    1968 Need brake cylinder and booster unit for PB car

    I paid $50 for a correct Midlands booster and proportioning valve a couple years ago on Ebay. I ended up giving it away, but it probably would have bolted right in, certainly would have been a good core. Keep looking, you will find one for a reasonable price.

    1968 Great couple of hours with Neil (Franklinair) today

    Neil is a great guy to get to know! You are lucky he is near by. Here is a long, but extremely helpful posting on taking care of older single stage paint. It could really make a difference in helping your original paint shine! I just spent 3 days on a 35 year old lacquer paint job and it...

    1968 Mustang GT/CS convertible ?

    Here is one that I owned, but recently sold. They look nice as convertibles, too bad they never made one.

    Rob, Great installation. Those frame connectors sit really nice and tight to the frame. Next time I go to visit my son at UPS in Tacoma, you'll have to take me for a ride! David

    07 GT Wheels on my GT/CS?

    When I bought my '68 convertible it had 18" Foose wheels with 1 1/2" spacers. I was comfortable with them for normal, around town driving. However, I quickly replaced them with Shelby 10 spoke 15" wheels.

    Peggy's '57 T-Bird

    Sounds like you have a 351W. Not original, but a whole lot more cubic inches! Stroke that bad boy!!! David Off the internet: The 351W and 302 are very different: The 351W has a taller deck height than the 302. (a 302 will have the intake almost flush with the base of the distributor...

    1968 Well, I just bought the "7 million in gold and 1 GT/CS" car

    Radial T/A's are good and inexpensive, but I like Cooper Tires. Made in America. 215x70x14 is pretty common, slightly more aggressive than stock. I also prefer black side out! I also would not go any bigger than 2 1/2" on the exhaust with a stock engine. Maybe even smaller, save some money...

    Wanted Lower console assembly

    I read somewhere that the tooling costs were in excess of $150,000. Probably one of the reasons the 68's aren't being reproduced. One year only parts can be expensive! Not having good luck with my contacts (Jim B) in Colorado. Lots of parts, but pretty much useless - no bases, just pads and...

    Wanted Lower console assembly

    Scott, what is the difference between an AC and non AC console base and can a non AC be modified? I assume it has something to do with the underdash components and hoses??

    Wanted Lower console assembly

    Neil, I will call you later to discuss, but I currently have plans to see/purchase the console in Denver tomorrow morning. The one above in Utah will be cheaper (if it is complete). Here are pictures of the humphugger. One came in my convertible when I bought it. I ended up selling it, but...
