Vintage Thunderbird Club International

I went with Coker Tire American Classic Radial 1 inch WW. Couldn't find WW Hankooks.

I just had my tires/tubes mounted on my '63 wire wheels and used 3M tape purchased on Amazon. The shop used 1 & 1/2 rolls of the 1 1/2 inch wide tape.

Has anyone tried the abs plastic dash covering from Accuform design to fit for '62.5-'63?

Great tip. Thanks.

My '63 gauge reads about the same ( on the "M"). I replaced both the instrument voltage regulator since it was failing and the temperature sender. I measured the coolant temperature at operating temperature which was around 185 degrees. I accept that my gauge reading is fine, falling withi...

Here's the text of an article I wrote long ago for The Scoop regarding Code 54/84 Interiors. Jim, As a new owner of a trim 84 '63, I wondered about the various beige like colors on the dash and upper door sections and that didn't quite match. They just didn't seem right for such a high end vehicle....

Any help would be appreciated to find a source for a coolant temperature sensor with the correct specifications for my 63 Tbird. The old and recently purchased new sensor (Amazon purchase) read around 100 ohms at 180 degrees, which will not deflect my temperature gauge that much. Research online and...

Finally got around to installing foam around the perimeter of the tonneau cover. The foam is a self sticking neoprene weather stripping product 1\8 inch thick and just under 2 inches wide, purchased on Amazon. It appears the original foam with was about 1 3\4 inch. The real test will be time. Also I...

I've made some photos of the foam pads, foam surround evidence, inspection mark, and what appears to be a number of some sort. The foam pads on the corners measure 2" x 1". I hope Alan can use these and please let me know with any additonal photos are needed. Tonneau Foam Surround.jpg Tonn...

I also have the corner pads as well as evidence of padding around the flat areas. My roadster is a late production (56099) unit so perhaps a running change. Ill get photos of the underside when I return home late next week. Thanks for all the info.

Hi all, I recently purchased a 63 Sport Roadster and noticed that the underside on the tonneau cover has remnants of what I assume was some sort of foam padding that fit between the cover and the flat areas around the rear seats. Is this a factory installation? If so, any ideas on the thickness I sh...
