I was recently helping to clean out a foreclosed home and as I was cleaning the garage there I noticed this gem wrapped in a plastic bag in the wall. I unwrapped it to find an old classic ashtray thats in like new condition. Problem is I have searched the net for any info on the part number and can find none....I am curious if this is a prototype that has never been used as it says sample # on it as well as For production Approval on the back sticker.
Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated. I don't know for what make or model this is for either so I am looking for help all the way around. Once again thanks for your time and effort!]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/140558/lacquer-paint-wax Mon, 31 Jan 2011 20:24:32 +0000 wizade 140558@/forum/discussions
I have a 1954 ford customline with about 50% original paint .. car only has about 31,000 miles and has been garage its whole life, so the paint is real nice. Even the replacement paint on a few of the panels is original lacquer style (was done in the early 80's).

So my question - I'd love to protect the paint - but can non-clear coated paint be waxed ? If so, by what?

Thanks in advance guys!]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/140616/57-fairlane-popularity Wed, 02 Feb 2011 06:08:44 +0000 HudMotCarCo 140616@/forum/discussions

Thanks]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/140056/fuel-pump-identification-assistance-please Thu, 20 Jan 2011 07:56:07 +0000 Oakleygold 140056@/forum/discussions It was found in my friends Fathers garage after he passed.
It was in a box marked Ford parts. Knowing how his Father was we are pretty sure it's for a Ford, probably an industrial application, maybe even a tractor? Although his Father never restored any tractors that we know of.
It's an AC fuel pump (#855708 stamped inside glass bowl housing)we can't find any other information anywhere about it. What it went to or a date so figured we would come to the experts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/139294/1966-ford-fairlane-gta Tue, 04 Jan 2011 06:50:03 +0000 Lars 139294@/forum/discussions
I recently got the complete overhaul kit including a converter for my C6 auto-transmission from Summit and installed it in my car with a mechanic friend. Neither of us have any experience with auto trannies but all went smoothly just the same.

Now, the problem is that I am not at all satisfied with the way the car behaves now: the upshifts are ok and not jerky, however, the transmission seems to waste a lot of time (well, milliseconds...) slipping or at least not doing much work. For instance, when starting from a full stop the cars does not move the instant I start pressing (gradually) the gas...in fact there are several moments or some travel of the pedal before any action takes place.

Also when coming to a halt after driving at some speed, the tranny seems to take too long in coming back to low again.

A new fault that just commenced is that in reverse the car will not move smoothly now but will suddenly zoom back in a jerky way (chirping tires and all).

My "BIG" question is what can be wrong? Some tell me that I should replace the modulator, but we did already, so what else could it be?

I should add that there is no local shop that will take care of my beast, they are all seemingly busy making money on modern auto-boxes....so I need help!!

Any clues, possible steps to take, possibly troubleshooting tips, etc???

Thanks for any help!

This is my first post to the forum. My computer buddy is helping me do this.

I love working on and restoring classics. I do my own welding and metal fabrication, and do my own spray and shoots too. You can find pics of my 1941 restoration project in progress, just begun on 12/12/10, at "Mike Lombard's Home Page". You can skip everything at the top and just scroll straight down to the very, very bottom of the page to see the photo album with a dozen more pics ... so far.

Link is below ...

Merry Christmas! ... and I hope you enjoy the pics.

Mike

Has anyone removed the front seat from a 40's era Ford? I thought removing it on my 2Dr sedan was going to be a snap. I can see the bolts going to the chassis but I'm having difficulty getting access to them. I tried prying the lower seat side panels away to get a clear shot at the bolt heads but no luck.... same with the lower back rear panel. Just don't want over-muscle something and break it in the process.

Thanks for any help.]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/135643/1948-ford-convertible Mon, 25 Oct 2010 02:41:35 +0000 Sherry 135643@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/134644/looking-for-some-info-on-the-57-ford-fairlane Sat, 09 Oct 2010 07:07:03 +0000 67Chero 134644@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/135248/no-spin-rear-end- Mon, 18 Oct 2010 05:07:12 +0000 Richie 135248@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/135443/tires-for-a-1965-ford-t-bird Thu, 21 Oct 2010 02:41:11 +0000 fritz1011 135443@/forum/discussions
I have a 1965 Ford Thunderbird (2 door Landau) that needs new tires BADLY. I am stuck on what kind or brand to buy. I want to keep the white walls and original rims, but I would like to get something more like a radial tire instead of the steel belted style. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a good brand or type of tire?
