    A little midnight garage cleaning

     



    Just when did you think I would do it? During the day I'd be paying a nurse to be with Dad, but late night when he is tucked in, I can do my outside chores. Of course my own doing that for the past 20 years couldn't get one car in a 3 car garage. Cleaning it up to get the Track-T in was no problem because not only does it not take much room, you can see all corners of the T going in. Not the same with an enclosed car and its blind spots. In the past I just did the easy thing, buy white vehicles that have no fear of sun fading and leave them out.







    This is the last car that found refuge in the garage around 1985

    Hey Bob,the tyres (tires) on the back of the V are not that short width rise over what is on the back of the T. Still could do with some more tidying though in that garage for the other new toy.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    Whip, I saw your garage, you don't have leg to stand on. You will when you get the other knee fixed. I'm going to fire off a PM for you on my site.

    It could be found in the '64 Galaxie, but save your money. For what a side oiler goes for today, you could spend less for more power with an engine builder like Scott Shafiroff. The side oiler is just fast vintage, perfect for Cobra replica's and mid '60's Ford restorations but it really isn't that powerful by todays standards. For $14K you can get an all aluminum 427 sbc with EZ-EFI. Drop the aluminum and EFI, and you will still have the same output of 525 hp @ 5600 and 550 lb/ft @ 4200 for $9250.
