You almost had me Arlie! ;) I saw this and thought "Dang, I was just in the Seattle area helping out the kid". Gotta stay focused though on putting his '69 Fairlane convertible back together. Steve

Depending on what the casting number of the head is, it might designate that it's a GT-40 head.

You have a better eye than me. I'm not seeing anything except the air conditioning compressor is missing the support bar. I really miss my CS. Steve

:giggle: Sometimes I really miss the days when moving meant loading everything you owned in the back of a friends pickup and driving away.

There's one here in Spirit Lake today that I'm going to. No car entered due to unfortunate shop positioning, but we'll walk through and admire other peoples efforts. (The Tiger is under the hoist with the Fairlane on a rotisserie behind it. Can't move the Fairlane because my tractor with the...

I know how you feel Dad. Ever once in a while I find myself starting to think it's better to pay someone else to do some projects instead of doing it myself. Steve

From the pics, it may have rust at the bottom of the doors and the quarter panel to rocker seam. If it's there, the floors probably have rust as well. If they want to sell it, inspect carefully. Rust repair gets expensive in a hurry.

It's been a while, but I thought the plugs for the tail light harness, etc, were behind the drivers front kick panel.

Don't you just love it when Bubba decides to get creative?

In the 70's and 80's, when originality was king, using an aftermarket radiator hose was sacrilege. With today's resto-mod craze, almost anything seems to go. With that said, I would only make changes that can easily be changed back, such as the brakes, radiator, carb, that you're talking about...

The dealer replacement pumps had FoMoCo stamps, but probably wouldn't have had the 1968 part number like yours. Long ago, you could have a water pump rebuilt, instead of just replacing it. Yours might be original, or the original casting that was rebuilt. Also in the past, auto parts stores sold...

Wow, you can just tell by looking that guy knows what he's doing! ;) Steve

Jon, I'll offer my thoughts. Moog used to be the king for suspension, but I think everything is built in China now. I've seen some of their stuff that was horrible. Hate to admit it, but recently I've just bought stuff from NAPA because if it's not right, it's easy to take back (and their...

Sorry to hear about your health issues and prayers for a full recovery.

I sent you a PM. I have all three versions I'd sell if you're interested. PM me and let me know. Steve

Neil, you're like the Energizer bunny of the Mustang restoration world. I'm in awe of the work you do. Steve

The remote filter on my Tiger is on the outside of the inner fender, behind the left headlight. Sounds like you already dimpled the tube though.

Rob, instead of constricting a header tube for the oil filter, what about using a remote filter? Steve

Plus it will be much easier now to replace that right front (battery tray) apron. Steve

Count me in for 100% of what Rob said as well. You don't want to get blast media into the engine or tranny. I've had a couple of cars blasted with aluminum oxide, but I'm thinking the next one I do will be with dry ice. A lot less cleanup! They also may be able to do the underside without a...
