64 Fury

Wish you were closer lol... I saved this wanting to find a car like yours but never did. The manifold was stolen so now has a single 4 manifold. It was a 64 engine. Anyway very cool build. Good luck and keep posting the updates.

Hey miller, is this what you are talking about?
Yep. They come in several different sizes, and grits. Usually use the edge, not the face, meaning the flat surface. Can get too heavy handed...
Just another option.

Wow! Nice power plant! It would likely be out of our budget though. Haha. As much as I would like to make this car a perfect restoration it belongs to the boy. His money and sweat will make it special to him, at least I know it did with my first ride :)

Went to lowes and grabbed a similar one... $15... It did awesome! I'm a little worried about losing metal but it would take 2 years any other way. Got a fender and a door stripped today. Will post pics later... We are hammering out the fronts of the fenders now, they were terrible down low.
 
Front of the DS fender. Hammered out as best as I could.

Haven't posted in a while... Disassembly continues... Tranny out, only took 3 hours to figure out that I needed to release the clip to get the shifter linkage out. :)

Now we are getting the brakes off (Grrrr).

Going to have to do some cowl repair, not for a concourse restoration but to keep rain out of the kid's car. Haven't gotten to the rear end yet, but we know it's an 8.75 can't see the ratio tag (if there is one) for the grime. Block going to the shop for a tank and inspection this weekend. Trans going to the same shop.

I'm sure I'll eventually figure out how to post pictures in the order I want them. I apologize. IMG_1848.JPG
 
Be VERY careful, when it's time to pull the rear glass!!!
Yeah, it will need to come out, to deal with rust issues at the body seam. Trust me.

Are we havin' fun, yet?

Which seam? Where.... all the floors and trunk pan look good.... Quarters are shot though.
 
Which seam?
On both the front, and rear glass, they fit into a rubber gasket, that has a groove for the glass. There's also a groove, in the gasket, that fits over a spot-welded 'seam'.
Likely chance you'll find rust there, where water gets trapped, in the low areas.

So, the fix...pull the glass, and rubber gasket...to get to the rust. That's unless you don't want to deal with it. Those rubber gaskets usually need to be replaced, anyway.

All depends on how far your going with the car. The rear glass is getting hard to find, from what I hear.

The rear seal looks great by comparison... The front came out in 43,000 pieces. We will probably let the rear slide for the moment, if it leaks later then we will tackle it. My main concern at the moment is getting that cowl cancer taken care of. I have to learn a whole new skill and shape it by hand from what I gather. Found a great tech write up over at the HAMB... hope I can pull it off!!!
 
WOW!! Gonna have your hands full with that firewall. Love the updates, please keep them coming.
 
Dash out, picked up some seats out of a 2010 Avenger (at least it was a Dodge) for $150 at the junkyard and got them cleaned up...The front buckets will need a block on one corner and the backs are going to require some finageling... I think they'll work out though. Now to get the heater box out so I can get the radiator and heater core pressure checked... and then get started on the firewall repair, not looking forward to it... :/

Looks great!
One of the most Iconic car styles of all times
I just sold a 64 Sport Fury to a guy in Nowray
 
I know it’s been a while, but there’s things going on....

And it's fifty years old! I put fresh rubber parts in mine, all in all, around a $1000 worth. I'll add, mostly front and rear glass, once pulled, then the old seals, usually find a good deal of rust at those seams. Better to deal with now, than later.
Hint. If you try to pull the glass. Hit the rubber seal with a good coat of WD40, and let it soak. It helps to soften the rubber. To take the window out (in one piece), go by how the service manual tells you. Get one of the nylon wedge 'tools', that's used to get between the glass, and rubber seal. Go slow! That's how the glass is forced out of the rubber groove it sits in. Opposite to put the window in, with a new seal.
Both front and rear glass, bottom corners are the critical areas, easy to break.
Once I dolled up the front/rear window seams, I put a line of window sealer into the seals groove, that fits into the metal seam. Work it all into place. Then, I installed my glass, only using lightly soaped water (helps it to slip), and glass goes in with no sealer. Once in place, rubber groove does all the sealing. Mine is dry.

I know it’s been forever but we’ve made a little bit of progress.
 
Wow! The firewall looks great. I guess you're a fast learner... I miss the days of working on my 3 sons' cars with them. These will be great memories some day.

My suggestion if pulling the glass is since a new seal is available & new glass isn't cut the old seal, take your utility knife & run the blade down along the glass straight into the seal, cut the top face of the seal away & lift the glass out.... Ive done it this way many times & never broken a piece of glass....
and FWIW I agree the glass should come out, take care of the rust now rather than have it be a problem later... Plus it'll make headliner installation much easier... BTW Great Project!!
