Location: Minor Hill, TN		Its getting there with time and patience it will get done. I will start the restoration on mine this winter. Right now I am enjoying it taking it to a couple of cruise ins , car shows and it will only be in 1 Christmas parade this year.
I have found some parts for my car and they are on my watch list on ebay. When I get the cash I hit buy now or bid on the item I want to stock up on spare parts.

Location: atlanta		Just had the guts to open the new white covertible top I bought off Ebay about a year ago, I didn't expect much for $35.00, but man it's beautimus!, I think with the Baby Blue paint and the blue and white interior and the whitewalls, it'll look better than the black top. A shout out the W. Weiland for the "heads up" on the top on Ebay, Thanks Wayne.

but will harden about like window glazing . still coming along nice ------------------------------------------------later

pssss. did you use an adjustable prop. valve ?

Location: atlanta		Thanks Steve, appreciate the compliment, Yes, an adjustable Wilwood valve, Chuck. By the way Chuck, i need a recipe for the poly, I talked to Neilson yesterday about a cam, lifters and V springs, I'd like to go to a spin on filter, won't the Hot Heads bypass valve work?, the timing cover on the 61 motor has corrosion eating into one bolt hole, i have a 66 motor out back, will the timing cover off of it work? not sure about timing marks, have to look, what harmonic balancer will work, SBM, 318-340 steel crank? I know there's a list in the Big Book on things that will interchanbe, but not sure if it's for pre and post Poly's.

Location: atlanta		As of now, it'll be .030 over, P-600 3 X 2 intake and Ford ECG carbs, I have a set of the Austrailian Fountain aluminum valve covers, and a set of the Spitfire shorty headers. I'll use a Neilson cam, lifters and valve springs, a Flowcooler water pump, a roller timing set, MP or MSD distributor ad a Crane HI-6 CD box and coil. I do have an old Mallory dual point, and all you need is one set to trigger the CD box. This plan could change if I find a complete 383 sonoramic motor and trans on the side of the road somewhere.

Location: Perth Australia		LA 318 timing cover fits, its just got the marks on the left side of the engine

You can use your original pointer on it and time it as per usual

The trap though is that there is 1 bolt hole that they deleted on the LA that the poly has, it down the left side about 1/2 way down.

You need to plug this hole before the timing cover goes on, because it covers it a little bit, I just used a bolt that I cut of and wound it in with
gasket silicone and then staked it to make sure it wouldnt come loose

Location: WHEELING,WV.>>>HOME OF WWVA		my cam is a 480 lift , duration 274 , overlap 54 , from schneider in cal. , 318 poly solid lifters . the springs and caps are comp cams cause i didn't like the cap fitment on the ones i got from the left
coast . if the old cap locks look good , reuse the old ones . if not schneider can fix you up with new ones but they don't have any new 318 poly blank cams to grind the last time i looked . the way it
was explained to me , that 480 was a good street choice and should have no match up issues like a wilder cam . the 480 will give you all the kick ass you want , especially when using stock heads , which
i'm also doing . those trips you got are they dumpers with plugged idle circuits . if they aren't they'll be hell to tune . with the ends being true dumpers just the center one needs bolted on at start up . then
when you get the break in done add the other 2 true dumpers . if they aren't true dumpers about the only way to set em up is by vacuum , which might be problematic depending on how wore the trip cores
were before rebuilding . butttttttttt you could use the ends as dummies and only use the center 2bbl --------------------------------------------------later

Location: atlanta		I soulda jumped on that cam ya sold, sounds pretty good, how wide was the lobe separation? I'll have to recheck the carbs, with heaers and cam, be a shame to run dummy outboards. Those pistons/rods, and rings I got from ya, are those the truck dished pistons with about 7.5 CR.?

Location: WHEELING,WV.>>>HOME OF WWVA		the cam i sold was a 460 lift . the new one lobe separation i don't have . for a street cam i really don't think it's needed . those piston i sold ya were mated to the motor by local napa machine shop and
should be 9.1 : 1 . brand not sure but most likely silverlite or federal mogul , which is the same . if you run them trips with a heavy foot , be prepared to get @ 10mpg ---------------------------------------later


and do what was suggested up above . for an extra couple hundred or so get it balanced .

There are VERY few Verts that have survived and you will have a great car when finished. A 318 with 3 onda tree in a Drop Top. Ya gotta love it.

Silk hanky! LMAO

Old man? no, ancient is more like it.

Three pedals? yep, three on da tree, actually 3 1'2 if ya count the E brake. 318, 030, P-600 with trips, Flowcooler wp, Cloyes chain, Fountain aluminum valve covers, Spitfire headers, electronic dist with Crane Hi-6 MSD and LX-92 coil. Nothing crazy, just a good running cruiser.

It was a great day in Georgia when they started allowing us to use year-of-manufacture plates on our cars.

I thought 1961 tags were yellow, is this one a special?

You ned to stop comparing this red car to the black car you had or you'll never be happy with this car. Why not recreate this red car into a copy of the black one, i think that's what will satisfy you the most.

I doubt anyone will notice. I found an originally white 1961 public service commission tag that I thought would be cool for my green wagon. I repainted it black because I liked that color better and held my breath that they would accept a Public Service tag on a passenger car. They didn't flinch, and so I ride!

At the risk of polluting your thread with more ugly 1961s.....

Your right Roger, but getting over a loss like that takes time. It hasen't even been a year yet. Steph is moving forward at her own pace and seems to be getting past it pretty good. Hell ...... I still greave about cars I shouldn't have sold years ago, let alone lost to a tragic event like a fire.

I don't think a clone is the answer either. She will, in time, make a connection with the red Fury and memories of the black will be laid to rest.

Location: atlanta		For her sake, I sincerely hope so, and I hope she doesn't talk about that black car in the presence of the red one, they hear everything, ya know. Ya have a point about getting over the loss of a car like that, even being stolen woulda been better than burned alive, what a gorgeous car she was!
