Macs Auto Parts list the battery size for the 57 and 58 Fords as 29N and O'Reilly Auto Parts show that they have a 29NF battery that is stated to fit the 57 Skyliner. I have a smaller battery in my...

Great looking car. Congratulations on getting it back on the road.

I replaced the master cylinder on my 57 Skyliner a couple of years ago and here is what I remember from the installation:

1) The master cylinder manufacturer recommends a bench bleed of the...

Hello Chuck,
I can certainly understand your frustration after all that diagnostic work. You indicated that you have checked continuity on the lock limit switches but if you are jumping the roof...

It sounds like the voltage to the motor is low causing it to run slower than normal. The slow action in both directions makes it appear that the problem is with the motor ground circuit because the...

I had some trouble at first with the uploading procedure for photos. Next time try the steps below to see if it helps:

1) Click "Go Advanced"

You may already have this information from droptopford, but what I used when I detailed the trunk on my 57 was the same material that is used as underlayment for roof shingles, which is a felt/tar...

From what I can gather on the Powermaster alternator wiring diagram, the alternator is essentially a GM 1-wire hookup. The only ground connection you need is from the alternator housing to either...

I forgot to mention that the Dave Dudt article was included in the April 2020 issue of Skyliner that was also dedicated to the life and career of Ben Smith.

That was indeed the retractable Mustang shown in the Feb. 2023 issue of the Skyliner and there was an extensive article from Dave Dudt explaining the development and limited production of kits for...

Hello and Welcome to the IFRC Forum,

Your car is indeed a good looking example of the Skyliner. I found the following information on the Membership Roster issue of the Skyliner magazine. Everett...

Hello Johnyfire,

Congrats on your new (to you) Skyliner. Sounds like your car will be nice to drive around in Daytona Beach. I have not had the pleasure of getting into the rear quarter window...

Hello JK,

That is indeed good service from the US to UK. I went to the Rockauto website and found the sleeve you ordered, but I'm afraid I cannot be of much assistance as to where that "cup...

Hello JK,

I think the "Kwik Sleeve" and the seal are likely paired parts that would require installation together. The sleeve would address a potential worn sealing surface on torque converter...

There is no separate classified section so the best place to look is probably the Main Forum, but there are seldom any for sale or wanted items listed. If you join the IFRC (International Ford...

Hello JK,

I'm really not familiar with any such sleeve or where it would be installed. The most likely leakage from the torque converter to the outside (leakage from the bell housing) is the...

The front and rear roof lock motors power circuit should all be powered at the same time, so if your rear roof lock motors are running correctly then the disconnect to the front roof lock motor must...

Hello JK and welcome to the Ford family. Yes, it is possible to remove the Fordomatic transmission without removing the engine. In fact, the 57 Ford manual states that you cannot remove the engine...

The June, 2020 issue of The Skyliner Magazine has an article where the author worked on a 1959 Skyliner to smooth out the vinyl on the door panels. I will attempt to attach the scanned article but...
