BTW, I used my "Mulligan" on my first wife as well. Same thing, this one isn't really into this either, but is starting to come around. She actually went to a cruse last 4th of July with me and enjoyed herself.

Karl,
My 'new' wife grew up with an older brother and his friends in rural South Carolina... she knows that boys like to 'play cars'. So long as we get to spend some time together during the week, she knows that I need time to myself in the shop, and sometimes I need other friends to come over so
Glad you guys got it right the second time! I did it right the first
time. My wife buys me tools as presents(glass Bead cabinet for
Christmas!!)...awesome...she probably got it from her dad(30+ Ford
mechanic).

Hi Brad,
My '66 is manual steering and brakes. You just have
to be aware of stopping early, and turning from a dead
stop can take a little energy, but I always look at it
as exercise I can use 8^]
Once the car is up and rolling, the steering is cake.

Brad,
If you like the car enough to buy it, upgrading it to power steering and
brakes isn't a big deal and can be as cheap or expensive as you're willing.
If you do buy the car, manual steering and brakes aren't that hard to live
with. Stock manual steering has a very loose ratio so turning at
My '70 Camaro had manual steering. It was a big PITA to parallel park, but
otherwise I got used to it pretty quick. I don't know enough about what the
difference would be for a bigger car like that 4-door 300 Deluxe, but I
imagine that it can't be much worse. Besides, it's a good workout! ;-)

I used to drag my feet to stop my 65 with manual brakes. Put power
brakes w/ disks on it and enjoy the ride - you may need the extra power
to save your ride.

It's time for me to install my new grill. The
fastener kit I bought came with the original style rivets.
Anyone here have any experience installing these?
Is there a special tool out there I can get, or make to install these
rivets?
I have seen the screws on eBay that were discussed
here,
Herb the Global arms are fantastic! I wish the service was the same. Some of
the fault is mine. I should have opened the packages myself, but the
mechanic said he would do it, and I assumed he did. I even asked him if all
was well!
