Thanks for sharing the pics. Some great cars there.

I spotted the huge snake in front of the guys car - best anti theft device I have ever seen

I have a '65 Dearborn car, dont know if its 100% as factory but will try to get some pics if it will help.

Thank you for the positive comments.

There are many memorials to US flyers here. All are lovingly tended by locals unkmown.

Last week on a charity run for the local childrens hospices we called in at Seething Airfield B24 Liberators.

A lady there recounted stories of her life a small child playing around near the base.

She is now a curator of the control tower museum and has amassed a vast collection of memorabilia and has organised trips over for the flyers and ground crews to their old airfield. Her knowledge of individuals and events was staggering.

A quick aside - in 2000 I had the privilage to fly with Carolyn Grace in her Spitfire MK 1X ML407, converted to a two seat trainer after the war.

We flew over Madingly American Cemetary Cambridgshire to say Hi and Thanks to the Guys there - it brought tears to my eyes.

OK - now You are curious.

Today we took the Mustang out on a 80+ mile navigational run around some of the many wartime airfields in Norfolk.

We live in East Anglia, an area literaly peppered with airfields from WW2, some of which survive being used as airstrips, gliding clubs or museums.

The MGOC organise a run every year following a different route that you have to follow using a tulip route book. It is open to all.

The start and finish this year was from Tibenham Airfield, B24 Liberators.

This year Memorials were not easy to access, some being on industrial areas locked for the weekend. There are many in the country side, sometimes under a big shady oak at the side of the road, all are beautiful.

The route comprised mainly tiny single track lanes with grass tufts in the middle in places. The idea being to find some space and be alone with your navigator pointing the way.

We had an annoying chap in a green Triumph GT6 who seemed to think he could save fuel by slipstreaming us, a brief spell on the A11 to Snetterton came along, the K went thru the gears, I leveled off at around 110, looked in the mirror and he was a distant speck, very satisfying.

A great day, couple of pics from Old Buckenham. B24 Liberators. James Stewart and Walter Mattau were stationed there.

Cant see a price - what does he want for it ?

Quote from zray

don't know. but I hope you are not planning to stamp the number from your title on any new pieces of sheet metal. If they are not stamped then you have to leave them that way, or have your states DMV do it, & then you will likely end up with a title that says the VIN is state issued, even though it's the same VIN as Ford put on it.

it's a Federal felony to stamp a VIN unless you have a manufacturers license , Yes, even it's your own car. I know people do it all the time, but it's still a Federal & state felony, and could bite you in the ass at a traffic stop, or when trying to sell the car. If it was my car, as long as I had one VIN still in place, I wouldn't stamp a thing.

Hey don't blame me, I didn't write the law(s).

Another nice pic of the 'scruffy' car

Welcome, good luck with your project.

Hi Tim

What plant was your car built at ?. I have a 13R Dearborn car, would be happy to trade info / pics etc in aid of restoration.

Mark

Cheers guys

I had a go at replicating the marks I found on the axle when I detailed it. The Markal stick was a bit crumbly, but I guess came out OK, the surface was rough so they might go better on a smooth surface.

Quote from 6hypo5conv

Mine looked very similiar, the very best thing to do is photograph the "HP" from many different angles and use a grease marker to duplicate when you put the engine back together-there is almost always a very faint residue left for you to follow.

When you say use a grease marker, do you mean a Markal paintstick?.

I have a set of these but they dont seem to work that well. I wonder is there a trick to using them?

Thanks

Superb, thanks for sharing

Guys

Dont fight over it, I have one that can go to the person who does not get this one.

OK shipping has to be from the UK but it wont be too expensive I'm sure.

Send me a PM and I can email pics etc.

Yippeee

BBQ

Take care and look after that car

Mark

Ahh I see you're bored Ray, Ok where does the pink wire with the purple spots...............

PS ever thought of buying a goat !

Thanks a bunch Fred.

I was too busy looking at the radio on the diagram to notice that the bulb was listed seperatly.

Thanks to your location description I should be able to find that wire in the car.

You'll all be pleased to know I dont have any more wireing questions

Thanks everyone

Mark

Quote from C6ZZKGT

The second wire on the radio is for the light.

-Fred-

Yes I get that Fred, but where does this lead connect to in the car?

none of the diagrams even show it.

Thanks

Quote from jwc66k

On that link, scroll down to 66 accessories. It's close enough for your car's application and large enough to see.

Jim

Only shows one power wire to the radio on that.

I'll have a look under the dash to see what there is.
