Hi A & G and all:
I guess the "restoration" process begans when one starts to disassemble a car
for that intended purpose. I have to (shamefully) admit that time for my
white F convert was about 1975. That poor car has remained completely apart
(only thing still bolted together is the rear axle to the car's paint stripped
body) since then. It has been moved in the meantime from Holly to Lansing to
Quincy, Michigan, then to Tallahassee. I do believe all parts are still present
and accounted for, and make use of it as a guide during the blue F resto.
Haven't snitched any, either! Is 29 years enough to qualify me for unoffensive
restoration speed, Gloria? It might (should?) be grounds for dismissal from
the Club! Happy New year and increased restoration progress to y'all in '04!!
300ly, Gil

Wow! Talk about lettercars with a high risk of becoming parts cars.
Perhaps its time to replace the word "restoration" with "reassembly"?!? 'Cause we (and Gary Goers) sure aren't getting any younger.
Was it Josey Wales who said that "a good man has gotta know his limitations"? As a fella with many, many, many limitations (especially mental & financial), I've readjusted my expectations from restored -- to -- driveable. Takes a whole lotta pressure off of the ownership of junkers as well as adding a whole lotta near-term enjoyment to you AND the lucky folks at your local cruise-in. Ok, Its a whole lot cheaper, too.

Good eyes, Don - yes, it is most definitely a "heater delete" car !
Amazing - I had never seen one. Note the heater box delete, as well as the
cover where the heater blower motor would be ! as far as the fan / heater
controls - also deleted ! I wonder what the two remaining buttons are for
??? I guess the heater hoses go to that extra "tank" in the trunk !

Subject: 1960 Mirror Question
I want to add a passenger side fender mirror to my 1960 and I want to
be sure I buy the correct one. I have the triple strut remote
adjustable mirror on the driver side, but should the passenger side
mirror also be a triple or a twin strut mirror? On the remote
adjustable mirror, the center strut houses the adjuster cables, so
it kind of makes sense that the mirror without the remote would be a
just a twin strut. Does anyone know which is correct?
Thanks,
Gary

Worse case is that you can use wires from BMW 6 cylinder(4's may be ok also,
I have never looked at them) motors from late 70's to early 90's and
possibly later. They appear the same as early hemi plug wires but of much
higher quality, especially the insulators.
I had a new set left from my 633 csi and as a number of my Bakelite
insulators in the B had given up the ghost and electrician tape would no
longer hold them together,
I gave them a whirl and they worked just fine. Even the lengths came out
ok.
I have used them in my B for some years now with zero problem.

I was amazed to see that too! Gotta be one of a handfull of letter cars ever made without a heater. I think the two buttons are for "OFF" and "VENT", even with no heat, there was a way to get fresh air in. Helped get the burning rubber smoke and smell out faster! :-) I have never heard of the extra cooling tank in the trunk. Looking close, I see what looks like hardware store fittings on the engine. Probably some owner added accessory. My expereince with the heater delete cars with the Ramcharger and Super Stock Max Wedges in '62 and '63 and I never saw a setup like that.
BTW personally, I think the term "heater delete' is inappropriate, same with "radio delete". To delete an accessory implies it was standard equipment, which in most cases they were not. If you had bought a $2964 Newport in '62, It wouldn't be called a "heater delete" "radio delete" "power steering delete" "power brake delete" "automatic transmission delete" " O/S rear view mirror delete" etc., etc., car. Even though common options which most were equipped, ALL those options had to be added on the order sheet. On the other hand, a New Yorker with a 3-speed manual would be an "automatic delete" car because the automatic was standard on a New Yorker. MCG uses the term very loosley and it has caught on. Just hard for me to figure how to delete something that wasn't there to begin with.
