    1968 Export brace and sway bar.

    I did the Shelby drop to a friends '68 "back in the day". I also removed the jacked up shackles, pulled the 14" wheels and tires and put on a set of 15's with low profile tires. We used to call that +1/-1 (1" extra wheel height/1" less tire sidewall). It made a huge difference in handling and my...

    I have a genetic defect that runs in my family. My brother Rob and son Joe each have it, and I think Tim is a cousin in there somewhere. My right foot is heavier than my left and I have weak ankles. Steve

    Why Rob, I don't know what you're talking about. :confused: Are you sure it's me you're thinking of? :grin: Steve

    Rob, those tips look great! Good choice. As for the Tiger, if you put a scratch in my 50 year old paint I.............probably won't even notice. Steve

    Rob's throttle has two positions, idle and wide open throttle. He idles to where he's going to impress you and then it's like sitting in an IMAX theater. You have a 360 degree view of your surroundings and you don't even have to move your head or look out the side windows. NOT for the faint of...

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

    I swear by 303, and use it on my white water raft to protect the material from sun damage. As for NOS weatherstrip, I'd just go with repop. NOS is still 45 year old rubber, and weatherstrip is one area the repops aren't bad. Steve

    Timing marks on 289

    I usually put a thin line about 1/2 the depth of the damper for the TDC mark, and then smaller hashmarks where I want to set the timing. I like having the extra reference point. Steve

    1968 168 J-Code

    I would have a frame shop check the front end and see if it's really out or not. They may be able to pull it around if it's not to far off. If it can't be tweaked, I don't think there would be much value in a stripped coupe shell with a bad front clip, CS or not. At that point I think your...

    Peggy's '57 T-Bird

    I think maintenance would suffer as well. Who would want to test drive a pink car to see what that rattle was? Steve

    I think you've driven it more the last few weeks than I did all last year! Good thing, 'cause it needs it. Steve

    Tiger is in the House

    Thanks! I hate to admit that it's actually a 20-30 foot car, but Rob's being kind with the camera. Steve
