My 68 Coupe

My old thread is really old so I am just starting a new thread.

After years of farming out stuff, time to take over the day to day stuff. The undercarriage is a oily mess. I spent 4 hours cleaning the under side of the engine. Noticed the inspection plate for the flywheel is missing. I wonder when that happened.

Only stopped because it was 99 in the garage,

Nice colour. What is that?

I just call it Ford Blue. The dark blue engine paint matches it perfectly.

Continued cleaning, today it was the Front passenger side Wheel Well. I saw the backside of my chrome wheel was painted black. Since I know I never did it, I wondered why a shop would do it and also not ask me if I wanted it done. Also saw some beginnings of rust on the wheels making me think that maybe these were not my wheels.

Also 2 lug nuts were stripped. The threads seemed good on the lugs so I chased them and put all new lug nuts on. I just bought new tires in July so I'm going back to the shop tomorrow to talk to the manager.

Swapping wheels would just be wrong. Hope you get it sorted
