New 1963 T-Bird owner
Hi
We(my husband,kids 16 and 11,and me) inherited from my uncle--orginal owner. Our new baby "Pink Lady" is a 1963 hard top, pink,with 26,600 miles. The inside is in wonderful shape, the out side is in great shape. I do have a few ?'s for the pros
1.new tires--ours are dry-rotted--can they be bought anywhere? or do I need to special order them some where?
2 chrome--no rust but some is green,needs a good cleaning--any great products
3--washing car-any products recommended
The car had not been started in over 5 years--we towed it to a garage to get it started--a new battery,new plugs and distributor, new points,air filter and she runs great---we were thinking of selling so we did not do anything else--we talked my mom--long story lol--into keeping the car so what else should we get done--we are not mechanical--but the shop we use is great and reasonable--250 for the above(witha few thing s I forgot added lol) I think we should replace the brake line/pads and all the belts---this all works but if we are taking a sunday/family ride I hate to have anything happen--am I a worried mom? or should we do other things--the car has been parked for over 30 years--started once in a while moved around the parking area,drive a mile or so--and nothing in the past 5-10 years
I have photos of before we moved it--she is dirty I will send later as my computer will not let me do it right now
Any help/advice is welcome as we a new to this and $$ is tight
