Jim, The 63 trunk emblems area a rectangle style barrel clip. I have not found these yet.

The E I have is missing a stud and the chrome is dull on both of them. For some reason I can’t post pictures here any more but if I can get an email address I could send you pictures. I have not found the clips yet but I know I have some

I will look for them tonight. I have just a few of those clips but not sure how many. I am not aware of them being reproduced but not sure. Sandy looked and couldn’t find them a while back. Hoping that not all of them are bad that you have. On similar emblems I have used 3M clear emblem adhesive on the little studs when I install them and it holds…[Read more]

Some 63’s were black and some were body color under the hood. Not sure what determined the difference? Maybe a mid year change? I believe it was just the typical chassis black they used for years. More of a satin finish. I have some extra trunk letters but not sure how nice they are. If you find you need them let me know and I will look for them.…[Read more]

Here is another video from last weekend when I started it up and broke in the cam. This weekend I have both front fenders and front bumper on. Most of the front end is together. I will try to post pictures again but it has not worked for a few weeks for me.

For some reason I can no longer post pictures to this forum. Here is a video from a couple weeks ago.

Does it have Felpro gaskets now? Are you doing both sides or just one? The entire gasket set is not all that much. I think it is around $85 for the set. I do have a set of Fep-Pro head gaskets I can let go of but I will want $45 and shipping for the pair. You would not be that far off from just getting the entire set from the local auto zone

I Think the color is likely the same. This picture is not very good for mine. I found a nearly mint used one for my car a few years ago. I have another one that is nearly as good that may find its way to Melissa’s car.

That is what I felt but I have heard of several people needing these in the past. I never needed one so was not sure if there was something people have found that work or not. Felix just posted on Facebook that a TH400 transmission dipstick grommet works good. I will skip this project since there is an alternative

Nice work!

Tank is in. It is not perfect but it is nice enough to make me happy. The inside is as nice as the bottom.

Just picked up the driveshaft from the shop and could not be happier! Before I took it I was not sure how I was going to make the ends look good after the new tubes were welded on. I knew they would not match the pretty new tubes. It is not “correct” but I decided to bead blast the ends and just dip the ends of the shaft in my phosphate solution.…[Read more]

The chassis service manual shows how to do it. Should be able to.

Found this yellow paint mark on my drive shaft.

Made more headway.

I am getting there. I got the paint off the water pump so it look better now.

The guy that rebuilt the water pump painted it and it didn’t look right. Just used some lacquer thinner on a rag and took it right off. I will use a Q tip to remove it in the little areas I couldn’t get to.
