Fireball

Nope, mine was MoPar and the relay was marked as ASD in the drawings. Maybe you don't have to worry about it with Ford PCM. My starter spinned ok but engine refused to run without that relay connected. I just remember it did not make any sense to me when looking at the schema back then, but trial and error just got me pass it finally. Somehow the PCM stayed at shutdown mode without the relay. Maybe the PCM sensed resistance or some other signal that was not up to the par with direct wire without the relay.

Looking good. When I was doing my wiring for the PCM I remember the automatic shut down relay being part I did not include at first and that prevented the startup. Added the stock relay and badabing it was alive. For some reason it couldn't be bypassed as my initial thought was. Not a biggie after I got it figured out. So my suggestion is, locate and include that into your harness for PCM input.

Heres more pics of our local show today http://public.fotki.com/LancerSTW/oulu-show-2013/

Here we go gents, the bird is ready and in the local show as we speak

A day well spent with reconditioning the taillight BEFORE AFTER

Thanks Mark and everybody. It's a Triumph motorcycle color actually, shows all the curves really nice in real life, and truly pops out on edges when the light hits. Just what I wanted. Professional work for a month was really worth it, those looooong panels are laser straight

After a month paint is done. Pics don't do justice of my fresh candy but boy it's just what I was looking for. I just cant wait to get back to garage installing all the chrome back, new whitewalls, new seals etc.

Trip to painter has started, this time I'm not painting it myself. I have to admit that I have never faced such a hard time to decide the color, but boy did I find a nice shade by the end of the day. You'll judge my choice when it's done. I just received new whitewalls, and ordered a ton of new gaskets and chrome. There's no doubt it will be ready for summertime.

First two layers came easily off with heatgun and spatula, I didn't use that method into roof at all to avoid heating the headliner, and on the other hand one has to be really careful not to overheat the sheetmetal too. Large areas may warp. The rest with portable rpm polishing machine and 3M paint/rust strip discs which do not eat metal at all. All together I counted eight layers of paint. Roughly 30 hours of elbow grease.

Thank you for the tip fellows

Hey Mark, I will. This puppy really gets me going, took the whole 15 minutes to weld all the rust I found. Easier than I ever excpected. Whats Redi-rad?

Gotta agree with the interior, someone really put effort into design back then. Harold, that's priceless! Occasionally AM receives signal from Russia, but theres no real use for the radio. I think one could rebuild it to receive FM but thats too pricey I assume, so hidden FM/CD/MP3 player is my route. The plan is to build an "elevator" for it under the dash if there's enough room, or just put the unit into trunk and use remote control.

This is really one of the easiest projects I've had, and I've had plenty. No rust, all parts there, interior is already redone with black leather, tagged to Finland and technically a ok. Waiting for the summer already. The amount of details is jaw dropping in cars of this era, at least after D-24.

Hi guys Two weeks ago I bought this 1960 bird with originally equipped 430 cid and cruise-o-matic. I just found out that only 4.3% of the production was set up like this. This puppy was imported from CA in 2004. I'm preparing it for repaint, all the way to bare metal just to be sure there's no surprises. I found couple small dents and only one dime size rust spot. Amazing. Sorry it's not Mopar this time,but surely a model that everybody has an opinion;) I'm struggling with the color really, I'm not even sure whether to go two-tone or not.
