Good looking XL.

I know you have heard this before, but I really do appreciate your service. So many did not make it back home. Sad. Thanks

Yes. In post #6 the lightweight is the one with the graphics. It was owned and raced by Augusta Motor Sales (Ford dealer in Staunton Va.) from April 63 to April 64. It was sold to a private individual who used it as a daily driver for one year. My friend owned it for 57 years and sold it to me a...

R code lightweight engine bay

406 engine bay

No. I have not. Mine does not have the original engine, but is a 406FE

Yes. The fastback and 427 both came out mid year. From what I have read, they still had about a two week supply of the 406 engines, so 136 of them made it into fastbacks, some B code and some G code. Of course the square back cars got most of the 406 engines. I would like to find original...

Here are mine

I need a nice set of 1963 Galaxie 500 front fender emblems, left and right. Phone 804-814-7156. David

I appreciate the updates. Thanks

I have suspected I may have the same problem, but have not checked them yet. I have read where they can get warped, and I believe some people file them down

my 63

Gene F, That's a cool set up

Just an occasional driver to cruise ins and for pleasure. Ha. I was sort of joking as you said earlier to SoCalCoupe it was disrespectful to ask for help and not show picture of an original G code. Wish I could find a solution though. Thanks

I have a 63 406 tri-power and I have issues with the carbs also. It does get very hot under the hood. I'm sure it probably boils when shut down. My problem is with the carbs leaking down. If it sits for days, I have to crank a lot to start and it runs rough until warm. Once it warms up, it runs...

It would feel awkward shifting with my left hand, but am sure I could get good at it, if that was mine.

I really like that. Cool
