut to my needed length, attached the felt/wicking velcro strip, sealed the open ends with a pin nail, in the SS bead and attached to the c...

Re: OEM Battery Size - 1965 Convertible
The parts suppliers that support the VTCI (Pat Wilson, Bird Nest, and others carry or can supply the trays and hold downs) From my experience the tray and hold downs are a multi fit item. The Hold down is slotted to fit either battery size. Do not think FORD would have 2 different trays and hold dow...

Re: exterior window scrapers
Yes with a little finesse and a few steps of disassembly. But this depends on how the existing window seals were mounted. How were "THEY" mounted? A big problem is the inner door panel trim, and the window needing to be lowered. You would have to remove the inner panel, access the rubber s...
