Re: 1960 Galaxie Clutch Linkage
I have found 3 donors all wagons. I will have to catch the guy open and see what he has. I doubt if many wagons were ordered with a manual transmission but maybe I will get lucky.

Re: '52 F-1 Engine Swap
I pulled it from my '56 Fairlane to put in a 312. It was a factory 4 barrel car and I just assumed it was a 292. I've had numerous flatheads in my life and I like them but I plan on using this old...

Re: Frame rot 1956
I have always thought the primary reason for the angled "guard" would be to deflect the frame up and over something instead of just ramming into it.

Re: 55 Fairlane New member/barn find
Well, some of those factory welds back then weren't too pretty but at least you have a good cross member. Yep, that skid plate was there originally . I guess it is there so whatever you hit it will...

Re: 55 Fairlane New member/barn find
Check to see if the front cross member is rusted out. It's a very common problem with these cars. If it is bad you might as well tackle that first.

Can anyone tell me the difference (or show me) between a '39 standard and a '39 deluxe floorboard transmission cover. Near as I can tell the '39 deluxe is made of that rare metal, Unobtanium.
