This is kind of an off the wall question, but did the Slicks 61-66 all take the same style of bottleneck hubcaps? Or were their different versions? Just out of curiosity.

Here was the post about the concerns of Uship.com. Again, I had no issues, but everyone's case is different.

That seems really high to me. I had a cab shipped to me Arizona to Pittsburgh and it only cost me about $600. I went through Uship.com as well. A while back some members had some concerns about the information they requested. I didn't have that issue but every case is different. Hope that helps.

Hoping we can get something together. Cant promise my Slick will be ready either as ill get it around the beginning of March and it will need some work, but would love to meet some members. Maybe we could pick a car show and plan a get together.

Is there a hotel members usually stay at?

A custom shifter isn't a bad idea. But to be honest nowadays a manual shift with no power steering is just as good a theft deterrent as an alarm system.

Thats funny Rich as thats the exact way he explained it to me as well. Last question. He put new headers on it, but the rest of the exhaust is missing. He said it would need 2 mufflers and 2 tailpipes. Are there diagrams of these exhaust systems and their components? I can seem to find a picture any...

Wonder if I can find a shift knob with the pattern on it. I don't think the original had a shift pattern on it.

That makes it so much easier to understand. Thanks guys. Hoping to get it and post some pics soon.

Ok I think I understand. Ignore 1st but it is where it normally is top left of the H pattern. 2nd is bottom left in the H but start there. Would reverse be left and up or right and up?

That I honestly don't know. I didn't think the 61 originally came with a 4 speed on the floor. He did say the 1st gear is like driving a tractor, whatever that means. I had just never heard of reverse being left and up. Ive always known all the way to the right and down.

Looking at a 61 unibody. Its a four speed on the floor but theres no shift knob. May seem like a stupid question but whats the shift pattern? The owner says it came without the knob and he said its a standard H pattern with reverse being all the way to the left and up. Ive never heard of this patter...

Won't be getting my Slick for a couple more weeks but I'm down with a Mac get together sometime. Preferably when its warmer, as we get pounded with the snow here.

Very much appreciate all the advice. Ive opted not to pursue. I didn't like how he was unwilling to send more pictures. Not so much looking for a show truck, more of something to have some fun with. Of course I'll do some work to it, but want to enjoy it as well. Thanks guys, the search continues.

I actually asked for more pics and he said he was to busy to take more. Looks nice but it will go to someone else.

Thanks for the response. Not to sound stupid but FE?

Its about 4 hours away from me so I'd like to get some ideas before I call him/her to check it out. Any thoughts?

I have an extra set to but am in Pennsylvania. Not sure if someone is closer.

I'll take a couple larges if the idea is still out there
