Hi Fred,
I don't think that has been done but I am going to take the wheel of the car and take it in next week or the week after.
I have had my doubts about it ever being resealed as I think the valve was leaking the first time and when I picked it up it still had the old valve still installed so I questioned the bloke about it, was assured it was good and continued to have a leak which I took back to get a replacement valve the week after and have not had any work done at that place ever again.
I read about porous wheels hence the paint to seal it up but I suspect the bead was never cleaned properly by the couple of tyre places that I took it too.
It is time for new tyres due to the age so I will get the tyres removed, take the wheels home, clean the bead area, maybe spray a coat or two of paint and then get new tyres after that.
Thanks Eddie

Hi Everyone, my LH front tyre/ wheel has always lost air as long as I have had the Kar, over 25 years.
The wheel are Shelby ten spoke and they looked old when I bought my Kar in the 90's.
The leak has gotten worse over the years and only lasts approx. 1-2weeks before needing air again.
I have had the tyres resealed several times but this has had mixed results.
The tyre place I am probably going to buy new tyres from suggested painting the inside area of the wheel in an effort to make it airtight.
I feel reluctant to pay someone to do a poor paint job on the wheel using a spray can and I would prefer get the tyre removed and clean the bead area up and then apply some paint.
Any ideas on the best type of paint for this type of repair keeping in mind that I am in Australia so some products won't be available here but Eastwoods and VHT are. So 2 pack or spray enamel etc.
Thanks in advance Eddie

Hello Fred,
Parts arrived, they all look great as does the choke linkage kit from Mustangs ETC.
Once again it has been a pleasure to deal with you.
Many Thanks Eddie

Try googling fitment of the panels you are wanting and look at the youtube videos to see what problems people encounter when fitting them if no one has any suggestions for you.
Good luck with the body work, Zed

Hi, here is a set of new KPI Hi-Performance K code manifolds, Pomona CA price $350
https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-63-64-…f4cc4%7Ciid%3A1

From memory I think they produced variations for Mustang, Fairlane and Falcons back in the early 90's/ late 80's

Thanks Fred, email sent

Hi, I just had this arrive in the post today and thought that I would share some pictures.
It is missing the choke linkage- I am thinking of buying a Mustang Etc repop?
Missing a brass tube- used parts carb?
Bent throttle linkage- straighten out or replace from a used carb?
The rear venturi booster does not have a check ball?- used parts carb?
Dashpot and bracket missing- used parts carb or NOS dash pot(eBay) and repro bracket?
Thanks in Advance Eddie

Just post pictures of your Kar(s)!

Hi, RHD when I got.

Hi, just saw this on VMF and thought it was interesting.
For sale in Hickory NC. a bit of discussion about it with a previous owner making comment.
Sorry Fred I got the link from the VMF forum and cut and pasted it.
I have deleted the classic cars link from here.
Here is the VMF link

I apologise for any inconvenience .

Hi, back on eBay again?
It is a different seller but at least he has put in seats and shiny wheels on it.
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1965-FORD-…SsAAOSwRMhdLH5q
With all the work they have put into $24000 AUD?
It even looks to be in the same paddock.

Hi, this has been on eBay Australia for awhile now, seller states cheapest K code on the planet.

Not my Kar and I am not travelling interstate to look at it but I am putting it here for all to see.

VIN is still there but no door tag but what can I say, $19800 AUD plus shipping back to the US this might be the car of your dreams(nightmare?)

Thanks for the replies. That is what I suspected. The plexiglass stay in, as a parts car is not so easily found in little ol Adelaide.

Regards Eddie

Hi Fella's, my Kar a 66 Fastback has 66 GT350 plexi glass windows instead of the side vents. Is this a bolt in swap or does some cutting of the body need to be done to fit these type of windows in? I bought a set of vents a few years back so I could change it back if needed.

So if and when I change it back to the vents is it as simple as bolting/ screwing it all back together or does some fabrication work need to be done?

Thanks Eddie

Hi, has anyone heard if Don has made these yet?

Regards Eddie
