    Our 62 Nailhead needs a rebuild. The shop we chose has rebuilt them before and has dealt with Russ at Centerville auto repair for knowledge and parts. Cyl 8 has a broken exhaust valve.

    And…………?

    can’t make any guesses on number 8 until the head gasket, piston and cylinder wall get’s looked at.

    Hello, good luck on your 62. I rebuilt mine a while back. It came out very good (so far). It looks like you have factory AC. I was wondering if you'd be willing to post a picture of the lower fan shroud mounts on the radiator? I've been trying to find a set of those and I don't even know what they look like. I have the assembly manual for the car but it's a drawing and at a weird angle.

    Do you still have the brackets? I would happily buy them if you do. I would buy any other AC parts you have as well.

    Gotcha, thanks. Best of luck with the rebuild. Please post progress reports. It won't be cheap but it's pretty cool when it's right.
