Thanks again, Dan. Stu looks here too, and he also has a 63 sedan, and he may look under his hood and may report what he sees. Sometimes LCOC judges ding stuff just because they can. When I hid my 15" wheels behind '63 wheel covers, nobody noticed. (I learned that trick here on this forum). Whe...

Thanks, Dan, computers and I don't really have a relationship. So, Ebay and I are not intimates. Would you believe that I heard about this forum from a fellow Lincoln owner back in 2009 when I joined, but the Episcopal priest across the street a bit, actually came to my computer, found the forum and...

You're in the South. Try Dennis Carpenter. That gas pedal has got to be a Ford thing. He makes them, and it is worth the trip to his factory to have a tour. When I was there, there was a fellow operating a machine and he said he was making stern wills. I'm from Maine and the language gap was wide. I...

Getting real nuts and bolts is a real challenge these days. We used to have a place called Fastenal, nearby with semi-intelligent workers who knew nut and bolt grades. But they went out of business, and a wacky-weed store replaced them. I won't go to Lowe's or Home Depot because the only phrase the ...

I do know you, Tony, and I wanted to make you laugh. I originally had the way I wanted to be identified inside of the parentheses, but I erased it because I was too afraid to actually use the words, because this is a public forum, even though my daughters, in their 30's, could accept it if I wasn't ...

I've trusted all kinds of shocks for a long time, and usually do pretty well with all of them. It is ball joints that all inspection mechanics like to replace, even on my Lincoln. I don't get any choice offered on ball joints. The last batch came from a parts store that had supposedly ball joints fo...

The identifying thing is too new for me. My nephew told me I can be anything I want to be by identifying as such. I told my buddies that they were to think of me henceforth as (something I can never be). They told me to shut the "you know what" up. My generation isn't ready for identifying...

I woke up my camper tow car with the Jump start thingy on my charger, drove around for a while and then went and got gas. Had to shut it off, but it started right up again. I trust that Tony shouldn't have any trouble, and I still hope he's taller than I am. Someday I may have one of those trickle c...

This was a pistol job, I think. But also Western themed. Memory may be (is) defective. Wayne

I hope you're taller than 5'7". Mine's not a convertible, but it does have 40th anniversary stuff all over it, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it, and get lots of use from it. Let us know when you get it. Wayne

I can't disagree with you at all! Wayne

Taking one's time on a restoration project is good. Not so much on whirlwind trips. I have a friend who drives a Dodge truck, and he would tell you it's a good thing you weren't trying to drive an electric car from the Gilmore to California. That's as political as I dare to get, just quoting other p...

Gentlemen, Fraser and Tony, I bought an early 2000's Mustang used because I thought it would be cool to drive for an old man. I was told and discovered for myself that it was useless in snow, which we normally get much of. I also live at the top of a hill which makes it even more useless. So, in the...

Tony, I thought you had it cured back in 2011, too! Water is amazing, it will go just where you don't want it to.

I had a 93 Grand Marquis once that was headed for the junkyard. The only responsible thing to do was to shoot the poor thing in the side before they came to get it. I think I remember a movie or a show a long time ago, where the main character shot his car through the radiator after it became useles...
