Re: an interesting window modification from Craigslist
I find it an interesting idea, it can feel a little enclosed back there, even though the front door windows are large, what is not shown is how the sail panels fit was adjusted to the window.

Re: an interesting window modification from Craigslist
This window design is why they build the cars in clay, for revision, with the right frame along with a hinge to open the window, it could be more acceptable, then if not satisfied one could retrofit with a functioning porthole like some early Birds had, thought those portholes did not open, I believe.

Re: Ballast resistor
A fiend seems to think the pink wire or the wire that heats up to keep the points from pitting is disconnected somewhere, what lead him to that thought, I do not know, except a external ballast resistor he thinks would be a good idea.

Ballast resistor
Did the 64-66 Bird's come with, more so, the 66 come with a ballast resistor, I guess between the coil and distributor to help keep the points from burning out?

Re: insulation in behind front fender splash guards
These cars were built to be quiet, dual resonators and mufflers, helped. And fiberglass insulation added to the quiet ride, in the trunk on the side up and inside where the hinges are on top of the wheel wells, there is more insulation like large loafs of bread inside the space, even more so the &qu...

Re: Gas pedal to carb linkage
There are varying opinions on how to hook up the gas pedal linkage almost as many as what Break in Oil to use! I found this link and video that I used to hook up mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJqiXDJ ... birdRepair

Re: Rear subframe rail rust, mouse nests
You are doing some difficult work, which luckily for my car I did not have to do,welding and fabricating are not a high point for me. I know you will want to keep your trunk as water tight as possible, so I will bring up where the studs for the rear grill go behind the rear window, those studs go th...
