Hi Dave, this is Steve in Maryland. Your project is coming along very nicely and I'm jealous. Lol! I wish I was that far along with my '64 Polara but life and other work just keeps getting in the way.

I noticed your recent pics and the one of your installed heater box in particular caught my eye. Can I ask where you found that large, flexible hose that connects the 2 pieces right in front of the passanger's feet? In my convertible, that piece of hose/ductwork was all but destroyed and I haven't seen them reproduced..... Thanks!

Hey Steve, I may have an good extra one.I'll look and if I have one you are welcome to it. Dave L

Here's a C List ad from Southern Calif, for a 63 stage 1 Maxie motor.
The build date is too late for my 64 4 speed, 426 Commando belvedere (exact same color combo as your Coronet).
He told me it his uncle bought it in 64 or 65 & he did a valve job & honed the cylinders before it was put in storage. http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/pts/4517693711.html
