My fuel tank on my 65 looks to be in good condition...on the outside, but I know it'll probably be filled with 55 years of who knows what. Is it possible to drain it out and flush it with some product to at least make it decently clean? One thing that might be of benefit, the sender on the 65/66 sits directly o...

Can anyone tell me on which dimple the ground straps mount on the firewall on a 65? And the short strap from body to frame? There are multiple unused dimples on the firewall, but they differ in position from my 67 where it's straps are located. Cant find it in a 65 assembly manual. I now know the straps come...

I figure I'll kind of document the repair as it comes along. Every car probably suffers some form of this. Got the hard sealer out from around the window. Looks like the glass has been out, and an attempt to reseal it was done, evidenced by the sticky sealer. Along with some very poor epoxy repair towards...

Just PSA for the 65 guys. Remember this... There are 12 bolts holding in each grille. 4 along the top 4 along the bottom 2 at the headlamps And 2 studs inboard at the nose with speednuts. I removed all the bolts and nuts, but the grill, although now loose, was still trapped with no way out. Pondered it fo...

Guys, I'm going to cut out and replace small sections on the 65's front fenders. Probably 1.25" x 16"along the top of the fenders on the hood gap sides, not visible with the hood closed.

Almost like it's been cut from a full panel. It's not advertised as...
