I was thinking about what crusier said about lead paint used in th auto industry and about the safty of repairing these auto's. Any time that you use paint or sanding paint respertory protection should be used. Any time when repairing brakes respertory protection should be used.(asbestos) I used...

Go by any paint store and ask for the swab test kits for lead, most paint stores carry them. Just break swab and rub on surface and watch for color change.

There should be some pins that look like nailheads that the clips fasten to. The new clips will be a little tight at frist but that is what you want. When new top goes on fold the edge down so it goes under pin and pin protrudes threw top, this will secure the top. Put glue in channel so viinyl...

Cruiser, be sure and check around rear glass channels. if you see any rust take a pick and see if has rusted to the inside of car. If not bad clean out and apply a rust inhibiter paint to stop it from rusting againand fill with small amount of fiberglass filler. Don't use old chrome clamps when...

I have bought parts from all three and each have some of the best service, parts and information I have ever recieved. They are very devoted to the T-birds.

Have you ever replaced a vent duct cable on the drivers side of a Tbird. The cable goes over the sterring column brace and is locked there. Does the brace need to be removed to replce it.

That sounds as you may have a bad condenser in the distributer.

Trunk liner I bought mine from Mac's and it fit perfect. You will need to fit it frist. Start with the upper wheel wells frist and glue them in place. I used 3M spray glue to hold in place. Then fit the rest of peices in place. Do the sides last, should come with screws to mount liner. The...

try some silicone spray on window channels, sometimes they need a little slickum to work properly. I had to replace both window motors in mine, a little tight at frist. Then I used a little silicone spray on channels and got them working.

a switch is located on the back of inner door lock. Kinda a cam that opens when door is shut and closed when door is not completely closed. This makes a connection when door is not closed. Maybe broken wire or switch broken or dirty. Anyway door panel has to come off to access. Follow wire to...

master cly woes Hi, I'm new to the Tbird forum but not to car repairs. I changed my brakes over because of safty reasons. with the daul cylinder you don't loose all of brakes if one side fails or gets a leak. My frist car is a tbucket built from scrach. learned about the brakes on this the...

Harley, Cruiser, I found were wire went, It was broken loose from bolt that holds bearing in column just above rag joint. That will go away from where its located to a easier place to get at. I will install a small braided cable on inside of car to sterring column. This should give a more...

Harley. I will look again, I did not look at sterring column very close except on inside of the car. One of the last things on my list is to rebuild the sterring column, which will take place shortley. Thats makes more sense to me than anything else. The wire is black, maybe broken loose when...

Thanks cruiser I'm still looking for the broken wire, my ride has cruise control thought it went there but it doesn't. I'm going to check some PDF's and see if maybe there was a switch on proportion valve for a brake failure switch maybe there use to be one in past. I do know, however the brake...

strange wire cruiser, I have a ground wire that is broken loose located on drivers side of carjust left of sterring section. It is grounded on fender well under master clyinder just where brake lines go to the proportion valve. Can you see on your ride if it goes into wire harness connection...

vinyl top The original replacment top for 66 comes with excess material so it can be trimmed to fit correct. I ordered mine from Macs with the correct grain material for less than two hundred. And it was a padded top. Did mine myself and saved the 8hundred trim shop wanted, and it looks great.

vinyl top I did mine the original way, under drip rail and all other chrome related to car. The guy at the trim shop told the same thing about not going under drip rail, defeated my purpose of a full restore of not getting all rust out. Maybe replacing top again if it leaks under again.Thanks...
