my 62 landau
hi, i was worried it would be a year before anyone saw my post! seriously, i looked at some of the post dates and see this area does't get much traffic (we'll see what we can do to change that!). i am planning on driving the car for a while and we'll see what happens. i have already put a set of 16 wheels on it and am in the process of cleaning and polishing. i got two parts cars with this and am using the best of all three. since i am in california, rust is not a concern. my problem is all of the cars are worn from lots of driving. i am going to put some suede paint on it and some front seat covers (they are starting to crack) and i just stripped a 66 so i will try to put front disc brakes on it and a dual resovoir master cylinder (i had a single fail once, thats all it takes!). i am toying with the idea of putting a 4 speed in it and maybe a 460 but i was hoping to find some info before i start as i want to make sure it is an easy swap because there really is no need to swap it is just ego that makes me do it (you should see my 64 studebaker wagonaire project, stude 289 full flow motor with a ford 5 speed and rear, 16" wheels and about to be 4 wheel disc brakes!) thats about it for my plans, i hope to be driving in about two weeks. thanks, hawkrod
