Well, the engine is nearly ready for the MCACN show. I decided to put it all the way together with the accessories. I have no junk plug wires that I can use. I am thinking I am going to have to buy a new set to put on it. I can always swap them out later when I get a junk set to use.

I also had a friend weld up a roll around stand for it. I just…[Read more]

That was quick… These are sold.

It is going to be far easier to rebuild what you have than to convert to something different.

That always frustrates me. I noticed not long ago that someone even changed it in the Wikipedia site also. I tried to change it back but I can’t get approval.

The magazine is on news stands now. It is a half page article but still cool. It is the December 2018 issue.

Just found this paint dab on an original 63 steering link. This was a front suspension with the 104 code on yellow tape. I am guessing that this yellow paint has to do with the yellow 104 code tape on the brake drum.

I need to look more into it but it looks like the rear control arms were specific to the Jetfire. I would suspect that it is a…[Read more]

He also has it listed under the wrong thing to draw an audience I think. For sure needs more pictures and information.

I never thought about them possibly being convertible top bolts. I Have never worked on a convertible before to know. Can anyone confirm if that is correct? If that is what they are for I know I will not need them. Thanks,

I just looked at the Inline Tube part numbers. I see that they show 61-62 the same for fuel lines and 63 has another part number. I have not had them out to compare but the 63 Jetfire I have sure looks like the same fuel lines as my 62’s have. Does anyone know if there really is a difference? If there is no difference then maybe they have…[Read more]

Inline Tube is a mixed bag. I can’t stand the business itself but they generally have quality parts. They have got to have the program somewhere if they made them correct at one time.

The most important part of dealing with them is when you order a large order you must check the order as soon as you get it. I have placed many large orders with…[Read more]

Not completely sure yet but with it being solid and a factory 4 speed car it should do well. Whatever I get for it will all go into my 62 4 speed Jetfire. I hope to start restoring that car right after the Homecoming show next year. After the MCACN show in November I will set a price on this car. I will likely be firm on that price till after the…[Read more]

Ready for MCACN barn find section. I sure wish I could have taken it as dirty as it was when I got it.

Just an FYI, this car will be for sale likely before the magazine article comes out about it. If you are interested in a restoration project let me know. Original paint car so no bad body work is hiding. I have a good core back bumper to go…[Read more]

I had that same thought. Hard to say what happened. Maybe someone will buy the car from here and find more information?

The VIN is 631K0…

I just ask him to look closer at it and he is telling me that it is a K. I guess I need to see the VIN? That would settle it. I am not seeing where he listed the VIN in the add. I thought it was required.

After looking closer then I think you are correct that it is BC. The corrosion almost looked like BK. That makes more sense now. This car is on eBay now and looks like a reasonable price.

Here is a new cowl tag. It appears that we may have an anomaly. The 63 I just picked up has a date of 01D and is body number 645. This tag is the same plant and the date looks like it is 01C but the body number looks like 660. Looks like it is an earlier car with a higher body number.
