I belong to several forums and some work better than others. I must be doing something wrong. Example, I put in steering column or steering column rebuild and get pages of unrelated topics. The same with custom wheels. I narrow the search down to 64-66 birds but leave everything else as set. Thanks ...

Thanks! I belong to several forums and none of them work very well when it comes to search. I guess I need to try more random words than phrases. Since you helped me with the mirror question, any tips on finding custom wheel info? I found a few threads, but Im sure there are many Im not accessing. T...

Thanks for that great tip! I will definitely need one, I feel blind on that side.

Thanks Steve. This is tough. Everything logical says dont buy it. But the one pro is "because I want it" Im closing in on 60, ya never know when you are going to go, I miss having a classic, the wife supports it,,,( double high five), And Im resigning to the fact I will be doing lots of cu...

Hello, Frank here. Newby too. Maybe between the both of us we can get some knowledge. I think Im going to need to buy a service manual. I sure could use an exploded view of an entire car. I cant help you, but just wanted to say hi. White 66 hardtop here too.

Thanks for that info Bob. Im already researching parts and the fix for that. It does have the wobbly lever, park issues, and e brake issue disengaging. That would be a first. I already lost a 72 fastback vw down my driveway and missed it up good. I hate it when that happens!! Ozzy, we get along good...

Thanks for the welcome and responses!! I have been struggling with this for a couple of weeks now. Im not sure about the ethanol content, but Im going to visit the mechanic that has been working on this car the last 13 or so years and discuss a few things. There are so many reasons why I shouldnt do...

Hello, Frank here. I have an opportunity to buy my late father in laws 66 hardtop. Great condition throughout, with minor issues.Im excited to possibly be a classic car owner again. I have worked on cars my whole life, but have my limits. I would be selling my current car and the bird would become m...
