Like most of the other responders, I run Type F fluid in my 727, always have. I also run one of the deep steel pans and have never had an issue with it.
I don't have the coat hooks in mine and the panels stay in place without them. I did put new panels in when I put the new headliner in years ago, and they are still fitting good.
This should be in the Parts For Sale section, not here. Also, all the cores have the openings for the A/C vents so your core would work for A/C or non A/C cars. When the cores are redone the holes are covered over on a non A/C pad.

Correct on both accounts! Mine was a great fit, just had to do some trimming. I got mine with the upgraded "Mass Backing", some kind of a rubber type backing and it was a big improvement over the jute backing.
I-10 in Arizona sucks! I could sit in a car blindfolded and literally tell right when we crossed the state line from New Mexico into Arizona! New Mexico has it's I-10 problems too though. The issue is that I-10 has some of the highest volume of commercial carriers in the country and those...
Great story! I'm looking forward to following this restoration. Please try and post pics as it goes on. Are you considering building a small block engine similar to what your dad built to go in the car?
