Thanks for the info Jasper, regards.

Have any RF owners found a different source to replace these poly bushings? Thanks, Dan

Need to replace all the polyurethane bushings that are crumbling,( still need to source those) finish tuning the engine, charge the ac, wiring the driving lights, seat belts, alignment, registration and anything else Ive forgotten. The 63 is a old friend I bought & rebuilt in 1991, sold in 2003...

RF-1 in Florida Still not finished :( but getting close

Hello Chet, I'm in the Cape if you ever want to check out a old Roaring Forties car.

As soon as I got the panels home I started re-assembly, the paint color I picked from a BASF chip, it has a fine silver metal flake and looks much lighter in the sun, I'm very happy with it.

Well its been a long time since a post. I have been continuing to work on my car. I finished the body work in December and 8 weeks ago I removed the panels, rented a truck and took them to a paint shop. They did a great job and I was able to watch on two separate days of shooting in the paint...

Hello, I love the car, think it's a great step forward. They state it will be a much lower production than the previous car and higher price, so I don't think they need to make a R/H drive. Dan

Hi Randy, The engine is running the HO firing order. Today I seperated the wires as far as possible from each other,, running 2 on each side top of the valve cover and down and the other two under, but all as far away as possible starting from the cap. The Engine started better than ever, I...

Hi Guys, Cam is a X303 roller , crane 1.6 rockers, a TWM stack injection on a 347 with performer rpm heads. Thanks Bob on the tip on venting the cap etc.

Hi Guys, I got the engine fired up on my GT and am suffering little induction pops and sometimes in the exhaust. The engine is also surging as I'm sure it is sometimes firing at the wrong time on compression. I have tried routing of the wires as Ford calls for it. This seemed to help some but...

Thanks Guys, Dave I bought a whole hide off ebay, I looked and the seller does not have any more of them. Their are many listings though for leather, I just used 3M yellow automotive super contact adhesive and several band-aids for my fingers after dealing with razor blades trimming the stuff!

Good Luck Mark ! Thanks for all the info you have posted on the forum during your build. Regards, Dan

Got settled in Florida and some work is progressing on the car. Intalled Dynamat , then Dynaliner on bulkhead, then leather I purchased on ebay, I then followed by installing the mid screen. Now working on console. Need to come up with a boot cover for the shifter and brake handle, It would be...
