Hi and congrats on getting a Tbird. I agree with Ford blue blood. I'm in the process of chasing a mysterious electrical problem and have taken out half of the interior in the process. Since my interior is original and in pretty good shape I am worried that I am going to break, bend or tear...

I'm interested to see what the others say here because this is a chore that is on my to do list too! A previous owner diconnected the emergency brake some years ago so I'm not even sure what it is supposed to look like. Right now it just looks like a mess. Good luck and if you come up with...

Hello Harley, I am still a bit of a newby to posting and messaging and only just realized that your message was here. My apologies. What I thought was a ground wire on closer inspection is actually two wires. One is black with a green stripe and the other one is plain black. These two wires...

Thanks Yellowbird, I gave the fuses a quick visual check to make sure they weren't burnt out but didn't take them out. I put new fuses in the day before the problem started so maybe I did something then. Harley, I am talking about the black wire that attaches to the threaded post on the back...

Hello again, it's been awhile since my last post which is good as I usually only post when I'm looking for a solution to a problem. However, I enjoy reading all the other posts and frequently find a solution to one of my problems in them. My '63 hardtop is generally very reliable but during...

Thanks Ford Blue Blood and sc4668! I haven't had a chance to have an in depth look yet but will get around to it this winter (June, July and August down here in Tasmania). I took it out a couple of weeks ago and after an hours drive on a hot day it wasn't leaking. However, the leak had...

The other day I pulled up to the lights in my '63 hardtop and immediately noticed smoke coming from underneath the car. I pulled over and discovered a constant drip (a drip every three seconds) of transmission fluid from near the inspection plate. The car was flatbedded to a mates house who has...

I have been planning to do this for some time now and have had the same questions as nagel. Was putting it off but now may not have a choice. Last Friday I drove my 63 Hardtop to work and ended up getting carried home on the back of a flatbed due to fluid spraying out from somewhere. After...

I tried the tool that Ford Blue Blood refers to. I still found it difficult to get the clip to come off and ended up scratching my aluminum somewhat. (probably my lack of abililty more than anything) A mechanic then showed me a little trick that worked great. Get some very stiff wire (fencing...

I suspect Harley Eaton is talking about WHETHER you have AC and not what the WEATHER is like within the car. (Although, I suppose if it does have AC you will be able to control this to some degree) Good luck with your purchase. I've had my '63 hardtop for about four years now and love it...

I was able to get to my speedo cable by reaching up behind the gauges from underneath.

Sorry, I can't help you with your question but wondered where in Australia you are? There are a few bird owners down here in Tassie. I am aware of 7 within 45 minutes of where I live. cheers
