Good morning all you T-Bird experts, I want to hear all your thoughts on this YouTube video I just came across. I need to replace the passenger side floor panel sometime over this upcoming winter and just doing my initial research into it. check out this video of a guy gluing and not welding the pan...

Those rubber freeze plugs will work just fine. If simply tightening it doesn't cure the leak, it may indicate that the plug is damaged from initial overtightening, using an unnecessary sealer, or poor quality rubber. Commonly available Dorman plugs are made in China, harder to find E-Z Seal plugs a...

Hey all you great t bird friends, I just got a 62 that I’m going through. It starts and drives and looks damn good from about 25 ft away. I can’t complain. The guy said he filled it with gas just before I got it. With what gas? I have no idea. When you hit the gas it picks up and goes but some Black...

If you order it, I'll be happy to pick it up for you and bring it by Monday afternoon. If you want it shipped there's usually a couple week delay for border...

Okay you t-bird experts. What is the empty spot to the left of the ignition on the dash?

Picture circled in yellow. Just going out the metal hooks on the side towards the back is a coat hanger.

Thanks Allen! Great info. I’m learning a lot about this car

I believe there is plenty of interest here in the forums! That is a beautiful car. you can do some research online to come up with a fair price, but being an M code, I believe 35K or above is on target for a price. i would be interested in it but i just got a 62 that im working on.
