Homealone's 62 Ford Country Sedan Build Up

[Z06killinsbf]

No chrome valve stem collar? No attention to detail.

Stopped by cool cat's place today and buttoned up one of the well needed "to do's".

What a difference, it really tied the room together.

No new updates, too busy with work and cleaning up the Ranchero so I can sell it.

But, how about some 18's? Good guys is coming up again, maybe it's time to run the Supremes again.

Cool thanks for the info.

You can save some money buying from these guys by the foot.

Did you replace any door or window rubber? Trying to source some and Dennis Carpenter has some but not all. Haven't seen any others.

Love this build thread. I used the Peel & Seal stuff on the fastback and I'm really happy with it.

Nice job on your interior, Home Alone. It looks nice. I like this era of Ford. I learned to drive in a 62 Galaxie w/ a 292 and a 2 speed.

Super nice.

Excellent use of your first post.

Thanks.

The only issue I have had is the first pump lasted 4 days. Since I have not had a problem since, I blame the pump itself.

Now I do take precautions. Since the tank doesn't have a baffle, I don't run the tank under 1/4 tank.

I guess its ok then. Ive had mine like that for over a year or so, prob just over thinking. Thank you sir

have you had any issues with your fuel system setup? I did a similar swap in my 64 fairlane. I have a inline msd pump and its always performed well, but it seems like the pump flow changes from time to time just listening to the pump hum while driving. Mine has minimum interior and no insulation so everything is heard. I'm considering re doing the fuel system this summer installing a low pressure pump in the tank to feed the frame mounted one kinda like the 80-90s f150s. Thanks for the pics, very nice

On with the seats and carpet.

Tip of the day, when locating the fastener holes through the carpet, you could preinstall the fasteners, feel around for them and then cut your carpet, or do what I did.

No pics so you will have to use your imagination. All my holes were accessible from the underside of the car so first I located the area and had cool cat hold down the carpet. Then I heated up a Phillips screw driver with a torch and pierced the insulation, jute and carpet through the hole in the floorboard. This makes a clean, small hole exactly where you need it. And since it melts the carpet, it keeps the edges from unraveling.


Carpet laid in.




Back seat installed.




Front seat.




Carpet ready to trim.




Sill plates installed.






Getting there.




And until I can make some kick panels, we'll call this stage done.

Thanks for posting your build pictures. It's inspiring.

Thanks,

I've been driving this thing since September and it's doing what I want it to do. Haul parts, groceries and friends.
