Re: My 1962 M-code T-Bird Roadster convertible arrived!
Congrats on finding that '62 M Cvt ! As I was reviewing your pics of that sweet Tbird, I noticed the VIN plate and saw that your '62 M and my '62 HT (Original) were "born" on the same date!!! 24D (April 24th, 1962). I attached an image of my own VIN plate so you can see what information wa...

Re: Chalk mark
bulletbird - below is an image of mine on my survivor (62 HT) and it seems to have been put on by a Wixom line worker with a white crayon or grease marker... http://pic90.picturetrail.com/VOL2380/10489549/18763396/356097477.jpg the '114' doesn't correlate to anything on my ROT sheet also.

4 OEM Kelsey Hayes Wire Wheels (in boxes... unopened)
Gentlemen, I just got an email yesterday and was asked to find out what would be the going price for 4 OEM KH wire wheels (in the boxes)???

Re: '62 Mystery Wires
I'm starting to sort out my '62 Roadster project and I'm unable to determine what the two black wires coming from this plug at the voltage regulator are for. They are both cut off coming out of the plug and there doesn't seem to be any corresponding wire to connect them to. As far as I can see, it ...

Jim, Real question...is the overspray on one side of the threads of the bolt holding the lower arm how it came from the factory originally? I can't imagine you missing that detail so I assume that is how it came from the factory so you mimiced it too. John John - interesting question... I checked s...
