I’ve searched the site for info on mounting locations and / pictures of where folks mount seat belt anchors. I haven’t been able to find much info that will help me find a good location for anchors...
I’ve been absent from the club for several years and happy to be back. Recently retired and planning to catch up on things including some valuable car time. My wife Lisa and I are planning to travel...
Ok, this is an old post. But it is something I just can't tell if it is working correctly. Crank case breather tube...... I found and installed the filter that goes inside the canister. I still get a...
I have had the booster in and out several times. I'm having a very difficult time getting the rubber to seal at the front plate. Ended up putting a small bead of silicon type sealer between the...
I've got a 57 that the brakes have never worked. When I got it, the brakes had a vacuum leak. Pulled the booster off and there was a hole in the rubber diaphram. Through the forum I was able to get...
I have a serious vacuum leak when I step on my brakes. I have not been able to locate a seal or rebuild kit nor a new vacuum booster. Does anyone know an outlet for these parts? Thank you - Scott
I have never put anything in the truck of my 57 since it was
hard to tell how much room there really is available. I recently
purchased and installed a truck tub. It has pretty good space
and with...
Just wrapping up the final details on a full restoration. I'm having a difficult time getting my low end idle to smooth out. Carb has been professionally rebuilt, everything new. Timing all dialed...
Good point. I did not think of one causing an issue for the other. Thank you
I have a fresh 292 all set up and dialed in. I'm getting a lot of oil dripping out of my crank case breather tube. Oil is fresh, good, filled to the right mark. Someone mentioned I should have a...
Would anyone have a recommendation for a good floor mat supplier? Something that would fit good and provide the protection needed to keep the carpet protected? Thank you - Scott
Over a long weekend coming up, I will be towing a freshly painted 57 about 1,000 miles back to her home. Other than truck and trailer tips, is there any recommendations for protecting the car?...
Yes it is. That will be a great cruise up through yooper land and
back down to Frankenmuth. Thank you - Scott
First year my car will be done and I won't be able to make the 44th convention. I looked around the site and did not see a location for the 45th? Is there any info available? Thank you - Scott

It's always good to have a few extra caps around. When you need them there seem to be harder to find. Thank you again fordonly.
That wasn't very clever was it. Listing the year is pretty critical. I'm working on a 57 and wondering if the wheel covers were pretty consistent between models in 57? You mention you might have a...
Is the Great Lakes chaper still gathering? Will they be meeting
In 2015? Thank you - Scott
I need to find one and maybe two wheel covers in better shape than the ones I have. Does anyone have a good source for wheel covers and / or can you tell me if the 14" wheel covers are all the same...
After close to 30 years, many challenges and multiple set backs, my 57 is close to coming back home. Last year about this time, she was handed off to Jerry Miller for restoration and I'm told by...
