    Window felt (fuzzies) options

    I know they reproduce them and I bought some and just didnt like it. I am not a fan of the beaded stuff. I am installing new channel and it is un-beaded. So, I am wondering what others have done. Pictures would be great if you have any Steele has some un-beaded like this. It is expensive...

    Stacks, can you share any information and photos on what you did for column supports (dash and floor) and did you do anything different for the large firewall hole? What pump did you end up running, ford, borgeson or saginaw? I have the borgeson box mounted and I have a late 60's Pontiac...

    Window Channel Installation

    Ok, I found a guy that has them, wants $50 shipped for them. So, not to questions Fords design here, but in your (and anyone elses) opinion, should I get them? It probably hasnt completely made sense to me since I havent seen it all installed before, but just looking at the car and the...

    Window Channel Installation

    That is interesting Rick, he didnt mention it and I cant find a reference to it in the illustration book. Wouldnt have a picture of it would you? I just emailed him to ask about it. All these dang parts got so many names (cat whiskers, fuzzies, etc) hard to keep up. In your post you...

    Window Channel Installation

    Found a donor for the parts I need, should get them ordered today. There are 2 brackets that go on the quarter windows (2 per side) as well. They are the 2 shortest brackets in the pics. Decided to get the lift channels from him also since mine are banged up and 3 of 4 are not straight. All...

    Window Channel Installation

    Thanks. I have the glass runs, but I do need the fuzzy strips that go on each side of the glass. What I am mainly searching for now is the car parts that I dont have, and are not re-produced, that hold the runs in place correctly.

    Trunk alignment - pic heavy

    Out here fiddling with it. I loosened the bolts holding the lid to the hinge, it will actually slide forward some on the drivers side, actually a lot. I can slide it far enough that it would rub paint when closing. Pass side is tapped out, no room to slide forward. Yall got me thinking...

    Trunk alignment - pic heavy

    @crownvic55 - This was not a frame off this time, however back in the 90's when my dad and I did a half @ss restore on it we had the frame off. That was many moons ago, so as to the support question, I really dont know. We were both novices so my guess would be it wasnt supported as well as it...

    Window Channel Installation

    Looks like on the door side of the quarter channel it just screws in. There is a lone screw sitting there in mine. On the trunk side of the channel I see there is a piece or bracket of some kind that is attached to the channel. Looks like a specialty bolt and nut of sorts that goes through the...

    Window Channel Installation

    Thanks Frank. I was looking this morning on there and didnt find any, but was looking under 56. I bet the 55 is the same. Do you know about the quarter windows? Is there a piece or pieces for that as well? I know a couple other guys on ebay that part 55-56 fords and have bought from them so...

    Trunk alignment - pic heavy

    THe thought did cross my mind to slot the holes a little bigger to move it forward a little. The qrts have not been replaced that I know of. My parents owned the car since the 70's and it hasnt been replaced since they owned it. I have the manual and was laughing at the major adjustment last...

    Window Channel Installation

    THANKS for the info and pics y-blockhead! Man I knew there had to be a piece missing. I dont have those pieces. I let a body shop have the car to paint and I decided to put in new glass then to. So they removed all that and put the new channel in (screwed it up big time) so now I am re doing...

    Trunk alignment - pic heavy

    Got this on the HAMB group also, but figured not all yall in that group. It may be an alignment issue, but I cant find it. When the trunk is closed its not flush. It is up around the rear windshield, but starting about half way back its raised up. Pictures can explain better than I can. I...
