Mr. Richard Thomas how could we have even doubted the inevitable outcome?. This man is Top Shelf in All He Does so between Jen and Chris or 'ChrisJen' they are going to raise one heck of a crafty DIYer in their household that may just outpace the both of them once they hit their mid 40's.

    This is my 93 yr old Dad's (still with us!!!) favorite car of all time. I remember as a youngster, we'd see one driving by, he'd point it out and say, "Some day when I get rich, I'll buy one of those!". Of course, life got in the way, him and my Mother, God rest her AWESOME soul, worked bloody hard to raise my four siblings and I, and to make sure we never went without. We were never rich, but we never doubted they loved us.
    I remember when I was a know-nothing selfish "tweener" and there was a school Halloween carnival that I wanted to go to so bad (cause there'd be girls there!) that my Dad said he'd take us to, well, the time came and went and Dad didn't get home till hours after the carnival was over. I threw a mini-tantrum,slammed a few doors, said some things I wished I could take back, but I got over it. Years later I learned my Dad had taken a second job to make ends meet. Never complained, never made excuses, never shoved it in our faces, just fulfilled his responsibilities as a father to his family. Gets me choked up just to type this, thinking of ALL the sacrifices they made on our behalf. My God, we've been blessed to be raised by such selfless, nurturing parents.

It helps that you do your work where you have your workshop, whereas ol' Derek does it on-site. Two different ways, both cool. Note: I'd never have believed, after looking at those cylinders that that engine would ever have run without a complete overhaul.

    Hey Chris I believe they make tuning kits for the vacuum secondaries. They come with weaker and stronger springs. You may be able to just put a weaker spring in and they will open under load.

    Great video, I always learn something while watching your videos. We are from Ohio and just stayed in Riegelsville Pa. for 8 days and visited many small towns up and down the Delaware River, including Frenchtown and New Hope. We loved every minute of it, beautiful area full of history.

    The trim, glass, door handles, and insignia badges… etc are all easily worth $150. People don’t think of how much value there is in all the small, nearly impossible to find parts.

    @46:30 I would bet that the secondaries are not opening because they are hitting that plate the adapter plate. Check that when you go to put it back on sit down and run a flathead screwdriver down inside and open the butterflies up and see if they get that plate first.

    Reminds me of the old story about a guy whose car breaks down a block from a service station, he pushes the car there, tells the mechanic what happened, the mechanic pulls out a stethoscope, takes a listen, gets his ball peen hammer and carefully takes a whack at a specific spot. The mechanic tells the guy that that will cost him $50.00. The guy is shocked, and says, "I could have done that with my hammer". The mechanic replies, "I don't think so! I knew where to hit!" You, sir, are Mr. Determination, Mr. KnowHowToDoIt. Nice job.

    I'll say it again, such an interesting place you live, Chris. HISTORY! Speaking of which, my Grandparents had a '65 T-bird. I was only 3 years alive at that point, but I still vividly recall sitting in the drivers seat and being fascinated by the switches in the center console, all the stainless steel around me, and how different it was from our no options '53 Chrysler.
