Post by CM Sackett »

My little "DX" shop truck has been waiting 10 years for all the parts-n-ideas to come together. She should be back on the road by Friday...

Mods, I just noticed the "Projects And Builds" forum... this may be better suited to that one. My apologies for not noticing quicker.

'65 Olds Starfire... with a B&M Quicksilver shifter, topped with the Starfire T-shift handle (threaded to match the shaft on the shifter). The '67 Mustang "deluxe" wheel will be sporting a '57 FORD center emblem within a couple of weeks. And the console will be topped by a new '56 Fairlane trunk emblem, where the Olds badge was.

...appreciate it.

Lord willin', she'll wear her current colors-n-"condition" for a year or two (EVERYTHING ELSE is BRAND NEW, from the dropped I-beams and shackles, to the ADCO swaybars, 429 SCJ, and race-prepped 700R 4... I have a Gear Vendor behind RUBY's 429, this option is far less costly, and accomplishes more in the roadability dept.)

When I strip her down, I'm going back with this color on the body (and a cream spray vinyl roof)-

The body trim is going to be covered in a "honey oak" Di noc... sort of a "Country Squire" look.
