As a historical note Ray Brown sold his seat belt company in 1966. It became American Safety. He stayed on a couple years and then went to Superior - the wheel company.

Quote from: pbf777 on March 13, 2024, 08:04:48 PM......the "Australian Block" Cleveland,The Aussie connection came about because Ford had sent all the Cleveland tooling down under. It ended up cheaper to have the stuff cast there and shipped here than to make new molds and cast them here. Development didn't stop they created the "pillow block" to get a little more water around the top of the cylinders. The A1, 2 & 3 heads were good but they got surpassed by the Yates heads. https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-6049-C3
Quote from: wcampbell on March 13, 2024, 02:21:27 PMThe guy who only makes !0% on the deal won't survive long. When I was looking for a Model A dealers were snapping them up from the kids who inherited them for $8-12 grand and flipping them for 20-25.
Probably a dealer looking to move it on in a week for 10% more...

Dang, that tag is digitally altered? I can't believe what can be done these days. I'm afraid to ever look at another car that I might want to purchase.
Quote from: propayne on March 09, 2024, 04:11:18 PMI would not be surprised to even hear he painted the Mustang I for Troutman & Barnes. He did the first Cobra for CS - several times. Lots of shops called him in when they needed show quality paint. He went with Phil Remington to Dearborn to fix the J car aerodynamics and turn it into the MKIV. He was fast and built quality stuff for the movies. The big cross town rivalry was between him and Barris. Dean Jeffries wins IMHO. When Jim Russell bought the first Daytona Coupe from SA with fresh stock 271 hp HiPo and Webers he had a Tony Nancy interior installed and show quality paint and bodywork done - I've always suspected that Jeffries did the body & paint. This is the "unrestored - as raced" car that is in the Simone museum.
Was surprised to learn that Dean Jeffries painted the Cougar II.

-Why not register it it California utilizing your NM address and run 'black plates'?
Quote from: Steve McDonald Formally known as Mcdonas on March 07, 2024, 07:22:40 PMI guess they just made them up as they went alongMost of the time a dealer has a DMV person who fills out the original paperwork and files it. Mine said CPE (Coupe) for body style. Technically that was probably the closest since if wasn't a SEDan or CONvertible. Mine was delivered by HiPerf Motors to Hertz. I'd assume either of them would have filled out the paperwork for DMV correctly.

I recently formed a Montana LLC to title and register a couple cars. Worked fine so far! I would recommend.
