Hey dale, i have a couple of cars that could do with having the odometer wound back. You any good with Statesman Speedos?:lol::smile01:

Looks like you are turning a car that was excellent to start with into something really special.

Can`t wait to see it in the flesh.

I doubt it Rod.......... my first attempt. Mustang speedo is very basic & was real easy to do, If I can do it any one could. I guess you would need to just have a look at how the mechanism on the Statesman speedo works & go from there..

yeah, mate.......the backs were relatively easy but the fronts are much more complicated & time consuming...I started on one of the fronts a week ago but haven't had time to finish it yet. You need to buy a pair of hog ring pliers & about three hundred hog rings & away you go. Firstly you need to remove all the old hog rings ( which is the hardest part ) then remove the old covers & reinstall in the new covers in the reverse order of how they came apart. My covers are TMI brand & seem to bo pretty good quality, I bought a Master Trim kit because I have to change blue trim to Black.

That would be great Tim............always hard to find reliable info when your trying to make something as correct as possible, so many cars are altered for one reason or another. If you get any decent pics email them to me at ambc_au@yahoo.com.au

Cheers Mate:thumb:

Antique Tyres in Victoria.
http://www.antiquetyres.com.au/

a  guy named Harry was very helpfull, reasonable costs. These were my second choice I really wanted Goodyear Polyglass tyres but got sick of being dicked around by the local dealer here, so his loss. I put these up against the coupe today & they really fill up the wheel arches  :thumb:

65 GT350's had the exhaust exiting in front of the rear wheels, they were renowned for their loud exhaust note. 66's had full length exhaust systems with the tailpipes exiting under the rear valance. I'm rather keen on the looks of the car grabbing your attention first rather the noise......dont need any unwanted attention from the boys in blue etc....:thumb:

Be careful on those tyres if they're cross plys. If you're used to radials, you'll be surprised at the lack of grip cross plys have compared to radials. I'm old enough to have driven on cross plys and I wouldn't go back to them, especially in the wet. Eddie

yes cheers Eddie youre right but I am not building it to hoon in, I will not likely drive it when its wet anyway. My coupe I have had for almost three years still has the original American water in the wiper water bag that it arrived here with...............never sqirted the wipers, not likely too either.:thumb:

but in saying that I still managed to clock up 10 thousand miles in that time.........so not too bad

Wish I had the balls to use them on my car. You're correct, they look so right on these cars. That's why B F Goodrich tyres have such a following, they're as close to the look of the old crossplys as you can get. Eddie
