PhilA Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 Another sweaty 30 minutes in the garage. Some worn out sandpaper on a wooden block to mark the high points. Bloody hard work. I think I got the high points, need to get the low points now. Phil danthecapriman, RayMK, Datsuncog and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyG Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 No real relevance at all, but I watched the film ‘The Detective’ with Frank Sinatra at the weekend. Detective Frank cruises around looking for bad dudes in a ‘66 Fury, presumably a ‘I’ model as it had the small rear lights you were given with this one. Great film for police chod, plus some evil gangsters in a ‘66 Mercury Monterey try to take him out but he lives to detect another day. The oldest car I could see was a 61 Chrysler, the New York climate was not kind to Detroit panelwork… eddyramrod and PhilA 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilA Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 28C, heat index 32 and blazing hot sun. Proper heatstroke weather. So, mad dogs and Englishmen occurred. Continued to extract the car. First decent look- it got a grande dent in the door and front wing. Dink in the roof is less bad than I thought it would be.

PhilA Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 Cleared a bit more tonight. Found my panel beating hammers at least. The side of the car it all landed against. The door still opens and closes with one finger. There was a 15' piece of triangulated roof beam slotted neatly between the car and the workbench. Doesn't appear to have touched it. Quite bizarre. danthecapriman, BlankFrank, Tickman and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Dare I say... that looks better than might have been expected? Maybe the layer of Bondo effectively gave it armour-plated properties? Glad to see it looking relatively unscathed, regardless! PhilA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilA Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 There does appear to be very little damage, overall. Seeing the paint made me stop and look at the colors again, too. I like the dark purple. I prefer the light purple but I know the car will get the nickname "Barney" if I paint it in that. Quite the dilemma. It also looks stupid on short radial tires.

Yup, Fury is a sought after stacklight. Obvs the Sport Fury is more desirable but this as Fury 3 is moderately well-specced (power steering, aircon).

PhilA Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 Might not be selling this just yet. We'll see. First step to redemption: pov caps on the wheels. Second, go to turn this over and find it's locked up, full of rainwater. It's moving but it's really unhappy about it. Might come round yet.

PhilA Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 There was no way in hell I was going to let this defeat me. So, I sat on Archimedes*, attached to the crank snout nut. I then repeatedly engaged the starter motor, which gave a shock large enough to fractionally move (1-2° a go) the crank round. It started to spit ATF out of the plug holes and finally it let go and span freely! So, naturally at 8:30 on a sunday night I had to put the plugs back in and see if it would fire. Which it did. Not well at all and only on a few pots but.. IT GOES. Phil *The name of my cheater bar. Don't you name your big tools?
