I like the look of it, Em. It's a nice shorty look, good stance, I always loved Moon discs. If it bottoms out too often I can see addressing that, unless you cruise slow and easy and don't worry about it.

Who knew it would be so painful for you to step up like that!?!?!

You have that little rascal looking good, Em. I think you ought to test-fly it up to some of your old North Texas stompin' grounds in the near future.

Thanks Jim, slowly but ?surely? I guess. Don't think it's possible just yet but maybe we'll cross "Tracks" (pun intended) before they take my license away from me. LOL

I sure would like to ?Fly? (see link) her up to your neck-o-the-woods and take in this Show. - - - -> Home <- - - - It should be a stem-winding GOOD'UN !

Take Care,
Em

Really coming around to be one fine lookin' toy, Em!!!

Em they have a used driver's side spindle on Ebay right now.
1962 1963 Ford Fairlane Mercury Meteor D S Spindle With Backing Plate | eBay

Maybe a wrecking yard? Seem to be a hard to find part.

The previous owner has the old spindles but he won't return my calls or emails so I'm probably SOL on ever getting them.
I'm thinking that ?when it comes time for new rubber, some tires with a decent sidewall will make a lot of difference. The ones that are on it now don't have hardly any sidewall. OH, the PO also said that the disc brake were different on each side but I don't remember exactly what the difference was. Guess that bridge can be crossed when it shows up, huh?

thanks for the tip, Stovens, I do appreciate it

Probably should have googled this but I wasn't sure if there were more than one option.
QUESTION: On the brake light switches that are operated by the hydraulic pressure from the brake line. Is one of those connections supposed to be hot all the time no matter if the key is on or off?

tnx
Em

I can't swear to it Em... But, I think one side should be. Need a wire diagram to be certain. I also think it is a fused circuit, so check that before going to far.

Yes it is a N/O switch and it should be fused

Thanks Charlie - - - - I"m working on getting my Wiper Motor installed once I get it back from my friend and "BELIEVE IT OR NOT" that hot wire from the brake light unit was hooked to one side of the wiper motor wires. JEEZE

Here's a wiring diagram for ya cowboy. You owe me a good joke. HaHa Nolan

oops double post

Thanks C/A, but those things and my one eyed vision don't seem to be too compatible - - - - it appears that the wiper motor on this one doesn't go thru the fuse panel (if there is one) so I'll have to find a hot lead and go from there with an inline fuse along the way. Ain't no way I can get under the dash and do it the right way hahahaha
