    1965 Sport Fury Restoration

    If interested, here's a walk-around video with a video of the modification to the radiator support opening I made that day. The pictures of that process are above this post.

    Firm Feel Update. Its Installed! (mostly)

    I purchased a new steering box and had to make some changes for it to fit correctly. Had it all done and when I went to complete the hose routing, I was unable to come up with the fitting to attach the return hose. I needed the power steering to be finished, so I installed my original. I...

    Firm Feel Update. Its Installed! (mostly)

    I told my wife that I either had to start working on the car, or sale it, and I certanly didn't want to sale it. I started taking it apart in '07-'08, so I know about finding time to work on it! When it comes to the rear sway bar, mine wouldn't fit with the exhaust. I have a TTI system, and...

    Firm Feel Update. Its Installed! (mostly)

    Nice!!! I'm planning on putting a lot of miles on my car, so I haven't really skimped much on it. It's the most expensive build I've ever done for myself. It's my first car, purchased it in June of '79 and I'm making it the way I want it this time. Plan on going on many Hot Rod Power Tours...

    Firm Feel Update. Its Installed! (mostly)

    I haven't noticed any squeaks yet. I went with the 1.12" torsion bars and the custom springs to lower my car an inch or so. Matt at Firm Feel was good to deal with. I told him I wanted to lower my car some and I wanted to get rid of the floating driving down the road. I'm hoping to have my...

    Firm Feel Update. Its Installed! (mostly)

    I've made almost the exact same changes to my car. Did you notice a big difference in ride and handling? Hoping to be driving mine next summer.....

    How to get small items rechromed?

    I just did a search on Paul's Chrome. Like the postings here say, it's permanently closed. I clicked on their website and it took me directly to Speed and Sport Chrome Plating. Here's their contact info: 713-921-0235 404 Broadway Houston, Texas 77012 sales@speedsportchrome.com From what I...

    1965 Sport Fury Restoration

    On November 7, 2018 I made a post on page 1 of this thread. I mentioned that I got my pedals (for the stick swap) from a '65 SF convertible and that I'd mention it later, well, it's much later........ The car only had around 40,000 miles on it and had been sitting in a salvage yard since '70 or...

    1965 Sport Fury Restoration

    But wait, there's more............ Here you can see the cruise control box from Dakota Digital. I didn't want it under the hood where it would be seen. There's several settings that need to be made when I start driving it, but after I make them, I'll install the outer wheel well and it's...

    1965 Sport Fury Restoration

    Here's some other miscellaneous pictures...... I was unable to use the Edelbrock Performer 440 intake because the air cleaner would have destroyed the hood liner and possibly hit the hood. I had to remove some of the divider between the barrels on a stock intake for the Holley efi. I...

    1965 Sport Fury Restoration

    Here's some more.......... I put a dent in this wheel well for the A/C and heater hoses coming out of the firewall. After I finished painting the parts, I hung them to keep them safe until they were needed. Some of these parts hung here for 2 years. I used a grinder and then sanded...

    1965 Sport Fury Restoration

    I was going through some of my older pictures and noticed there was many missing on here, so here are some of them. I'm so thankful I didn't drive this thing in the winter (if you've gone through this thread you know I purchased it in June of '79) and blessed that I've only had to pay for a...

    I'd call Lindsie at PriFit, the number is (256) 835-7107. We've talked many times. You might be suprised. They do some things in-house.

    1965 Sport Fury Restoration

    I went through Pro Fit Auto Interiors and Parts. I ended up ordering everything from them (front seat foam, seat covers, door panels, headliner, arm rests w/red pads, seat belts, and chrome door lock knobs. I'm probably missing something, but you get the idea. If you go on their site you'll...

    1965 Sport Fury Restoration

    Here's an update on the Fury. I have a large BeeCool radiator installed in my car. It has two 1 inch cores and BeeCool advertises that it will cool better than a four 1/2 inch core radiator. It's supposed to transfer heat better. You'll see in the first photo the core is partially covered...

    Over heating

    There are some things to think about and understand better with any problem. When our cars were new, they could be driven anywhere, anytime, without the concern of overheating. Sure, they could overheat, but it wasn't something to worry about. What has changed through the years? One thing...

    Cooling issues

    If you have a nice solid support now, you might want to get an estimate from a shop to make it work with the larger radiator (show them my pictures). Once you know the cost, you can make a decision about purchasing another support and painting it. Keep in mind it could need repairs, rust or...

    Cooling issues

    I have a Bee-Cool radiator that was too big for the opening, I think it's a 26" radiator, but I didn't measure it. It made no difference to me, It fit between the battery and the right frame rail. It came with a notch cut into the tank for the right frame rail, approximately 3/4 of an inch...

    Gen III Hemi and transmission

    I have a .68 od Tremic behind a 440 with a Sniper-2 in my '65 SP. My 3.23 gears were like new so all I did is add a Yukon Power Lock limited slip unit during the rebuild. Doing the math with the 275/40/17 tires will have the rpm's at 1,950 at 70 mph. It's not legal for the road until next...

    WANTED Road Wheels - anyone?

    Thanks for the heads up on the mailbox. I’ve been trying to delete the messages and haven’t been able to. I’ve selected the boxes and trashed them. It then shows “no messages”, but when I try to send you a message it tells me the mailbox is full. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.
