The ones I took off of my 63 Jetfire parts car look just like the bushings for the small bar only with a bigger hole. The 1963 parts book is not even clear on these bushings. I even compared it to the 70 Cutlass style but that bushing is much bigger and will not fit the bracket. I suppose it may be easier to cut the outside of those down easier…[Read more]

Anyone know where to get the sway bar bushings for our cars and a 15/16 bar? I am starting to think I will have to bore the 13/16 bushings larger.

A while back my body guy said if he is not done by April it will be next winter before he can finish it. Well, he is working on my car full time right now so if he don’t quit on it I could see it being done by late December. I am not holding my breath either way. He said he didn’t think he would have more than 200 hours in it before he started so…[Read more]

After it was cleaned up I am sure that is correct. I want to believe that is how they done it for all of them. I know it is this way for the 70-72 cars also

Here is the bottom side of the 4 speed hole after is was blasted

I didn’t know the body guy started on it yet but he called today and said to come over. The bottom side is MUCH better than I expected. The pitting is not even that bad. We have decided to not use a bed liner and will use a thick epoxy primer and paint it. He also has patched the lower right quarter. He hand formed the patches and look really…[Read more]

Thanks, I will pick one up. I can’t remember what I used on our automatic car but if I remember right, it don’t fit right. I may just get two of them

The transmission is done. The shifter parts were zinc plated and is only loosely mounted. I am waiting on more parts for it and going to have to have a new shaft made for it.

A local place has wanted me to try them for zinc plating for a long time. I decided to try them on this project and most everything turned out really good. There are a couple pieces I am going to take back to them in my next batch of parts but overall everything will work as it is.

This is what it looked like this morning when I took it out of the tub. Will still have to bead blast it but will be much easier to do now that the tight crusty stuff all come off. It is beside the back section of the same shaft for comparison. Also, this is what the tub looked like when I took it out.

I pulled the two halves of the drive shaft apart today. I found the original stripe still visible. I was not sure this was the original drive shaft but now I want to believe it is. If it was a replacement, it would not have had a paint stripe. The stripe is on the front section and the back section is what is different than most Jetfire cars so…[Read more]

I had a couple people ask for me to put them down on my list while at Homecoming and I sure can’t find that note for who they were. If you had me set one aside for you then let me know.

Transmission is going together. Going out tonight with the family so will try to finish it after church tomorrow.

They have arrived! I now have reproductions of the foot flange gasket available and are made right here in the USA! I have test fit one to a manifold and turbo but I have not mounted one to a car yet. I have all confidence that these will seal exactly like they should and need no sealer.

These are softer than the originals. The manufacturer…[Read more]

I just got the order of foot flange gaskets also. if you still want two of them I can put them in the same box and would not affect shipping. If you still want them then make it $406 total. I was going to post the official announcement they are available later tonight.

I guess we will just have to keep guessing on the 2M, lol. Mysteries of production are fun to try and figure out. You with the most unique cowl tag award though with the XXX paint code.

For sure a good date. I am sure all the dates on that car are perfect. I started a notebook for my car’s dates. I would say roughly 75% of all parts have date codes on them, just a mater of finding them and decipher the code. Now I am wanting to find a late 62 or early printing of the codes. Not sure they ever printed one.

I can do a check or pay pal. If pay pal I would prefer it as a friend or family so I don’t have any fees. Usually shipping is right close to $11 for these so $146 total will be fine. My Pay Pal is jensenracing77@yahoo.com

The mysterious 2M on some of the 63 cowl tags, I wonder how those correlate to cars with body color to cars with black paint in the engine compartment? Whatever 2M is, it has to be involved with Fisher body to be on the cowl tag and this paint would be also Fisher body. Just a thought and wondering if we have enough 63 data to make this…[Read more]
