Yup, that confirms it. And confirms my guess that the holes were there for the mounting of the splash guard. Thanks again!

Yeah, right! FCBO featured in AI! Cool. This was my first time using ChatGPT too. More pictures attached. I'm definitely going to need to locate or fabricate that mount and weld them in. The 3 holes are a curiousity though. There are more along the frame, so I wonder if they might be...

Thanks for the follow up, my convertible did not come with sway bars originally. But it will have one eventually. I'll figure it out, but will need to have some mounting brackets fabricated and welded to the frame. "Easy mounting" said Classic Industries. Yeah, right.

Thanks Big John. No, my car originally did not have a front or rear sway bar. The diagram helps yet I'm still a bit confused. I asked Chat GPT for her thoughts and this is what she said: Install front sway bar I believe that I will need to have some tabs welded onto the frame to support the...

I purchased a front sway bar from Classic Industries for my 66 Fury III convertible. Part #FSB862 It appears to be a nice unit however the instructions are worthless. I've attached them here. I've contacted Classic Industries help desk and have not received a reply yet. Maybe they'll reach...

Thanks for the reply and education. Yest my car does have AC but I was figuring that I could modify one of my existing panels and graft that control area to the delete panel with some careful dremmel trimming and JB weld.

I found one on ebay but the seller couldn't find it in their garage or warehouse. Who does that? Attached is what I'm shopping for and the last picture is what I have if anybody needs it or willing to trade. In addition I need a window guide for the driver side rear window. The guide piece...

Dude, you're the coolest! Thanks so much for the schooling. It's great that there are guys like you in this forum! And yes, support local small business whenever possible.

I need a windshield for my 66 Fury convertible. From the forum here, it seems that it's different from the wagon. Are they available after market or do I need to hit up a salvage yard? What about the gasket?

318 poly. Right now she's at Carburator Land, the rebuilt 2bbl Carter wasn't running so smooth, and I have a 4 bbl intake, so yeah, that's happening. Electronic ignition, choke too. I'm going for more smiles per gallon.

Right on, I'd love to see your ride personally. Mine's in the hospital fixing the stuff that I don't know how to do. Hopefully she'll be fixed up and ready over the next 10 days. I'm optimistic that I'll score some goodies there, I've been there a few times before. It's a great swap and show.

This is how I bought the car, most of the trim was missing. I've been able to find everything, but now I need to figure out how to mount them. Also being in SoCal, I've been told to try Hillco fastener in Garden Grove, but I'm guessing that I'll have to drill out the holes and find some...

I am replacing the original 2 barrel manifold with a dual plane 4 barrel intake manifold and my mechanic says that a Holly or Edelbrock carb will not fit due to the bolt pattern. He suggested looking for a 600CFM AFB carburetor with an electronic choke. You seem to know your stuff unlike me...
