What have you done to your wagon lately? (Let's keep the thread going!)

You mean "Welcome *back* to the Colony Park Club!" If you don't already know, I had an '83 CP a couple decades ago. And I hope to be able to keep this one a lot longer than the four years I had the '83.

 

I have an extra one 1/64. PM me your contact info, and I’ll drop it in the mail.

 

Negatory.

 

I remember those windshields. They were called "instaclear" and had a bit of an orange tint to them

 

And an orange ring around it. Those were cool. I had an uncle with an ‘89 Grand Marquis with that windshield option. The car was burgundy, so that pinkish window looked great with the car color. Lol

 

Well, I live in Texas, of course, and perhaps last February I might've needed it, but this month, we had our Arctic shot, and I had no need to drive, so it wasn't needed. I'm not sure if I'll restore that option or not; when the windshield was replaced, the pigtail was cut. I know the glass end was a special design, and so far, I have not seen a single Panther with that option, so if I can't replace it, I won't replace the glass either.

 

60Mercman, not real sure how to pm you.
Thanks for the offer.

 

I washed this one and warmed up the old one. I think we were back into the 50’s as far as temperature goes.

 

Just sent you a pm. Conversation. Thx

 

I finally picked up an Offenhauser 5416 4 barrel intake for my 230 inline 6.

I now have my Holley 390 carb, split exhaust manifolds (12 bolt.com), and my Offenhauser intake, so it looks like I need to test fit them and decide how to paint/coat them and then final install. I also need to get a gasket and get the new valve cover and side covers ready for paint/coating also. I want to install everything all at once.

 

Boy, was I wrong. And this second shot had almost constant wind chill. I know. I spent three hours chasing truck parts Friday afternoon. At least the winds had died down by yesterday morning, when I chased more truck parts. Here's to a righteous Texas spring, starting today.

 

weather in ny is crazy also one day in the 50's thenxt day in the low 30's cant wait to cruz again

 

It took me most of the day to figure out the “UNIVERSAL MESS” of the parts and pieces that came with the Indy 3 speed but finally have that installed. My next project was to clean the fuel tank but decided to buy a new one instead so now she sits again.

 

so i swicthed the shifter with the ball for the pistol grip i had layin around .so i can move the seat up, its temp. till i find the rite shifter.

 

After spending 300+ on the shifter I still had to spend another 50 for a decent sized knob and boot. Jegs sent me a previously opened and scratched shift lever. But it’s in and working.
