Vinyl roof and headliner Some time off work as the office shuts down for two weeks. A couple days in the shop and some progress... vinyl roof on and headliner in... If I can find all my window clips the glass should be in Friday!

1. Needed a mule for an EXP500 2. Found it locally at an OK price ... but then didn't have the heart to restomod a GTCS and toss the entire OEM drivetrain to go from a 289 to an FE. And... 3. I can't afford a Shelby. (yet!)

From the Motorcraft site: •Not for use in applications where MERCON® SP, MERCON® LV, Continuously Variable Chain Type Transmission Fluid, Motorcraft® Premium Automatic Transmission Fluid, FNR5 Automatic Transmission Fluid or Type F Automatic Transmission Fluid is recommended

Originally used Type F transmission fluid. They are different and as it generally available while the Mercon will "work" IMO best to stick with the Type F. If you swap be sure the system is completely emptied as to not mix them.

Anyone got close up shots of how it was trimmed out at the lower end of the A pillars and at the lower rear edge by the trims. Mostly interested in the rear trim, there is a gap between the front edge of the lower horizontal trim and the drip rail and it seems part of the edge is just left...

Late April build C code with a -B block. 8C5

Interesting, so my 289 has a 302 block! Learn something new every day, if you pay attention....:smile:

So drop the oil pan and see what crank you have? Hoping it has a FomoCo stamp

Have reference to a 5/16" washer, no finish noted. Part 44724, standard flat washer, steel, 5/16, .365/.385 ID, .750 OD, .051/.080" thk. Would not expect zinc dichromate for a non-electrical part, generally ZD is used there. Phosphate and Oil would be my guess.

I have two toploaders, both stamped as shown. One 68, original to the S GT coupe, one '69 Mustang I bought second hand.

Well, you probably won't find another for a similar price. So if you want one, keep it. If its a passing thing, then the $ may be used elsewhere... and save the cost/headaches/enjoyment/achievement of restoring it...

Wire wheel on a dremel after hours of getting very little done... an hour of that and its still not there, but closer. Some scuffing but as its inside the channel and hidden not to fussed as the alternative was days of scraping. Acetone, turpentine, gas, WD40, kerosene... noting bothers the...

Pressure washer and its gone. As for the painters truck, thats what insurance is for! :wink: It will get done, just tedious... and always amazes my how many people put so little thought into some projects.

And the funny part is a tube of the correct stuff would have cost the same price... gotta love the "it'll work" types! :wink:

PO's, the gift that keeps on giving. Hours of free entertainment fixing their efforts.... Tons of silicone sealant in the stainless door/roof rails. The channels that accept the tab on each side of the weatherstrip, which almost hold it with no adhesive, are full of clear silicone. Gobs of...

Supposedly Wimbledon White. As with most colors no real way to tell without OEM paint to match do (this was previously repainted so none to match). Each paint vendors opinion of any 60's Ford color is slightly different based on side-by-side tests I have done. It was color matched for a high...

A bit of a hiatus in the logs.... but she's back in paint! This was Friday, Saturday to vinyl top went back on. A mid-range difficulty level one-person DIY job...
