    1968 Radio Install Question

    I bought an original (from what I was told) 1968 Mustang AM Radio off Ebay. It came with the bezel and seems to be as advertised. The problem is when I attempted to install it it seems to be hitting up against the AC duct. The bezel won't sit flush due to the duct forcing the radio to sit at...

The new moulding includes small plastic "screws" but the old moulding seems to be glued on...I don't want to start ripping out the old moulding until I know what I'm in for (especially after my last round with the side windows!)...

    1968 Exploded view of door

    Does anyone have an exploded view of the door & window components. I pulled the side window out to greese up the tracks and window mechanism and now I'm having some difficulty getting it all back together... Never as easy to get these old cars back together as they are to pull apart ;)...

    I am attempting to replace the Control Selector Dial Seal on my CS and I need to remove the Gear Shift Lever to get to it. The only problem is that I can't find an allen head driver that will fit the screw holding the Gear Shift Lever in place. Has anyone recently removed their Gear Shift...

    1968 Help Authenticating a GT/CS

    We just bought our first 1968 GT/CS and got it home yesterday. The previous owner had the car for about 10 years (confirmed by title). I don't believe that there is any potential for deception on his part - as a matter of fact this may be all in my head but I wanted to get some feedback from...

    I am considering a California Special that is located about 200 miles from my home. I'll definitely inspect before buying but am trying to do as much due diligence before heading out. The car has aftermarket wheels but the owner says that he thinks he has the originals that came with the car...
