Today I finally loaded the long-ago sold '64 Avanti on a trailer and
delivered it to the man who will store it for my buyer until he comes back
to get it.  While the thing has fought me all for two months as I tried to
get it ready for my buyer, it pulled on to the trailer as ...

Well, I haven't been able to get the broken tap out...yet.
Set it aside and worked on others...
I can do all the hand grinding on 4 manifolds and then my right hand goes
numb.

I see the light.....

it has rained here for days and i got into the video's last night. I
was watching the pure stock muscle drags video that I got a while back.
The brown wrapper has the sound i like. anybody know what the mufflers
are and is it a stock 2" or did they allow a larger system to be used?

  just watch the Pebble Beach show on  the tube. the winning car had a
12,000 man hour restoration. Run the numbers on that at say $75

My 64 Commander VI goes nowhere after sitting all winter.  The
Flight-O-Matic looks all clean inside with no obvious broken pieces, so my
guess is that it probably needs a rebuild (new bands).  I've checked all the

Gang, any recommendations for something I can spray inside a cleaned set of
doors & trunk lid?  I guess it would have to have an extended nozzle
fitting (like a can of WD-40) to get in the tight spots.  I seem to
remember something like this..?

Mine are frozen after years of not being used.

What would you suppose reserve is on this beauty?

A few years ago I had my little 63 two door with twenty thousand original
miles painted...or at least they threw something at it that sort of
resembled paint. The guy was highly recommended and I had known him for
years.  What I DIDN'T know was that he had developed a nasty ...

   I'm a the very bottom of the restoration curve on the wrapper.
Engine and transmission is out, hood, truck and doors are too, they are
stripped and primed with etching primer. Just spent a solid week sanding
and prepping the body shell. All paint is off, the little dents and

It's me, Ross, infrequent poster, daily lurker. You may recall that I have a
friend and neighbor who has been selling off a 45 year Stude collection.
Many of the cars are gone, although about 8 remain. However the reason I am
posting today has to do with the parts, of which there ...
