I am a new member. Here is my project. In January I purchased a 64 Tempest Custom in nocturne blue with Aqua/blue 2 tone interior from the original owners. I have the original title and the envelope it was mailed in. It was well taken care of garaged and has 75K miles and is completely rust free. The car was a 326 2B 2 speed. We took the car down to bare metal and painted it Nightwatch metallic blue. all new rubber trim for the doors/windows etc. All chrome trim was re chromed. All the stainless either replaced or polished. We replaced the ball joints, idler arm, center link, pitman arm and control arms as well as new shocks. Bead blasted the remaining parts. Removed the rear end and bead blasted everything and installed 4:10 posi gears and added the control arm braces from Ames.
We have a performance prepped 700R4 trans mission with a 2200 stall convertor.
We are currently assembling the engine. A 1966 389.
Adding a tri power from the parts place. TRW flat top pistons, Eagle H beam rods, stock crank, #92 70cc heads with new valves, springs, retainers, performance angle job etc.
Adding a crane 041 ram air cam with 1.5 roller tip rockers, Melling lifters Melling hi pressure pump, Crane double roller timing set.
We hope to get the engine installed next week and the car running and on the road in about 3 weeks. She will wear 255/60R15 Rally wheels.
She is a highly optioned car.
1W,2A,2K,2P,4G,5W

Your welcome GT!! Pictures really do not do this color justice. Seeing it in person is so much better. I first saw this color on an all original 62 Tempest four door at the POCI convention in Charleston WV and then about 10 cars down the line on a 62 Bonneville. So keeping my Gold car original was a no brainer!! Can't wait to see your car GT!!
