I decided to not install it at this time, It mounts right on top so You would have seen it.

I added aftermarket Vintage Air to my '64 Polara. This would be the time for you to do it.

I love it !! A guy on my block had one in that bronze color back in the day. Reminded me of the "turbine bronze" car. I'd drive this car every freakin' day !

I have it in the home heated garage, Will take a few months to put everything detailed and put back on.
I plan to drive it often. KK is going to do the brakes for me.

Just a little update.

Last week we installed the bumpers. Week before installed drivers side lower control arm. (Swiped one off a parts car in sub zero temperatures) Have to get it back on the ground to set the ride height and final torque. @FU64RY has been polishing trim and installing them among other things.

PO had separated the drums from the front and rear hubs. They replaced the studs and the shoulder on the knurled part protruded too far out past the drum and the steel wheels wouldn't tighten up.They were okay with the mags that were previously on it. Plus the studs were loose in the hub, they had tack welded them on the back side but never removed the coating on the studs so there wasn't any penetration. A couple had fell out when trying to place the wheels on. So we had to remove the hubs to fix this. Drivers side not too bad, passenger side was a SOB but finally got it. We might have a set of studs that will possibly press in without welding. If not they'll be welded in properly.

Working on a car that someone else has already...well you know, can be challenging to say the least.
