After being put up in 1996 and starting restoration in 2009 my first car is finally finished! I just ticked the last thing off the to do list.
I was supposed to get my dad’s 1964 Comet Caliente for my first car, but at that time I wasn’t crazy about it. My dad traded a ’29 Ford Roadster...
Does anyone know where to get the turn signal cancelling cam for a non-tilt column? It looks like they are available all day for tilt columns. Has anyone put one in a non-tilt column or know where to get the proper one?
I could use some help deciding what size tires to get. I am running some new 15x7 Shelby 10 spokes and have never had the car running with these wheels. I just bought some BFG White Letter 205/60/15s but they don't look right to me (sidewalls are too small). It has Granada front brakes and...
Hi,
I'm getting close to wrapping up a LONG restoration on my GT/CS and am trying to figure out which wheel to use for a spare. I have 15x7 Shelby 10 spokes on the car but thought it would be cool to use an original looking wheel for the spare. I see there are some aftermarket aluminum ones...
It has come time to buy an exhaust system for my car and was wondering if any of you have any recommendations. It has a stock 2001 302 out of an Explorer in it right now and Doug's Tri-Y headers. They have a 2.5" collector. Someday I would like to build a 347 for it, so was thinking about a...
Hi,
I'm hoping to use this thread to ask questions about how to put my car back together. I took it apart years ago, didn't take pictures and the marker faded on the labeling I did for the bolts. And of course I don't remember how most of it goes together.
What are these fasteners called...

I need to purchase a set of wheels for my car when it gets out of the paint shop hopefully in a few months. What size do you think would look the best, 15x7 or 16x8? I want something fairly stock looking but I think slightly bigger wheels than stock look good. I think the 17's are too much...
I just started rebuilding my GT/CS that's been sitting for several years and am thinking about trying to redoing the front end while I'm on vacation next week. What kit would you guys recommend for the front end or would you just buy replacement stock parts? What pieces would you replace? It...
I'm rebuilding my car, it has a non numbers matching engine, some aftermarket body panels, etc. That is to say it's not fully original and I just want to enjoy it and drive it not win shows or awards. Here are my options as I see it.
All original (It has disc brakes off a granada already) non...
I've been waiting for a long time and I'm finally about to send my car to the body shop for the first phase of restoration after it's been sitting for 10 years. It needs both rear quarter panels which are buckled from when it was hit from behind. The decklid is going to need some fiberglass...
